🚍✨ Curious about what’s happening with Bay Area transit? From Transit Month celebrations to agencies working together on schedules—and even SB 63, a new bill that could be a lifeline for regional public transit—there’s a lot in motion. KPIX has the breakdown 🎥: www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco...

Bay Area Transit Month comes as agencies face rising ridership, looming deficits

Ridership is recovering for Muni and public transit systems across the board. But it's happening slowly, and the agencies are facing massive budget shortfalls.

To clarify, Tap and Ride payments are for BART only. Maybe something we can rollout in the future, but for now, have you Clipper card/app handy when boarding County Connection.

County Connection @countyconnection.bsky.social · Aug 19

Very excited for our friends at Bay Area Rapid Transit for introducing Tap and Ride, starting tomorrow on BART. Check it out: bart.gov/contactless
