The @sfchronicle is pushing BART's narrative hard on that upcoming tax measure. Don’t fall for the shell game when they say @SFBART is a cost-efficient #transit system based on “operating cost per passenger mile.” What they conveniently omit is that this cherry-picked stat ignores the hundreds of billions in capital costs to build and maintain heavy rail infrastructure and cars. It’s an apples-to-oranges comparison. That’s why Caltrain ranks low in cost PPM too—heavy rail equals massive hidden infrastructure bills. Voters deserve the full picture before approving more taxes.
