Funding would help pay for a new train control system and to increase the number of new cars the district is buying from 775 to 1,081.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART says the new control system would allow it to send 30 cars per hour through the Transbay Tube instead of the current 23. Taking that step and adding the extra cars would expand passenger capacity by 49 percent, the agency says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project \"is critical for us,\" BART spokesman Jim Allison said. \"Most of our riders are going through the Transbay Tube and our peak-hour trains are packed. If we can get more trains through there, we can absorb additional riders and make more room for people who are riding now in cramped quarters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>VTA spokesperson Linh Hoang emphasized that the spending proposal released today is preliminary and that the budget process -- with a more complete fiscal plan due later in the spring followed by congressional revisions -- has a long way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're moving forward as planned\" on the BART extension to San Jose, she said. \"We're hoping that Congress will see the value of this project and intervene to get it funded.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if that doesn't happen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will be working diligently to fill that funding gap. This is a project our county has wanted for a long time -- for decades,\" Hoang said, noting that voters have passed two major sales tax measures to support the BART extension.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Funding would help pay for a new train control system and to increase the number of new cars the district is buying from 775 to 1,081.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART says the new control system would allow it to send 30 cars per hour through the Transbay Tube instead of the current 23. Taking that step and adding the extra cars would expand passenger capacity by 49 percent, the agency says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project \"is critical for us,\" BART spokesman Jim Allison said. \"Most of our riders are going through the Transbay Tube and our peak-hour trains are packed. If we can get more trains through there, we can absorb additional riders and make more room for people who are riding now in cramped quarters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>VTA spokesperson Linh Hoang emphasized that the spending proposal released today is preliminary and that the budget process -- with a more complete fiscal plan due later in the spring followed by congressional revisions -- has a long way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're moving forward as planned\" on the BART extension to San Jose, she said. \"We're hoping that Congress will see the value of this project and intervene to get it funded.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if that doesn't happen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will be working diligently to fill that funding gap. This is a project our county has wanted for a long time -- for decades,\" Hoang said, noting that voters have passed two major sales tax measures to support the BART extension.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Eventually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we didn’t know then: when “eventually” would be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now we do: March 25, two weeks from tomorrow Pacific Daylight Time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Warm Springs extension, which runs 5.4 miles south from BART’s current East/South Bay terminus in Fremont, broke ground in 2009 with a planned opening date of 2014. A variety of construction, electrical and technology problems led to the date being moved back into 2015, then early 2016, then late 2016, to now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the issues involved the system’s widely acknowledged problem with aging infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the most serious stumbling blocks we had was a problem with the cables that provide power — not only to Warm Springs but also to the existing line from Hayward to Fremont,” BART spokesman Jim Allison said Friday. “One of those cables failed, and while we were able to continue to run train service from Fremont, we weren’t able to do our testing on the Warm Springs extension.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That resulted in an emergency cable replacement project last year that Allison said set back the Warm Springs timetable six months. After that, BART had to deal with a problem involving the inability of the agency’s ancient train-control computer system to communicate with modern gear installed on the new extension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most recently we’ve had some problems with the software for the train control, and we’ve been working through those methodically,” Allison said. “That took us longer than we had hoped. But the good news is that we do have the finish line in sight now, in just two weeks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART has said that it expects the station to offer an alternative to the traffic-choked Nimitz Freeway, with daily ridership of 6,000 to 7,000 when it opens. The facility will have a 2,000-car parking lot, and 40 of those parking spaces will include solar-powered charging stations for electric cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allison noted that the entire facility, not just the car-charging stations, will run on solar power. But he said his favorite feature is the art-glass installation in the station’s entrance rotunda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s designed to make it a really show-stopping sight, especially with the sun you get in South Fremont in the summertime and spring,” Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Warm Springs extension is a key link in BART’s expansion to Silicon Valley. A 10-mile extension from Warm Springs through Milpitas and on to San Jose’s Berryessa district is schedule to open late this year.\u003c/p>\n\n",

A variety of construction, electrical and technology problems led to the date being moved back into 2015, then early 2016, then late 2016, to now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the issues involved the system’s widely acknowledged problem with aging infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After that, BART had to deal with a problem involving the inability of the agency’s ancient train-control computer system to communicate with modern gear installed on the new extension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most recently we’ve had some problems with the software for the train control, and we’ve been working through those methodically,” Allison said. “That took us longer than we had hoped. But the good news is that we do have the finish line in sight now, in just two weeks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART has said that it expects the station to offer an alternative to the traffic-choked Nimitz Freeway, with daily ridership of 6,000 to 7,000 when it opens. The facility will have a 2,000-car parking lot, and 40 of those parking spaces will include solar-powered charging stations for electric cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allison noted that the entire facility, not just the car-charging stations, will run on solar power. But he said his favorite feature is the art-glass installation in the station’s entrance rotunda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s designed to make it a really show-stopping sight, especially with the sun you get in South Fremont in the summertime and spring,” Allison said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Warm Springs extension is a key link in BART’s expansion to Silicon Valley. A 10-mile extension from Warm Springs through Milpitas and on to San Jose’s Berryessa district is schedule to open late this year.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He issued \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/a-profound-apology/\" target=\"_blank\">a profound apology\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By now I’m sure you’ve seen the video where I treated an Uber driver disrespectfully,\" Kalanick wrote. \"To say that I am ashamed is an extreme understatement. My job as your leader is to lead, and that starts with behaving in a way that makes us all proud. That is not what I did, and it cannot be explained away. ... I want to profoundly apologize to Fawzi, as well as the driver and rider community, and to the Uber team.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kalanick video surfaces as the company faces a long run of stories that arguably place the company, never a stranger to controversy, in a harsher light than ever. Here's a quick rundown from Bloomberg:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In December, Uber pulled its self-driving cars \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/21/uber-to-state-weve-pulled-self-driving-cars-from-s-f-streets/\" target=\"_blank\">off the road\u003c/a> in San Francisco after \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/14/uber-launches-self-driving-car-service-in-san-francisco/\" target=\"_blank\">the California Department of Motor Vehicles said\u003c/a> they were operating illegally without an autonomous vehicle license. In January, more than 200,000 people uninstalled their accounts, and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/deleteuber?src=hash\" target=\"_blank\">#DeleteUber\u003c/a> trended on Twitter, after \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2017/01/29/uber-triggers-protest-for-not-supporting-taxi-strike-against-refugee-ban/?utm_term=.2a56870199b7\" target=\"_blank\">the company was accused\u003c/a> of undermining a New York taxi union strike protesting President Donald Trump’s refugee ban. On Feb. 2, Kalanick reluctantly \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/02/ubers-travis-kalanick-steps-down-from-trumps-advisory-board/\" target=\"_blank\">left his spot\u003c/a> on Trump’s business advisory council to appease the company’s liberal-leaning employees and users—not to mention its many immigrant drivers. On Feb. 19, a former software engineer at Uber \u003ca href=\"https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-one-very-strange-year-at-uber\" target=\"_blank\">wrote a blog post\u003c/a> alleging that she had been propositioned for sex by her manager and that when she’d taken the issue to human resources, an HR rep had said that he wouldn’t be punished, in part, because he was a “high performer.” On Feb. 23, Alphabet’s autonomous car company \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/24/google-spin-off-sues-uber-saying-leader-of-autonomous-vehicle-unit-stole-key-designs/\" target=\"_blank\">Waymo sued Uber\u003c/a> and its self-driving car company Otto, accusing an Uber employee of stealing trade secrets by downloading 14,000 files onto an external hard drive. On Monday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/27/technology/uber-sexual-harassment-amit-singhal-resign.html\" target=\"_blank\">Uber’s head of engineering resigned\u003c/a> after the company said it learned that he had faced a sexual harassment complaint at Alphabet, his former employer. He denied the allegations.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The sexual harassment and discrimination allegations alluded to above, by engineer Susan J. Fowler, describe an unapologetic culture in which Uber's HR department appeared to actively abet a male employee who had approached her and other female workers for sex. Fowler's account \u003ca href=\"https://www.recode.net/2017/2/20/14677546/uber-ceo-travis-kalanick-eric-holder-memo\">prompted the company to retain\u003c/a> former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to lead an investigation, along with the head of HR, Liane Hornsey, and board member Arianna Huffington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fowler's charges also led Kalanick to declare, \"I believe in creating a workplace where a deep sense of justice underpins everything we do. ... It is my number one priority that we come through this a better organization, where we live our values and fight for and support those who experience injustice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two people who say they're not impressed by the promise of an investigation are early Uber investors Mitch and Freada Kapor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their own \u003ca href=\"https://shift.newco.co/an-open-letter-to-the-uber-board-and-investors-2dc0c48c3a7#.xhi3j48w6\">blog post\u003c/a>, they argue that the promised investigation is hardly independent. Holder and his law firm have been lobbying on behalf of Uber since last June, they say, and Huffington and Hornsey are company insiders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More damning, the Kapors says, the Fowler allegations and the company's response appear to repeat earlier behavior:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Silicon Valley prides itself on pattern recognition (often the umbrella under which all sorts of bias lives, but we digress) which supposedly helps them recognize the next Unicorn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are a couple of toxic patterns we have observed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has been here many times before, responding to public exposure of bad behavior by holding an all-hands meeting, apologizing and vowing to change, only to quickly return to aggressive business as usual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investors in high growth, financially successful companies rarely, if ever, call out inexcusable behavior from founders or C-suite executives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both of these patterns need to change. Uber’s outsize success in terms of growth of market share, revenues and valuation are impressive, but can never excuse a culture plagued by disrespect, exclusionary cliques, lack of diversity, and tolerance for bullying and harassment of every form.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\"Culture of disrespect.\" You wonder what the Kapors make of the new Kalanick video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of his public apology, the Uber CEO says: \"The criticism we’ve received is a stark reminder that I must fundamentally change as a leader and grow up. This is the first time I’ve been willing to admit that I need leadership help and I intend to get it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Leadership help\"? You mean something like this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/2GgHaFvmY3s\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Good luck.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Good luck to you, too,\" Kamel shouts. \"But I know you don't gonna go far.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exchange starts just after the four-minute mark of the video above and continues for about 2 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Bloomberg posted the video, it was Kalanick's turn to take responsibility for his own shit. He issued \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.uber.com/a-profound-apology/\" target=\"_blank\">a profound apology\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By now I’m sure you’ve seen the video where I treated an Uber driver disrespectfully,\" Kalanick wrote. \"To say that I am ashamed is an extreme understatement. My job as your leader is to lead, and that starts with behaving in a way that makes us all proud. That is not what I did, and it cannot be explained away. ... I want to profoundly apologize to Fawzi, as well as the driver and rider community, and to the Uber team.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kalanick video surfaces as the company faces a long run of stories that arguably place the company, never a stranger to controversy, in a harsher light than ever. Here's a quick rundown from Bloomberg:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In December, Uber pulled its self-driving cars \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/21/uber-to-state-weve-pulled-self-driving-cars-from-s-f-streets/\" target=\"_blank\">off the road\u003c/a> in San Francisco after \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/12/14/uber-launches-self-driving-car-service-in-san-francisco/\" target=\"_blank\">the California Department of Motor Vehicles said\u003c/a> they were operating illegally without an autonomous vehicle license. In January, more than 200,000 people uninstalled their accounts, and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/deleteuber?src=hash\" target=\"_blank\">#DeleteUber\u003c/a> trended on Twitter, after \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2017/01/29/uber-triggers-protest-for-not-supporting-taxi-strike-against-refugee-ban/?utm_term=.2a56870199b7\" target=\"_blank\">the company was accused\u003c/a> of undermining a New York taxi union strike protesting President Donald Trump’s refugee ban. On Feb. 2, Kalanick reluctantly \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/02/ubers-travis-kalanick-steps-down-from-trumps-advisory-board/\" target=\"_blank\">left his spot\u003c/a> on Trump’s business advisory council to appease the company’s liberal-leaning employees and users—not to mention its many immigrant drivers. On Feb. 19, a former software engineer at Uber \u003ca href=\"https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-one-very-strange-year-at-uber\" target=\"_blank\">wrote a blog post\u003c/a> alleging that she had been propositioned for sex by her manager and that when she’d taken the issue to human resources, an HR rep had said that he wouldn’t be punished, in part, because he was a “high performer.” On Feb. 23, Alphabet’s autonomous car company \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/24/google-spin-off-sues-uber-saying-leader-of-autonomous-vehicle-unit-stole-key-designs/\" target=\"_blank\">Waymo sued Uber\u003c/a> and its self-driving car company Otto, accusing an Uber employee of stealing trade secrets by downloading 14,000 files onto an external hard drive. On Monday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/27/technology/uber-sexual-harassment-amit-singhal-resign.html\" target=\"_blank\">Uber’s head of engineering resigned\u003c/a> after the company said it learned that he had faced a sexual harassment complaint at Alphabet, his former employer. He denied the allegations.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The sexual harassment and discrimination allegations alluded to above, by engineer Susan J. Fowler, describe an unapologetic culture in which Uber's HR department appeared to actively abet a male employee who had approached her and other female workers for sex. Fowler's account \u003ca href=\"https://www.recode.net/2017/2/20/14677546/uber-ceo-travis-kalanick-eric-holder-memo\">prompted the company to retain\u003c/a> former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to lead an investigation, along with the head of HR, Liane Hornsey, and board member Arianna Huffington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fowler's charges also led Kalanick to declare, \"I believe in creating a workplace where a deep sense of justice underpins everything we do. ... It is my number one priority that we come through this a better organization, where we live our values and fight for and support those who experience injustice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two people who say they're not impressed by the promise of an investigation are early Uber investors Mitch and Freada Kapor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their own \u003ca href=\"https://shift.newco.co/an-open-letter-to-the-uber-board-and-investors-2dc0c48c3a7#.xhi3j48w6\">blog post\u003c/a>, they argue that the promised investigation is hardly independent. Holder and his law firm have been lobbying on behalf of Uber since last June, they say, and Huffington and Hornsey are company insiders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More damning, the Kapors says, the Fowler allegations and the company's response appear to repeat earlier behavior:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Silicon Valley prides itself on pattern recognition (often the umbrella under which all sorts of bias lives, but we digress) which supposedly helps them recognize the next Unicorn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are a couple of toxic patterns we have observed:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber has been here many times before, responding to public exposure of bad behavior by holding an all-hands meeting, apologizing and vowing to change, only to quickly return to aggressive business as usual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investors in high growth, financially successful companies rarely, if ever, call out inexcusable behavior from founders or C-suite executives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both of these patterns need to change. Uber’s outsize success in terms of growth of market share, revenues and valuation are impressive, but can never excuse a culture plagued by disrespect, exclusionary cliques, lack of diversity, and tolerance for bullying and harassment of every form.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\"Culture of disrespect.\" You wonder what the Kapors make of the new Kalanick video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of his public apology, the Uber CEO says: \"The criticism we’ve received is a stark reminder that I must fundamentally change as a leader and grow up. This is the first time I’ve been willing to admit that I need leadership help and I intend to get it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Leadership help\"? You mean something like this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
