I also let him know that I would not be able to participate on his economic council. Joining the group was not meant to be an endorsement of the President or his agenda but unfortunately it has been misinterpreted to be exactly that.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cem>I spent a lot of time thinking about this and mapping it to our values.

There are many ways we will continue to advocate for just change on immigration but staying on the council was going to get in the way of that. The executive order is hurting many people in communities all across America. Families are being separated, people are stranded overseas and there’s a growing fear the U.S. is no longer a place that welcomes immigrants.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cem>Immigration and openness to refugees is an important part of our country’s success and quite honestly to Uber’s. I am incredibly proud to work directly with people like Thuan and Emil, both of whom were refugees who came here to build a better life for themselves. I know it has been a tough week for many of you and your families, as well as many thousands of drivers whose stories are heartfelt and heart-wrenching.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cem>Please know, your questions and stories on Tuesday, along with what I heard from drivers, have kept me resilient and reminded me of one of our most essential cultural values, Be Yourself. We will fight for the rights of immigrants in our communities so that each of us can be who we are with optimism and hope for the future.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

I also let him know that I would not be able to participate on his economic council. Joining the group was not meant to be an endorsement of the President or his agenda but unfortunately it has been misinterpreted to be exactly that.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cem>I spent a lot of time thinking about this and mapping it to our values. There are a couple that are particularly relevant:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cem>Inside Out - The implicit assumption that Uber (or I) was somehow endorsing the Administration’s agenda has created a perception-reality gap between who people think we are, and who we actually are.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cem>Just Change - We must believe that the actions we take ultimately move the ball forward. There are many ways we will continue to advocate for just change on immigration but staying on the council was going to get in the way of that. The executive order is hurting many people in communities all across America. Families are being separated, people are stranded overseas and there’s a growing fear the U.S. is no longer a place that welcomes immigrants.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cem>Immigration and openness to refugees is an important part of our country’s success and quite honestly to Uber’s. I am incredibly proud to work directly with people like Thuan and Emil, both of whom were refugees who came here to build a better life for themselves. I know it has been a tough week for many of you and your families, as well as many thousands of drivers whose stories are heartfelt and heart-wrenching.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cem>Please know, your questions and stories on Tuesday, along with what I heard from drivers, have kept me resilient and reminded me of one of our most essential cultural values, Be Yourself. We will fight for the rights of immigrants in our communities so that each of us can be who we are with optimism and hope for the future.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"headTitle": "News Fix | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The dawning of the Trump administration has prompted a spike in BART ridership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transit agency says events over the past two weekends -- including the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/21/protesters-gather-across-bay-area-and-sacramento-for-womens-marches-against-trump/\" target=\"_blank\">massive Women's March demonstrations\u003c/a> on Jan. 21 and this past weekend's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/28/protesters-rush-to-airports-as-trump-order-targeting-refugees-take-effect/\" target=\"_blank\">immigration protests\u003c/a> at San Francisco International Airport -- drew crowds of extra passengers to the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART said Monday that it recorded 6,309 exits at its SFO station on Saturday. That was nearly double the average Saturday SFO ridership for the previous month and 50 percent above its Saturday SFO average (4,344 passengers) for all of 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, the increase was more dramatic. The agency said 9,770 people exited at SFO -- triple the average for the previous five weeks and more than double its Sunday SFO average for 2016 (4,091 passengers).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART also reports that ridership on Jan. 21, a day featuring huge Women's March gatherings in Oakland and San Francisco, was the second-highest Saturday patronage in the system's history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said 347,322 people rode its trains the day of the marches. The system was jam-packed that day, riders say, despite the agency putting extra trains into service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That Saturday ridership is surpassed only by the crowds that poured into stations on Feb. 6, 2016. BART says it recorded 419,161 exits that day. Passengers thronged to Super Bowl City in downtown San Francisco, a Warriors' home game at Oakland's Oracle Arena and a Metallica concert at AT&T Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>In other BART news:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Waiting for Warm Springs:\u003c/strong> Like you, we're wondering when BART's extension from Fremont to Warm Springs will open. The agency said it hoped to begin service in the fall. Autumn came and went as workers upgraded electrical infrastructure and wrestled with computer hardware and software problems. The latest from BART spokesman Chris Filippi:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>At this point no opening date has been set. Yes, some of the electrical cables to Warm Springs had to be replaced. Also, as you mention, there have been problems getting the new software to communicate with our current aging computer system. Progress is being made but there is still more testing to be done before we can be confident that the new station is ready for revenue service. Once the testing is complete, then we will also need state approval to open Warm Springs.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Waiting for the Fleet of the Future:\u003c/strong> Like you, we're wondering when we'll get to see the new generation of BART cars running on the tracks. And yes, we'd like to ride on them, too. Agency officials said in October that they hoped to have the first 10 cars (of a potential order of 1,081 cars to be delivered over the next five or six years) ready to roll by the end of 2016. First, they'd be operated on BART's \"main line\" -- its regular tracks. And then at some point in early 2017, BART would give manufacturer Bombardier the high sign to begin full-scale production, and those first cars would go into regular passenger service. Here's where we are now, according to BART's Filippi:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The first 10-car train has been delivered and it is being tested on a regular basis on our mainline during the overnight hours when we are not in service. Once that testing is complete, we will tell Bombardier to start production of more cars. We do not have a firm date for when the new cars will begin revenue service. We should start getting additional new cars later this year.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Waiting for BART's next board meeting?\u003c/strong> It's scheduled for \u003ca href=\"http://www.bart.gov/sites/default/files/docs/notices/01-27-17%20Notice.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">9 a.m. Feb. 9\u003c/a> in the BART board room on the third floor at 344 20th St. in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That was nearly double the average Saturday SFO ridership for the previous month and 50 percent above its Saturday SFO average (4,344 passengers) for all of 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, the increase was more dramatic. The agency said 9,770 people exited at SFO -- triple the average for the previous five weeks and more than double its Sunday SFO average for 2016 (4,091 passengers).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART also reports that ridership on Jan. 21, a day featuring huge Women's March gatherings in Oakland and San Francisco, was the second-highest Saturday patronage in the system's history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The system was jam-packed that day, riders say, despite the agency putting extra trains into service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That Saturday ridership is surpassed only by the crowds that poured into stations on Feb. 6, 2016. BART says it recorded 419,161 exits that day. Passengers thronged to Super Bowl City in downtown San Francisco, a Warriors' home game at Oakland's Oracle Arena and a Metallica concert at AT&T Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>In other BART news:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Waiting for Warm Springs:\u003c/strong> Like you, we're wondering when BART's extension from Fremont to Warm Springs will open. The agency said it hoped to begin service in the fall. Autumn came and went as workers upgraded electrical infrastructure and wrestled with computer hardware and software problems. The latest from BART spokesman Chris Filippi:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>At this point no opening date has been set. Yes, some of the electrical cables to Warm Springs had to be replaced. Also, as you mention, there have been problems getting the new software to communicate with our current aging computer system. Progress is being made but there is still more testing to be done before we can be confident that the new station is ready for revenue service. Once the testing is complete, then we will also need state approval to open Warm Springs.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Waiting for the Fleet of the Future:\u003c/strong> Like you, we're wondering when we'll get to see the new generation of BART cars running on the tracks. And yes, we'd like to ride on them, too. Agency officials said in October that they hoped to have the first 10 cars (of a potential order of 1,081 cars to be delivered over the next five or six years) ready to roll by the end of 2016. First, they'd be operated on BART's \"main line\" -- its regular tracks. And then at some point in early 2017, BART would give manufacturer Bombardier the high sign to begin full-scale production, and those first cars would go into regular passenger service. Here's where we are now, according to BART's Filippi:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The first 10-car train has been delivered and it is being tested on a regular basis on our mainline during the overnight hours when we are not in service. Once that testing is complete, we will tell Bombardier to start production of more cars. We do not have a firm date for when the new cars will begin revenue service. We should start getting additional new cars later this year.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Waiting for BART's next board meeting?\u003c/strong> It's scheduled for \u003ca href=\"http://www.bart.gov/sites/default/files/docs/notices/01-27-17%20Notice.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">9 a.m. Feb. 9\u003c/a> in the BART board room on the third floor at 344 20th St. in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In 2004, the district's survey found a dramatically reduced number of problem areas and recorded the system's all-time-high customer satisfaction level, 86 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART's in the midst of a huge reinvestment initiative now. The agency has begun the process of replacing and expanding its fleet of old train cars, and it's using a $3.5 billion bond measure passed in November to launch systemwide infrastructure repairs and improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, help may be on the way, BART riders. In the meantime:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The bikes weigh 33 pounds and come equipped with airless tires, so users don’t have to worry about flats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The beauty is the fact that we don’t have docking stations, which makes us special and unique in this market,” said Movshovich, who is also co-founder of the shared-parking startup \u003ca href=\"https://www.carmanation.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CARMAnation\u003c/a>. “It’s more likely that people are going to be using the bikes when it’s a couple of steps from them as opposed to a couple of blocks. We bring easier access.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Movshovich wouldn’t talk numbers, neither confirming the amount of funding the company has raised nor the number of bikes the company plans to deploy around the city. But he said it’s nowhere near 10,000 to 20,000, as some have speculated. The company can scale up or down depending on the demand, he said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Angel Island, for example, has a sensor that detects particulates in the air. When there are enough particles, the foghorn goes off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some foghorns, even some very important ones, require a human to flip a switch or press a button.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This brings us to our final stop: the Golden Gate Bridge. Our guide is operating engineer Mario Territo with the \u003ca href=\"http://goldengate.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Golden Gate Bridge, Highway & Transportation District\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the bridge opened in the 1930s, he says, there were a lot of complaints from people who lived in San Francisco because they were being kept awake by the foghorns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They run 149 decibels,” Territo says. That’s nine decibels louder than the point at which a person starts to feel pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, Territo says they redirected the foghorns more toward the center of the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then the Alcatraz prisoners were complaining that it was interrupting their sleep,” he says. Those complaints were largely ignored, however, and the foghorns stayed that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I meet Territo with the goal of seeing the Golden Gate Bridge foghorns. They’re frequent favorites with some nautical experts because of their design: The horns run on compressed air, while more modern ones are electric.

Angel Island, for example, has a sensor that detects particulates in the air. When there are enough particles, the foghorn goes off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some foghorns, even some very important ones, require a human to flip a switch or press a button.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This brings us to our final stop: the Golden Gate Bridge. Our guide is operating engineer Mario Territo with the \u003ca href=\"http://goldengate.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Golden Gate Bridge, Highway & Transportation District\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the bridge opened in the 1930s, he says, there were a lot of complaints from people who lived in San Francisco because they were being kept awake by the foghorns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They run 149 decibels,” Territo says. That’s nine decibels louder than the point at which a person starts to feel pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, Territo says they redirected the foghorns more toward the center of the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then the Alcatraz prisoners were complaining that it was interrupting their sleep,” he says. Those complaints were largely ignored, however, and the foghorns stayed that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I meet Territo with the goal of seeing the Golden Gate Bridge foghorns. They’re frequent favorites with some nautical experts because of their design: The horns run on compressed air, while more modern ones are electric. I also want to get a sense of just how loud these are, and find out who turns them on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get to two out of the five foghorns on the bridge, we have to go down 240 feet through a secret door that, if you’ve ever walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, you have passed and likely not noticed. Then we squeeze into a phone booth-size elevator inside the South Tower of the bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we scramble out onto a concrete platform, we’re just 40 feet above the bay waves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11275755\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11275755\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"A rare view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the concrete base of its South Tower.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-1180x1770.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-960x1440.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-240x360.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-375x563.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut-520x780.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/RS23442_161219_GGFoghorns_bhs04-qut.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rare view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the concrete base of its South Tower. \u003ccite>(Brittany Hosea-Small/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“As you can see, we’re on the South Tower Pier,” Territo says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He points to two orange tanks on the concrete platform.
