Here goes!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did they build the underwater tunnels for BART? \u003c/strong>\u003cem>Submitted by Briana\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dan Brekke: So this is one of the great epics of the BART construction story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took about seven years, starting in 1959, to study the route and design the construction system for what we now call the Transbay Tube. The structure was built in sections — 57 in all, varying in length, but averaging about 335 feet. Contractors built the sections at a pier in San Francisco. When they were done with all that work, which included lining the tube section with concrete, they would tow it into the bay and then they would lower it, sealed at both ends, down to its location. Divers would join the sections of tube together one at a time; they were being welded together and bolted. The tube rests in a shallow trench that had been dug before the sections were brought out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took about three years of actual construction to get that all that in place after construction started in 1966 and another several years to do all the other electrical and finishing work. That’s the tube we have today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other aspect I find fascinating is that you’re actually going down pretty steeply on both sides of the bay when you’re in the tube. When you start on the Oakland side you’re above ground, say 50 feet, and then you you plunge under the bay, 130 feet below the surface. Then you have to come up on the San Francisco side to connect to the tunnel at Embarcadero — though you’re still about 100 below ground level at that point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The experience as a passenger is that passage is pretty flat.

But there are a couple places where you change elevation pretty significantly under the water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In its nearly 50 years of existence, why has BART taken so long to extend into Santa Clara County? And only normally protruded into San Mateo County and never expanded into any of the North Bay counties? \u003c/strong>\u003cem>Submitted by Mark\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DB: The simple answer is that most Bay Area counties had the choice of opting into BART in the early ’60s, and some opted out, including Santa Clara and San Mateo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was some talk about going up to the North Bay, specifically Marin. There were engineering studies that showed it was feasible to go to put track below the roadway on the Golden Gate Bridge. Three engineering studies found that was fine, and one sponsored by the Golden Gate Bridge District did not support that idea. However, when San Mateo County opted out, the backers of BART no longer thought that the Marin idea would be feasible. On top of that, the Golden Gate Bridge District never really liked the idea because back then BART would have been competition for the service they were offering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So BART has only gone into Santa Clara and San Mateo in relatively recent history — the 1990s in San Mateo County’s case, and soon in Santa Clara County, where the first extension there, to San Jose’s Berryessa neighborhood, is expected to finally open late this spring. That’s because people in those counties reconsidered and passed taxes that allowed BART to expand there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why are there news kiosks in the BART station that are closed?

It was really just the Chronicle and Examiner. It wasn’t like an old-fashioned newsstand like you might see outside of a subway station in New York or Chicago (or on the platforms of some stations in those cities). But guess what? Newspaper street sales, which used to be a big thing, have dried up because of this digital medium we’re using right now. Street vendors and newspaper boxes are a thing of the past.

Trains stop running around 1 a.m. and then there is a window of time between 1 and 4 a.m. when a lot of maintenance takes place.

That makes them harder to maintain and also creates a problem few people were thinking about when BART was new. In one case, the original manufacturer of many of the escalators in San Francisco’s downtown stations, and some others, has gone out of business. To do simple maintenance, BART has to go out and hunt for spare parts.

It was out of service so long that somebody came along and wrote “the rapture” in that blank space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I started to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10969699/at-barts-16th-mission-station-the-rapture-is-nigh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">track how long\u003c/a> it was taking to get that escalator up and running, and it was out of service more than six months.

They’re not just getting overhauled — brand new escalators are being installed. It’s an expensive project and will be going on for years.

"content": "\u003cp>Ed Alvarez, appointed Friday as BART's new police chief, had just finished telling a reporter about his top priorities for the transit agency and its police force. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want people to be safe,\" Alvarez said near the conclusion of a media event at Balboa Park Station. \"That's my ultimate goal. I want people to be on our system, safe. So they're able to get to their destinations ... and not be worried about being accosted or anything like that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To achieve that goal, the new chief announced he's assigning a dozen officers to patrol trains and station platforms on nights and weekends. That, along with a six-month pilot project approved by the agency's board of directors Thursday to deploy 10 uniformed but unarmed ambassadors to patrol trains every evening, is designed to improve security on the system with a more visible BART presence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My main goal is to create that presence to mitigate and to get everybody safely to where they need to be,\" Alvarez said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But no sooner had Alvarez said that than he got a reminder of how far BART has to go to win over customers rattled by the crime, mental illness and aggressive behavior they sometimes encounter on the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as Alvarez finished speaking, a woman approached and said, \"I have a complaint.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cheryl Willner, 67, of Dublin, had just gotten off a train to transfer to one going to San Francisco International Airport. She was on her way to her job as a flight attendant for American Airlines. It wasn't clear she knew she was addressing BART's chief of police as she recounted her trip from the East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This guy got on, a homeless guy, and he had like four paper bags with,\" Willner said. \"He just got on and plopped them down. And he started talking to himself and changing his clothes and blowing his nose. ... I got up and moved to the next car back.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man followed her, she told Alvarez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was looking to make sure he didn't come back, and then he came back,\" Willner told Alvarez. \"And then he started going off, 'You're looking at me. You're doing this, you're doing that.' I can't even tell you what he said. I just looked down at my phone, and then I called my husband and was on the phone with my husband for 15 minutes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"bart\"]The man got off at Embarcadero Station, Willner said, but she was still shaken by the experience. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I will never take BART again, ever,\" Willner said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm 67 years old, and I can't do this ever again,\" she said, \"I've been here for 10 years, and I don't feel safe. You know, I know you guys are trying. I know you can't be everywhere. But this is not OK.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sorry to hear that,\" Alvarez said. \"Sorry you had to experience that on your way to work. I hope you give us another shot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He offered to talk to Willner privately and give her some \"safety tips\" that might be useful. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a BART Watch app that you could get direct-lined to our dispatch center,\" the chief said. \"You could report stuff. ...\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Willner interrupted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know what, I do that every single frickin' day on my job,\" she said. \"I don't want to have to do that in my hometown. It's not OK. That's all.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added: \"You're very nice, Officer Alvarez — you are. I'm sorry to be complaining.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's all right,\" Alvarez said. \"I want to hear that. I need to know that kind of stuff so I know where to deploy my resources and understand what's happening and what the riders are seeing and experiencing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He ended by saying he hoped Willner would give BART \"another opportunity to give you a better ride.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We'll see,\" Willner said. \u003c/p>\n\n",

So they're able to get to their destinations ... and not be worried about being accosted or anything like that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To achieve that goal, the new chief announced he's assigning a dozen officers to patrol trains and station platforms on nights and weekends. That, along with a six-month pilot project approved by the agency's board of directors Thursday to deploy 10 uniformed but unarmed ambassadors to patrol trains every evening, is designed to improve security on the system with a more visible BART presence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My main goal is to create that presence to mitigate and to get everybody safely to where they need to be,\" Alvarez said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But no sooner had Alvarez said that than he got a reminder of how far BART has to go to win over customers rattled by the crime, mental illness and aggressive behavior they sometimes encounter on the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The 5.4% increase taking effect Wednesday will increase the system's minimum fare from $2 to $2.10. The maximum non-airport fare, for the roughly 60-mile trip from Antioch to Millbrae, will rise from $8.75 to $9.25.

It’s one of the few spaces where people from all over the Bay Area are forced to be around each other. (If fact, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11787959/what-makes-bart-so-politicized\">we did a whole episode\u003c/a> on why BART has been the epicenter of so many contentious political and social conversations in the Bay). BART riders have developed their own culture and etiquette around riding the train. So to catch Alan up to speed, we got some help from BART riders on their morning commute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guest: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/alanmontecillo\">Alan Montecillo\u003c/a>, editor of The Bay\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Subscribe to \u003c/i>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/the-bay\">\u003ci>The Bay\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003ci> to hear more local Bay Area stories like this one.

"content": "\u003cp>BART General Manager Robert Powers took on a job earlier this year leading a transit agency that’s both crucial to the Bay Area and often the source of deep frustration for many riders. One of his first moves was to go out and meet his customers face to face and hear what they have to say. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To do that, Powers launched a \"listening tour\" to talk to riders in each of the system's 48 stations. He's visited nearly two dozen so far, and he's scheduled to be at San Francisco's 16th Street Station between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11787486,news_11785824,news_11786100,news_11785505,news_11720656\" label=\"BART: Recent KQED Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surprisingly — or at least surprising if you're a) a regular BART rider and/or b) familiar with the litany of complaints and concerns that BART patrons often voice on social media about the system's cleanliness, packed trains, late runs, fare evasion, homeless riders and public safety worries — Powers says much of what he hears during his tour has been \"soul-uplifting.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I talk to the riders, there is an emotional connection between them and BART,\" Powers said during a recent visit to the Embarcadero Station in downtown San Francisco. \"They very much depend on BART, they understand how important BART is to the Bay Area and their quality of life, and they generally want BART to be successful.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers, a University of Illinois-trained civil engineer who joined BART in 2012 as assistant general manager for planning development and construction, was appointed to succeed now-retired GM Grace Crunican in July. He says he undertook the listening tour because he wanted \"no filter\" between him and the riding public. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt I had to get out and listen to the concerns that our riders had and hear from them directly without anyone in between me and them,\" Powers said. \"... I don't want anybody's staff, I don't want anybody writing it up. I want somebody to look me in the eye and tell me their concerns about BART. What's working and what's not working.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on his Embarcadero visit, Powers had little trouble getting customers to tell him what they thought. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One, Jeff Calabrese, brought up a couple of familiar issues. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’ve had a number of incidents — I’ve been riding BART for 15 years now — a number of incidents, some where the police never showed up, and San Francisco police have had to come and jump in,\" he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calabrese wasn't finished. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The amount of homeless who sleep on BART is just out of control,\" he said. \"I've gone into a car and three-quarters of the car — not kidding — has been full of homeless people.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers assured Calabrese that BART takes the issue of homeless residents seriously and has taken steps — which include partnering with local governments and social service agencies — to try to address it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know homeless is much bigger than BART, but we’ve got to be part of the solution,\" Powers added. \"And the police presence, I agree. We need to get more police presence in the system. Not necessarily only police — they could be community service officers or ambassadors walking the system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, Powers ventured to approach a group of women chatting on the Embarcadero platform. After introducing himself, he asked, \"How are we doing with cleanliness?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I never would have chosen upholstered seats,\" one woman volunteered, prompting laughter from her companions. She was referring to BART's old-style seats, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/06/us/06bcseats.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">lab tests sponsored by a Bay Area news outlet\u003c/a> found to be swarming with bacteria. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We got rid of all those!\" Powers said, reminding the group that BART ditched the upholstery for vinyl-covered seats after the lab results were published.. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, one woman said, \"You could do better!\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers acknowledges he's getting an earful from patrons, whose comments typically touch on at least one of three major areas: unhappiness with fare evasion and homelessness on the system; the desire to speed up introduction of BART's new Fleet of the Future cars to ease crowding; and the need for what he calls \"an additional presence in the system\" to enhance riders' sense of security. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers is careful to say, as he was in talking to riders like Calabrese, that he's not necessarily talking about sworn police officers. The BART Police Department has been chronically understaffed, a situation that has started to change this year with a concerted hiring drive and approval of funds to expand the force, which has had an authorized strength of 225 sworn officers, by 19 positions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers says the \"additional presence\" he's talking about could come in the form of \"an ambassador type of person.\" He envisions uniformed, radio-equipped teams of two or three people who would be \"walking the system, making eye contact, just talking to people.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Boy that would go a long way when I talk to riders about their perception of safety, especially on nights and weekends,\" Powers said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The general manager says he intends for his tour to yield action on customers' concerns. He says BART will create an online page to track the agency's response to the themes he's hearing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers describes the page \"as somewhere people can see their voices are being heard and action is being taken.\" He'll feel the tour has been a success, he says, if a year from now he's hearing from customers that \"BART listened, and we took action.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers has scheduled listening tour stops at nine stations next month:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jan. 8:\u003c/strong> Glen Park (8 a.m.-9 a.m.); El Cerrito Plaza (3:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jan. 15:\u003c/strong> South Hayward (8 a.m.-9 a.m.); Ashby/Ed Roberts Campus, 3075 Adeline St., Berkeley (3:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jan. 22: \u003c/strong> Antioch (5 a.m.-6 a.m.); Pittsburg Center (6:45 a.m.-7:45 a.m.); Pittsburg/Bay Point E-BART transfer platform (8 a.m.-8:30 a.m.).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jan. 29:\u003c/strong> Castro Valley (8 a.m.-9 a.m.); Balboa Park (3 p.m.-4 p.m.).\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Schedule is subject to change.
