Weāre suingĀ them.

Failure should not be an option. Transit faces a fiscal cliff in this yearās #caleg state budget. #SaveTransit
What does failure look like?
-Trains only once an hour.
-No trains on weekends.
-No trains after 9 p.m. on weeknights.
-Reduced service to @flySFO and @IFlyOAKland airports.
-Some stations closed.
-Entire lines potentially shuttered
