San Fransisco Bay's (USA) rapid transit system (BART) depending on new taxes to pass in the next election for its continued existence

Long article from The Guardian about BART's dependence on new tax revenue for its survival. I had no idea it used to support itself almost entirely on fares - but not since CoViD. The Guardian is a well regarded for accuracy liberal-leaning global paper, concentrating on the UK, Europe, USA, and Australia.
