BART grabs commute rail money - SMART should worry
Author: synonymouse
Date: 01-15-2009 - 13:10

A compliant MTC agreed to give BART $91 million that was intended for a Dunbarton Bridge commute rail service. A drop in the bucket against the total cost of the San Jose extension. Established transit agencies, like SF MUNI, AC Transit and Caltrain, who are already cash-strapped, will have to fight with BART for every penny of their federal and state funding controlled by MTC.

When SMART runs out of money, and it will, and comes hat in hand to the MTC for a bailout it won't stand a chance against BART. Watch for some very creative financing.
