Perhaps there will not be another strike since it does appear the two sides are making some progress and BART management is giving in to some demands but ultimately, it will be us, the passengers who will pay for it, literally!
SF Business Times reports that the settlement could raise BART fares by up to 18%. I pay $8.50 daily already. I guess I will expect that to go up to $10 per day. Even more of a reason to work from home for a couple days a week.
I think employers in Bay Area should start offering commuter benefits, not just pre-tax but actually allow a $80 - $100 commuting allowance per month. Adobe did that before and it was great!
What do you think? Do you get commuter benefits?
