BART unions, management agree to contract
Looks like BART employees and management will agree to a new contract. The typical train operator or station agent, who makes about $60,000 per year, will get a seven percent raise over the next few years. BART employees also get generous benefits, such as free passes for family members, twelve paid holidays a year, an additional birthday holiday, and up to six weeks annual vacation time. However, health care costs for employees will triple to $75 per month.
Most existing work rules were not changed--for example, a person who cleans inside a station cannot also clean the outside of the station.

Can fare increases be far behind? And after that, the inevitable articles wondering why ridership has declined.
Ridership hasn't declined in Washington after two fare increases, so why should it in San Francisco? Especially considering the fact that BART is park-and-ride oriented and gas prices continue to rise.
Actually, nevermind fare increases. BART should just start charging for parking. It’s completely ridiculous that they don’t.
