Bob Powers, general manager at Bart. You know, I'm I'm a Bart writer. Um and I've noticed ridership slowly creeping back up on my way into work. What's your plan to try and bring back really like the large numbers of riders onto onto the trains. Yeah. Thanks. So first, thanks for being a part writer. And, um, that's great to hear that I was out the system last night and I can report that. You know that work were clean. Um In June. Just this past month, we put more service out in the system with 26 trains during peak hour and 16 on the weekends will be back to pre covid ridership. Um and August. By on August 30th. That's pre pandemic service levels. Right, so that's like you'll have restored all the service that that's right. Yeah. And so what we're doing, you know, to get people back to, um, couple things, one cleaner trains and cleaner stations, you know, focusing back on traditional cleaning, picking up the You know the cars in the clean restrooms. That's one big one to a more of a presence in the system. We have a progressive policing bureau that working with the BART board of directors and Bevin, Duffy and Latifah. Simon. We really Um, focusing on getting a presence out in the system and unarmed presence, you know, to work through some of these quality of life challenges that folks are having. And then the The other thing we're doing is 50% off all Clipper fares for the entire month of September. Um and so we think, you know that combination will be very successful and lowering riders and bringing the ridership back to Bart and to all public transit in the Bay Area. Baba Listener tweets, Please extend Bart. Our stopping service at nine means people cannot rely on bar to come home from work or dinners out with ride. Share prices. Surging part is losing out on serious revenue and goodwill. Extend service until 11 or 12 on Fridays and Saturdays. A sap When is that going to happen? Well, um It will definitely happen on.
