Just had to text Tomboto that I'm out for this evening -- feeling very under the weather since Saturday night and I just want to go home and lie down. All other evenings this week spoken for already so I'll just send best to all for whatever works out!

BART loses money every year, and has been overburdened for years as well. this is what happens when people don't want to accept rate increases.
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 17 March 2016 17:42 (eight years ago) link
what they really need to do (and are currently fielding plans for) is drill a second tunnel under the bay. and who's gonna pay for that.

Hello, welcome to the planet Earth where *extremely* few public transportation systems run at a fare-based profit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farebox_recovery_ratio#Farebox_ratios_around_the_world
BART actually rates pretty well in the USA.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 17 March 2016 17:51 (eight years ago) link
Scratch that, BART rates #1 in fare-based profit across all American municipal transit agencies and a close second to Amtrak.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 17 March 2016 17:54 (eight years ago) link
not arguing with any of that! that they're the least under-funded doesn't obviate the fact that they need more money. every system could use more investment, including BART.

his house is half a block from my apartment; since he's moved in, there are two guys, presumably armed, sitting in an SUV parked outside 24 hours a day staring down every single person who walks down 21st street. I remember being impressed when he moved to mission central that he wanted to live among the plebs, but as it is turning out, he doesn't

the main problems with BART are:1. it's too expensive -- it's cheaper to drive from the East Bay to SF than to take BART, except for maybe the 9 to 5 ppl that work downtown (granted there are a lot of them). I don't think I've taken BART in over 2 yrs?2. it stops running well before bars close.
― sarahell, Friday, 18 March 2016 15:50 (eight years ago) link
xpost Oh yeah, right...huh. I think we'll have to wait for late April or May! Pretty much all these weekends coming up I'm either booked for other things or out of town visiting my folks or going to Seattle for EMP.

That said IT SHOULD BE NOTED...
That VG is in fact coming to town with her guy for the Holy Holy show at the Fillmore at the end of April, Friday April 29th:

Now I'm not saying you should all go to the show. (But you should all go to the show.) There had been talk of doing some sort of meetup for dinner or whatever beforehand in the vicinity. Given it'll be a Friday night and etc.etc. we should be careful with our planning but...?

Yeah sorry Ned, <3 u, but going into the city at night is usually a pain in the ass for me so I'm only going if VG is there

P.s Ned was it you who posted julien baker's tiny desk concert? Bc I bought the album after that and holy shit it might be some of the most heart wrenching music I've ever heard.
― just1n3, Friday, 18 March 2016 21:42 (eight years ago) link
Well sounds like VG is going to be there so hey. :-D Antipodean greatness! I don't know if I posted that one in particular...
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 18 March 2016 22:23 (eight years ago) link
fwiw my wife has tentatively agreed to this dinner-at-Dosa thing on the 29th (dunno if we can afford the Bowie tribute show, altho it sounds great)
