Public transit should be non-union. The ineptness of BART is an example of why the unions should not exist in modern day America.

Last night (Feb 26th), I was at the RSA show at Moscone Center and tried to take BART back to the East Bay. Upon entering Montgomery Station, there was a huge crowd waiting to get in and out of the station. We were informed that "police activity" would cause a 60 minute (at least) delay.

The delays incurred for all were ridiculous. BART operates like a government entity: in it's own silo without any concern or care for the riders that it "serves". BART is a joke.

I was affected by the same delay, going the opposite direction. It was caused by suspected robbers running into the BART tunnel at 24th St.

BART service resumes after S.F. chase - SFGate

I suppose they could have kept the trains running, but they would have to wash them down afterwards.

I don't see what that has to do with unions. You know the police are unionized, as well?
