Poll suggests BART needs to prioritize safety and cleanliness to regain ridership.
TL;DR Summary
A new poll conducted by the Bay Area Council suggests that BART should hire more sworn police officers and focus on keeping trains clean to boost ridership. The poll found that 73% of respondents feel more comfortable riding BART when a uniformed police officer is present, and almost 80% said BART should act more aggressively in ejecting people who violate the agency's passenger code of conduct. The Bay Area Council is among the groups vying to secure a $5 billion temporary bailout for BART and other Bay Area transit agencies.
