You can expect to see more police officers patrolling BART stations and trains.
BART police Chief Ed Alvarez at a Monday news briefing said he will also add more of his armed officers on trains.
According to BART's own figures, ridership on the trains is still down by 60% because of the pandemic. BART leadership is trying to do everything possible to try and get riders back. "If BART doesn't get ridership back up, the system could go bankrupt and shut down," Bay Area Council COO John Grubb said."To get revenue back up, we have to get people back on BART and paying those fairs."
