Bay Area Rapid Transit

Good link showing how much BART employees make. For mostly unskilled labor working for a losing operation they sure have a lot of balls even thinking about striking. Bart's payroll is $380 million and they only have $360 million in sales.

I hear those trains are awefully loud....

 

"I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend, And I ain't seen the sunshine, Since, I don't know when, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, And time keeps draggin' on, But that train keeps a-rollin', On down to San Antone. When I was just a baby, My Mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns," But I shot a man in Reno, Just to watch him die, When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry. I bet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car, They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars, But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free, But those people keep a-movin', And that's what tortures me. Well, if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move out over a little, Farther down the line, Far from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to stay, And I'd let that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues away. Want to know? ChaCha and go!"

Their loudness had nothing to do with whistles.

 

That is a relief!

 

Did you see where a couple people got killed inspecting tracks? What are the saying about that locally?

 

Rail is the answer! If only government controlled all transportation.....

 

Don't be an idiot.

 

I am a direct gov't worker. I work in transportation and directly impact about 200 million dolllars a year of the regional/national economy. I may NOT strike. We sign a no strike agreement. If we do strike, we get fired.

 

Point is... Maybe maybe gov't should control all of the transpotation?
