or have longer commutes, the less competitive transit becomes. almost every rider we met lived outside of san francisco. >> i actually live in vallejo. i take the ferry often. the experience on b.a.r.t. is a little bit jarring, given the amount of people and the inconvenience, navigating it of the. >> that's one of the city's proposed solutions. address crowding issues with fleet improvements. improve service and better fares and routes. he always struggles to explain to it visitors. >> especially people from europe can't understand it. it is disjointed. why are there so many methods? muni? b.a.r.t. >> we did reach out to muni and b.a.r.t. they did not get back to me today but it is likely they will talk about this tomorrow when artyukhin makes a presentation to the transit commission.

>> this study doesn't just look at possible causes of ridership decline. it also determined what isn't causing the problem which is interesting. can you talk about that? >> yeah. that's right. >> they ruled out a few causes that i know get blamed. they don't believe that transit fares and fuel prices have anything to do with the decrease in ridership and as well, the transit buses that companies use, that shuttle employees to and from their work, they say that has not made a difference in the decline of ridership. back to you. >> all right. thank you. >> we do want to hear your ideas of building a better bay area. >> b.a.r.t. officials are hoping a new addition will make the system cleaner and safer for workers and riders alike. they were showing off a perot time escalator canopy with a metal dropdown curtain. the board of directors is expected to vote this week onnd aing canopies to nearly two
