operation to run. crowded trains. fair jumpers. safety issues. old trucks. a lot of that has changed. a lot of up dates have been made. there is a new twist. the riders are not there. there is a question about what the future of mass transit is going to be. we got together with bob powers and asked him some tough questions about how he plans to lead the system into the future. >> we are in the housing business. we are an economic engine in the bay area and we are helping with some of the social challenges helping right now. >> it was a commuter system that fed into san francisco as its primary target. now it is evolving into going and encircling the entire bay area. that is quite a growth. >> it is clay growth. ringing the bay. it has been a goal for a long time in the bay area. that is right around the corner.

it has been a long time coming. it has grown up and become as the bay area has grown up so has bart. > the next step is how and to the central valley? >> we will see about that the core of the next step is to continue our development in all the stations. bo going to talk about this at the station and improve our service. >> the question of service is a lot of what bart comes down to because people now have options more than ever before. a lot of the infrastructure we have seen here is not exactly what we call modern. it is not falling apart. are we keeping it up? >> it is functional appeared at is quite functional. there are three decisions i make on a daily basis. improving service. no more missed trades per cleanliness of the system. it is getting a presence in the system. ambassadors, crisis intervention, sworn officers on the trains and in the stations.

>> one of the things said about bart is there is no other system like it. it is so unique that your cars, trying to order new cars is difficult because the track size on bar is difficult -- is different than any other mass transit. how much of a curse has that been? >> i don't know about a purse but it has been challenging. it has been hard to get spare parts. the cars we are retiring right now, we are using those prayer parts to keep the fleet running. right now half the fleet in the system you see out there is new cars. as new cars come on board, it is a game changer. >> another game changer is the definition of bart. we started out as a computer -- a commuter line. most recently you guys have gotten into the housing and development business. right over here we have an apartment building on bart land on what used to be a bart

parking lot. they're kind of controversial but they seem to be going up at all of your stations. >> it is a major push in the bay area. u.s. wide, development at transit stations. we are leading that. there is no agency in the u.s. more progressive on development around the stations. right here, market rate housing and the next piece is affordable housing should >> there was a time when people would say live next to a bart station and you commute into the city and you don't have a car. now people don't have to live near the city. they don't have to commute to the city. you think people in the future want to live in something -- i have to be honest with you as plain looking and ugly as that? >> i will take exception at the ugly part but when we are building these things, people are wanting to lose them. they want to live there. from a supply demand, there is no shortage of demand of folks willing to live at developments

around the bart station. >> one of the challenges bart has faced is definition of destinations. is it taking people to work or is it creating offices for people to go to? maybe we should have places like this be a destination for offices. >> i think it is both. the agelong discussion is what kind of a system is part shared is it urban -- is bart? as it urban? is it suburban? we are a high blade -- a hybrid. we can pivot we can be flexible. >> a year or so ago this parking lot would have been packed. it would have been packed with people because it was an alternative to a freeway that was all backed up. now that freeway is running smoothly. it is taking a toll on a ridership. that also takes a toll on your money because you are dependent on these riders paying the

bills. can bart survive without going to the taxpayers and saying we need a special tax? >> our fiscal cliff and our federal support ends july of 2025. so if we need a measure, we have to start having that discussion regionally right now. >> do see something going to the ballot saying more toll money or -- how would you tax? >> the how of that and how broad that tax is, how many counties, that is for the elected officials with input from me and other general managers. i think something, kind of original measure is going to be needed. >> in 1965, you launched the great transbay tube tunnel. it was quite an event. it is still there. what kind of shape is it in? >> the tunnel is in excellent shape should we are finishing up

>> another bake crossing. that is seriously on the table? >> that is being looked at now for sure. what is in there is these infill stations. people asked me where might be a good place for infill stations. it could be south of lake merritt in oakland. san antonio neighborhood area. a couple other locations. that is all being looked at as part of 121. >> great conversation with the bart general manager. obviously we are talking about 21 -- about link 21. how are we going to get all the way to monterey? >> kind of slowly to be honest. what we have here, rail lines from monterey to sacramento expanding on their own. we have high-speed rail coming in from the central valley eventually. moves being made to increase the train that comes in from the

central valley over the ultimate costs to include -- the altamont pass to include stockton. trains up to sacramento. how can you incorporate them into bart? possibly with the trans bay station in san francisco. what we have is an ambitious plan that would in court -- that would involve what they are our calling the make a bart, the mega bay area. 21 counties. to plan and to use and to help pay for. bar and other transit systems in part because we are still hurting from the pandemic. >> ambitious plans obviously. thank you very much. you can stream the entire bart 50 years special on the abc 7 bay area streaming tv app. it is a valuable on-demand -- it is available on demand under the new and popular section. >> a historic moment today in
