6:31 pm
the pandemic and a change in worker habits called working remotely and the question is now with all of that put together is will the transit center ever live up to its price tag or expectations? the answer, maybe. for years but this is the of the new san francisco, this was the place, the hub, the grand central station of the west, at least that is with the thought was, where 100,000 people a day would be walking over these murals as they went in and out of the city from here all the way to los angeles. >> that's right. phil: it does not look like it happened. >> that is still the vision. it is generational infrastructure. we are here in 2023, so we built this for the next several generations of use and we have connected it to a transit providers and we are one lot from bart and working to connect train and rail.
6:32 pm
phil: a lot of ambition and good points, but at the same time we have had the covid epidemic, remote work, retail shutdowns in the court of the cities and those mass transit you were talking about are not doing nearly the number of passengers that they were doing a couple of years ago and the projections of them doing more are pretty slim. phil: yeah -- >> question are transit operators are not expensing same ridership and not getting the same recovery. phil: so what happens when you take the masses out of mass transit? will it even survive? >> there is a real challenge for our operators in the coming years as we struggle to get to a new normal. san francisco as you know, it's an area about invention, reinvention, innovation, and continue changing. we are going through one of those change periods and it's difficult on property owners and

transit providers. phil: the transit providers have gone to the governor saying we need $1 billion a year in order not to go over the financial cliff. >> that's right. phil: so far he is saying no subject could get tighter and fewer people on mass transit? >> well one thing we have known regardless of the topic areas that change is difficult and we will go through difficult. like you describe what we need to keep investing in the future because we know that in order for people to take transit needs to be clean, regular, go where they want to go. phil: this is the bus bay where the commuter buses are supposed to be rolling in regularly, and i see one way down there. it does not exactly look like this at the hub of a lot of transit. >> this tends to be in am/pm peak use here and we have seen through work from home that the hybrid work model today is consolidating around the middle of the week, tuesday, wednesday, thursday. phil: when we opened this you have writer projections for the bus component. >> that's right.
6:34 pm
phil: how are they measuring up and what is the percentage. bart is 40% up recovered. what are you compared to where you need to be? >> yeah, we are um, we are still at a similar percentage for ridership. we have a providers of summer doing more than others but we are between 35% and 40% on average. phil: it was built with the hopes of linking san francisco to los angeles via a new high-speed rail system on the cell below the ground level and the bus ducts is a two-level train station that has been built to house a high-speed rail train and link and electrified caltrans system from the transbay tube forth in king street's but the system was fully funded trains could be stopping in and out of san francisco by 2033. >> so we are underneath the street south of market in downtown san francisco. we have about four city blocks in two stories of a completed train blocks. this was part of the long-term vision of the trans bay program

and we are walking on the mezzanine taking lever and below are three platforms in six lines for high-speed rail that will bring about 100,000 passengers here when it is complete. announcer: now from abc7 news, live, breaking news. when it is complete. right now it's in phil: the middle of the central valley and it's overbudget and there's a question about whether it will be completed. uh, and in order to complete it you also have to tunnel about two miles. >> that's right. phil: so how much will that cost? >> the downtown rail extension or what we call the portal will connect the center to the existing caltrain alignment, 77 miles to south of san jose. that will go fully electric next year, and we need to bring the last 1.5 miles, two miles of construction to get those trains here. phil: how much is that expected to cause? >> that project is $6.9 billion and un we are 75% funded and working towards a full funding grant agreement to start that construction in a little over two year's time.
6:36 pm
are signs the transit center may make it. how long do you think we can continue? i mean you have a budget here. you have to pay the bills. you have to run the electricity. are you going to have the money coming in from the drop in ridership to keep it open? >> so our operating revenues come from a couple of sources and we are happy to say that this center is almost 90% leased unjust in the last quarter we have open three restaurants and at the end of last year we opened a tap room at the park that has become quite an evening destination was so our sales tax revenues have out passed those of the rest of the city because of that activation. the activation it does rely on commuters not solely reliant on them. we also have 15,000 residents and international visitors discovering at. top of this center gives you a window on what this neighborhood has or could become. three-line pathways amid concrete and steel structures surrounded by empty offices where workers only come a few
6:37 pm
days a week, and residences for those who choose to live here. so this was the center of this until your new neighborhood that we are surrounded with that came up with this transit center that includes the salesforce tower here which is one of the new icons of the city and the other office buildings which now are at a pretty high vacancy rate. people are just not coming in like they used to. what are you going to do? >> overall san francisco's vacancy rate is higher than the rest of the nation because we have more remote-friendly industry-like tech, finance, legal, etc. phil: right. >> we are seeing vacancies from older buildings downtown into new buildings. near buildings happen to be here because this is the newest part of downtown was so some of these have a lot of activity. more so as i mentioned on the tuesday, wednesday, thursday part of the week with the hybrid work schedule. >> have you even had a full year
6:38 pm
to figure out where you stand? phil: it's interesting you pointed that out because we opened and 2018 and here we are five years later in 2023 and we have yet to have a normal 12-month period of operation. we have robust ridership and then we close for the fisher about fremont street and reopened and have robust ridership and went into a global pandemic. with the pandemic there was some hope that san francisco would reemerge to that new normal we keep hearing so much about. speaking of normal, do you foresee the date when these offices and residences here all of these are filled with workers like they were before or at one time? you ever see that they or is the world going to be tuesday, wednesday, thursday? >> i think we are in for a period of change in that period of change will not be solely office district since all the residential bedroom communities but a hybrid in both directions so the transbay tube district than most of downtown has been that vision for decades and we have 15,000 residents
6:39 pm
there today and those of the ones frequenting our park retail, and keeping it alive even with transit service lower than projected than right now, so do i see this filled? i do. i think that there will be a mix. we will have more diversity in our tax base and it won't be just one or two industries and it will have more residential and we will have more retail. i think the long-term projection in the long-term vision is still that the people want activated, walkable, beautiful robust communities, whether they be downtown or elsewhere and i think this is one of those visions. phil: now transit experts and city leaders are saying it might be two years before things get back on track the way they hope, but realistically, real estate people tell me a could be a long longer time and that is the way it is in the financial district and workers that they will come back but the keys to recovery will be diversity of jobs and mixes down there and a transit system tickets people there

safety and efficiently, something they are still striving to do. dan: yeah. ama: yeah. phil: in the meantime we spent $31 million a year keeping the lights on and keeping the place running and we will debate whether we will spend another $7 billion, yes, to connect it with the high-speed rail that may or may not arrive. dan: i can't believe it could be as long as 10 years to get real estate back there. ama: is there a way to get up easily in the meantime? phil: well the oakland a's are looking for a home. ama: there we go. [laughter] dan: thanks. phil: no, it will be interesting it is part of the challenges we have downtown and it is an opportunity, but one that will take time and money was where the other but at this time nobody is reaching deep into their wallets. dan: there isn't enough room to play baseball there. thanks. ama: coming up next, the growing anxiety over the nation's debt ceiling with dutch which

don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you're taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. it feels good to just live in the moment. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. ask your doctor about cabenuva today.
