bridge, san mateo bridge, and richmond son raphael bridge to name a few. lawmakers are looking to make up a $2.5 billion deficit. larry: lena howl digging into the proposal, and how much is going to cost you. >> it will increase tolls by $1.50 over a five-year period. reporter: lawmakers agreed to build out struggle -- struggling transit agencies across the state. state senator scott weiner says it is still not enough. >> we need to do some regional self-help. reporter: he's proposing a new bill that would raise the tolls on all bay area bridges, except the golden gate by $1.50 for the next five years. but keep in mind tolls at these bridges were already scheduled to increase by one dollar in january, 2025. >> that will generate a significant sum of money to make sure bart does not have to
4:01 pm
eliminate nighttime and weekend service or an entire line. to make sure muni dozens eliminate 15 bus lines entirely. >> i'm reminded of the quote, for me once, shame on you, for me twice, shame on me. i've seen this story before. reporter: he opposes the plan and says lawmakers were already asked to increase bridge tolls back in 2018, with the promise of having effective oversight of transit agencies. including creating the office of inspector general of bart. >> since that time, they've limited the power of oversight of that office. they are coming back to us now saying after breaking their promises, that we should have raised the tolls and trusted them that they would do the oversight and i don't. reporter: something people we spoke with our split on. >> i would like to see more accountability if we are moving forward with additional tolls. reporter: how would you feel about spending more and tolls to cross a bridge? >> i feel pretty bad.
4:02 pm
i feel like it's already expensive. reporter: senator weiner says there is accountability already. built into this proposal. on the porch and a set aside for the most important issues to transit riders, safety, cleanliness, and reliability. >> we want constituents to be able to get to work, school, the doctors appointment, the senior center? it is in no one's interest eliminate weekend or nighttime bart service. ama: some are already coming. tolls go up at the golden gate bridge this saturday, july 1. fasttrack is going from $8.75. golden gate ferry fares will also go up by $.25. it is part of a multi-year to increase program improved -- before the pandemic in 2019.
4:03 pm
larry: caltrain was going to increase fares on saturday, but it's put them on hold because it is still trying to get more riders back on board. the current 20% monthly pass discount will remain in place through the end of the year. joining us now to talk more about transit funding is insider phil matier. as we begin here, scott weiner keeps talking about the fiscal cliff. what led us to this and is it mostly pandemic related or other factors? >> just take a look at mass transit these days. the thousands of riders once took mass transit have opted not to right now. particularly prevalent in bart. they are only at 40% where they were pre-pandemic levels. muni is at about 66%. other agencies are at different percentages. but all are below. one of the reasons is people don't feel like the system is
4:04 pm
clean or safe. there finding other ways to get to work. a lot of the times, that means more people on the roadways. but that's what people are doing right now. and that has contributed to this fiscal cliff. another thing is the rising of these various transit agencies. it doesn't match what they are bringing in. to be quite honest with you, part of the problem is people are just not paying to ride. they are writing for free -- riding for free and the system is yet to make any changes on that. larry: we've done a series of reports showing in plain sight people just refusing to pay when they get on muni. rather than having all of us pay to make up the gap, how about actually enforcing what people are supposed to be paying? >> when you ask, when are they doing it? they say we don't have the money right now to hire those inspectors, but in a couple of years we will be out there.
4:05 pm
we will make the gates harder to jump over and not pay. but this is an immediate problem. while we are talking about who is riding and things like that, they are looking at the bay area and saying, do you really need 27 different transit agencies? that's 27 directors of these agencies making hundreds of thousands of dollars in administration. how about we change the way we operate right now, in order to make it more efficient? that's not something we are going to be hearing about right now. we hear about the clip. what created the clip. down ridership come up costs -- down ridership, up costs. we are talking about 950 bridge tolls at a time where we are hearing talk about, what is it going to take to bring people back to san francisco? a $9.50 toll is not going to be the ideal enhancement to get people to come into the city.
4:06 pm
which brings us to the politics of this. you will notice many people backing this are from san francisco and the peninsula. while people on the east bay and other regions are a little more standoffish. that is simple politics. it is the people out in the suburbs, in he east bay -- the east bay that pay the tolls to cross the bridges, while san francisco benefits from the money. larry: what is the next step of the process? >> trying to get two thirds of the legislator to go along with it and getting the governor to sign it. could be tough. sacramento's not crazy about raising taxes or tolls. there is this back and forth between who is paying it and who is benefiting from it. the governor would also like to see changes in the system's overall management, to make them more efficient before putting more money into it. it's going to be an interesting proposition. one that is coming out now. it's also interesting this came from lawmakers. , transit agencies. this was lawmakers --
4:07 pm
not a transit agencies. this was lawmakers saying, we need to do something. larry: from a political standpoint, you know this is going to be wildly unpopular. >> it is unpopular, but if you actually look at the figures about who uses the bridges, it is only about 10 or so percent of the morning commute. people are going in all different directions using all different means to get there. the people that cross the bridges, they are an easy target. voters have approved increases in the past. not so much this dramatic one. -- of one. when it comes to those that pay, they are not necessarily the ones i get the say and what happens. larry: maybe this is just a trial balloon where you propose $1.50 but you are willing to settle for $.50 or $.75. is that a possibility? >> anything is possible. what they are trying to do is come up with any kind of money. and it is tough to get them out of people right now.
4:08 pm
in 2026, even if this goes through, they are going to come to us and say -- their transfer may be a sales tax increase or some other operators going. even if they survive this, to keep the trains and buses rolling on an even keel, they are still going to need the money. larry: cap wait. [laughter] thank you for your insight. ama: pride celebrations along with a giant series helped boost public transit numbers across the bay area this weekend. it was the busiest sunday since the pandemic began. it locked more than 140,000 riders. a 6000 increase from pride in 2022 and more than double tree but ridership projections for a sunday in june. san francisco bay fairy also posted big numbers for crossings on saturday. there were more than 7000 passengers. that went up to more than 5300 on sunday.
