the fares, they would have to pay a separate fare for each of those separate legs. that can make it very expensive, especially if you're travelling in a group or with your family. lots of people wouldn't know how to start doing that trip and wouldn't even try. making transit seamless means information would be standardized, way finding and signage would be easy, branding would be integrated, the schedules would be aligned, and you would only pay one fare. >> yeah, i like how you're using the word easy, but tell me, is it as easy to get the legislation, to get the funding, where are we along the track, so to speak? >> so we've had some great successes in getting elected leaders on board and excited about this vision. we were fortunate during the pandemic that transit agencies and elected leaders really came together and committed to a vision of an integrated system and advancing key parts of that like integrated fares, integrated service. so there's a lot going on right now behind the scenes. we have a few pilots that customers can see, like 50,000 university student

meter increases along with fares. the intent of this charter amendment was to provide san franciscans with accountability from an elected official for the decisions that affect their everyday transportation needs and calls out exactly what happens over the course of time with the mayoral power and their influence over this process. but upon further discussion with transit advocates and a commitment from the sfmta that they would halt their original plan to extend parking meter hours and days of operation. i'm withdrawing the proposed charter amendment that would have provided mayoral accountability over the mayor. sfmta fares and increases in parking meter rates and hours. small businesses and working families need time to recover from the years of the economic crisis from covid. and i'm committed to this ongoing engagement with thoughtful conversations with san francisco on issues that affect their everyday transportation needs. so, mr. president, i would like to make a motion to table item number one motion made by

and, so, it was never a good thing that b.a.r.t was so reliant on fares. if it is not a bridge toll there are other options and we will look at other options next year. regardless of what the funding source is, we must not just sit by while b.a.r.t and other transit agencies have to start slashing service that is not in the interest of the bay area. >> all right, thank you very much, state senator scott wiener, always to get your thoughts on public transit, thank you for joining news thank you. >>> still ahead, we take a deeper dive in the issues sparking riders anxiety about b.a.r.t. >> i definitely say when you enter the b.a.r.t station at certain stops it could be really unsafe. >> you see a lot of crap on b.a.r.t. i mean. . >> and hear what they . >>> b.a.r.t on the brink. what will it take to get ridership on the anxious. a poll found 78% say they would ride b.a.r.t more often if it was safer and cleaner. wilson walker went on board to hear from them firsthand.. >> i started bringing the clorox during the pandemic. and i, i don't run out.

decisions we have made over the last 15, 18 months are starting to intercept right now and the new fare gates are online, and i just think that the experience is vastly improved, and i want to make sure that is what folks are seeing out there. >> the first of the fare gates will be installed in west oakland by years end. they plan to have them replaced systemwide by 2025. the listening tour continues next week at the embarcadero and pleasant hill stations, the tour will visit various stations through december 13th. you might complain about b.a.r.t., but have you ever imagined a bay area without it? >> reporter: the first leg of his commute from san francisco to oakland is done on two wheels. the second leg takes her underground. she has relied on bart to get her to them from work and all around the bay area for more than 10 years. >> i love the ad that shows how one train moves 1500 people. >> reporter: but in recent years, ridership hasn't came back from the pandemic lows and the transit agency that she depends on teetered on the verge of a fiscal cliff. bart managed to stay on the tra

fareed?remy diamond in tel aviv, thank you very much. >> next on "gps" i will talk to nicholas nicholas christoph who will dispel the myths of this conflict. >>> let's talk more about the israeli-palestinian conflict with nicholas christoph, columnist for "the new york times." he recently visited israel and the west bank and has been writing with nuanced and sophistication on the war, in my opinion. his latest column on the subject is called what we get wrong about israel and gaza. hi, nick. you talk about three myths, and i just want to quickly list them. the first myth is that this is a conflict in which, you know, it is absolutely morally clear all of the right is on one side and all of the wrong on the other and it's a clash between two rights. the second, you say is that the israeli myth that the palestinians issue can be strung along indefinitely and the can kicked down the road indefinitely. i want to get to the third one, though, which is one i've heard so often in recent days, partic

along with cnn's fareed zakaria the host of "fareed zakaria gps."eed, when president biden spoke just a little while ago he reit reiterated call for a two-state solution, a new state of palestine to live alongside the state of israel. are we in a political climate right now where that could even be put on the table? >> that's a terrific question, wolf, because on the one hand it seems the worst possible time to be doing it. israel is genuinely traumatized. i think they feel that their core security has been violated by an act of brutality and barbarism. on the other hand, palestinians also have lost hope because for the last 15 or 16 years these rights-wing governments in israel have built settlements, arrested palestinians, confiscated land and shown no interest in trying to partner with the palestinian authority, for example, to find some path to a palestinian state. so both sides are at a moment of great despair. on the other hand, what all this violence and the eruption of violence shows is that you can't kick this can down the road forever. tha

>> oh, boy, fareed, it is so sad. i don't think i've ever seen it just so on edge, so much -- people have lost hope. they're convinced that again that israelis only understand violence. there is no peace option down the road. that there is no trust. and in that context, i think there are some risk of explosion. i wonder whether that might extend to jordan as well given its large palestinian population. and i just really worry that the next chapter of this is going to be something -- some big crisis in the west bank. >> nick kristoff, always a pleasure. i waned to mentioned nick's efforts to identify the best nonprofits to support in the holiday season. go to kristoffimpact.org to see his list, it is on "the new york times" website as well. and next, the most important neighborhood in thisis conflict- egypt.t. when we e come back. c'mon, we're right there. c'mon baby. it's the only we need. go, go, go, go! ah! touchdown baby! -touchdown! are your neighbors watching the same game? yeah, my 5g home internet delays the ga

that are not really meeting the standard fare metric. with that, we have this resolution really urging at that time urging sfmta to remove the third party dispatch all together from this pilot program. as we continue convarsation with both stakeholders that are taxi drivers as well as sfmta, that we also realize that this could be a tool for our taxi drivers for the longrun, if, if we track the data honesty and track the data according to a way that we can understand the impact of the pilot program and perhaps we should give them after all, it is a pilot program that we should give them an opportunity to collect the data so that we can evaluate its usefulness and whether it is really supporting our taxi driver or not based on data. a year later sfmta collected about 3 quarters of report and which is all most a year. we want to evaluate and learn more about that. i had the opportunity to speak with sfmta team who is in charge with its [indiscernible] i really appreciate all her work and leadership and willingness to listen to all of us, i

>> it is great to be an the show, fareed. i think there was a general but cautious sigh of relief in lebanon after the speech on friday. because there were some who expected he would declare all out war. that is not quite how hezbollah or iran operate. my assessment from about a week after the october 7th attack by hamas on israel, was that neither hezbollah nor iran wanted an all out war. they were keen to avoid an escalation. that is the assessment that i had to speaking to era officials, and officials and including in tehran. and that is why he waited for four weeks to speak. because he had to calibrate the speech very carefully. he will to sound like a warrior, without declaring war. he had to reassure his base and explain to them why although it is not all out war and it is quite low intensing fighting there are already 50 hezbollah fighters who have been killed. and he needed to show that they were doing just enough for hamas. by keeping the israeli army busy on its northern -- on israel's northern front. crucially, he

and that return of demand, well, it comes despite rising fares for passengers.ou know, according to data from the travel website kayak, globalflight prices have risen 16% between july and september this year compared to the same time a year ago. and that's helped some airlines to record record profits. however, the airline body, iata, that's the international air transport association, says despite those higher fares, the average airline will make a profit ofjust $2.25 per passenger as the rest of the moneyjust gets sucked up by rising costs. and that's the big challenge, because in the last few months, we've seen a steady increase in oil prices. of course, that's the number one expense for airlines. there's also ongoing staffing shortages everywhere, from baggage handlers to pilots. and then there's the cost of moving towards greener aircraft. but despite the cost of living crisis, it's been leisure rather than business travel which has been feeding into this strong appetite for air travel in the post—covid world. so i've been catching up with one of the indust
