Stationary transit.
The City of Berkeley once again faces parking-meter vandals, surly Reinos, and cascading lost revenue, all due to its technological approach to parking enforcement.
Although this doesn't immediately fall under the rubric of "transit," the concept of spending $3.3MM to maintain $1.9MM in revenue seems ridiculous. Could the money be better applied towards incentives for the use of public transit, and towards more effective bus and BART schedules?
