Can't cyclists and pedestrians take BART, AC Transit, the ferry, or the Caltrans bike shuttle to get across the Bay?

Yes, bicyclists are able to use all these modes to travel across the Bay, however, there are significant restrictions involved. For example, BART bans bikes during commute hours, when most cyclists need to get across the Bay. It also does not run past midnight.

AC Transit is limited to two bikes per bus, and the bike shuttle only runs during peak periods. Ferry service is very limited, and ferries are relatively expensive. The bottom line is, with the negligible space and energy requirements, and road impact that bikes have, it is only right that taxpayer-funded projects provide accommodation for all modes, not just motor vehicles.

Car drivers expect direct access- why should bicycle riders and pedestrians expect anything less? More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
