REVENUE IMPACTS
BART is experiencing an immediate loss of fare and parking revenues of approximately $39M per month (at 90% ridership decline). This revenue loss is expected to worsen and, in the event of a full-service shutdown, could reach or exceed $44M per month.

Pretty detailed analysis of revenue loss in their press release. Not looking good. Really can't make this up at the farebox when full service resumes so they clearly will need a federal bailout.
