BART has pushed back its opening at SFO 6 more months, until the fall of 2002.

And BART may start charging for parking, out of fear that people might actually use the new extension to go to the airport:

Well I guess everything gets delayed at SFO these days - BART, terminals, planes....

Why does it always feel like pulling teeth to get the local authorities to understand the point of airport links? In Boston, where our link is relatively poor, the authorities always worsen the situation--unanticipated subway transfers, for example. Now at SFO, the BART is delayed, and may be delivered without parking for its customers. This link is meant to encourage the mass transit paradigm. That means people leaving their cars somewhere - an intermodal lot is one of the more obvious places. Let's build parking garages at the stations if that is what we need. Hundreds of thousands of new passengers are using this airport, like every other airport in the country. They need a way to get there. Unless we want more traffic and parking at the airport, we need to allow for it at the terminal points of the transit links.
