COLUMN: For the past year, the ghost rider experience has been fantastic. Empty cars. Plenty of seats. You half expected a bar cart to come rollin’ by, serving Irish coffees and nibblets, with a coronavirus chaser. But like any good thing, it’s ending.
BART bliss: Cars are empty during rush hour during the height of the pandemic. For the past year, I’ve enjoyed the old tin cans. The ghost rider experience has been fantastic. Tons of free parking. Empty cars. Plenty of seats. You half expected a bar cart to come rollin’ by, serving Irish coffees and niblets, with a coronavirus chaser.People are coming back to work. Which is great. And my private chariot is starting to get crowded again.
At the height of the Bay Area’s economic boom, getting in and out of The City was essentially unbearable. You could sit in traffic, counting the minutes until your next anxiety attack. Or you could pack into the trains, counting the seconds until your next anxiety attack. Sure, the cars still stunk. Someone was usually smoking weed. There was always a passed-out individual in the back-corner seat. Sure, you still couldn’t hear your headphones through the rattle. And you never quite knew why the floors were so sticky. But it was kinda civilized. Relatively speaking.
If workers want to embrace a hybrid work model, all the better. We can work on repurposing office space to address our housing shortage.
