The Bay Area transit agencies, including BART and Muni, are required to enhance efforts against fare evasion and improve public safety to receive a $747 million lifeline. BART has transitioned to a paperless system, and a person entering the Transbay Tube caused major delays, leading to temporary suspension of service. The disruption prompted some commuters to use alternative transportation, such as ferries.
