Chronicle front page headline: "BART showing its age with shutdown".
Am I surprised ? Not at all. In my many years experience as a maintenance mechanic, I am well aware of the managment class and their scorn for providing sufficient funds to keep equipment in top operating order. They ignore problems until they become critical, then scramble about looking for money to clean up the mess.
There's an old saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". However, if you wait until its broke it may be difficult to fix.
Sufficient funds to assure proper and ongoing maintenance are always a good investment.
