Riders heading in and out of S.F. and to and from Peninsula still facing 20-minute waits.

-

BART riders heading in and out of San Francisco and to and from the Peninsula continue to face 20-minute delays because of electrical power problems between Daly City and 24th Street Mission stations.

The delays began during the morning commute - shortly after 9 a.m. - but are continuing into the early afternoon.

BART paid 145 train operators and station agents more than $20,000 apiece in overtime last year, and one of those employees earned more in overtime than his normal base pay, a Chronicle salary analysis found.

But work rules that contribute to high overtime pay for station agents and train operators could be changed if those workers approve a new contract today.

"Changing 'wasteful work rules' that lead to excessive overtime was one of the goals of the contract negotiations," Jim Allison, a BART spokesman, said Monday. "Management feels the tentative agreement ... meets that goal."

THE PHOenix light rail is very superior to BART in every way.
Cleaner, faster, newer... I wish BART could be like this.
