Experts discuss how Bay Area transit has gotten more integrated over past few years

OFFICIALS FROM THE regional transportation planning agency Metropolitan Transportation Commission joined with the public policy nonprofit SPUR on Wednesday afternoon at a panelist forum in San Francisco to discuss the progress made to streamline public transit and what the future holds. 

Three years after the MTC created the role of a regional network management director, a position that looks at the entire transit system and works with public transit agencies to help improve efficiency and rider experiences, transit experts at the panel said traveling has gotten faster and cheaper despite challenges they have faced.
