Public transit is facing significant challenges, yet students, particularly at UC Berkeley, are advocating for and investing in better transit options. Starting this upcoming fall, UC Berkeley students will pay an annual fee of $229 for a BayPass that provides access to multiple transit agencies, significantly improving transit options compared to a prior pilot program. This initiative not only helps students save money but also ensures vital funding for local transit systems, fostering a culture of public transit use among young riders for years to come.
"Students [will] save a median of $58 per month for all their transit needs... students will use the all-you-can-eat pass frequently because they typically live further from campus."
"It is a mutually beneficial product, It can build a lifelong ridership that agencies can count on for the next few decades."
