Dreaming A Second Transbay Tube To San Francisco — ABC 7 News

The San Francisco Bay Area’s population and job centers are famously divided by the bay itself, with jobs and housing on the San Francisco side accessed by commuters to the east via the Bay Bridge or the transbay BART tube.

But such a project will be critical for long-term sustainable mobility in the region.
