New Oakland Transit Center Unveiled and Marred!
AC Transit kicked off their shiny new Transit Center on 20th St. Downtown. The bus pick up area features expensive new bus shelters with plexiglass. It wasn't until a few hours after the workers finished installation and the VIPs, politicos and press went home that punk thugs struck the area and vandalized the station with graffiti.
Why does Oakland even bother with such fancy public facilities when they will be ruined instantly. Notice the new fancy parking meters installed around town. They are now totem poles for taggers!
