It's not their job to fix all of the problems and politics of the bay area. If they wanted, they'd be well withing their rights to just say "fuck it, you lot can drive". Long term, it'd be nice if the public transportation improved, but you know what? The haters would find something else to whine about, like public dollars going to transport workers at a huge company like Google, because they had "meddled in the political process with their fat wallet", or some such thing.
