A good indicator that the political winds have shifted

ON FRIDAY, THE CHRONICLE'S SENIOR METRO/STATE COLUMNIST startled us with a column headlined as follows:

Metro can't let rail jeopardize its buses

The pro-establishment newspaper is a little late to the party (METRO has been cutting bus service and losing riders for quite some time, even though the 2003 referendum promised a 50% increase in bus service), but we welcome them nonetheless.

It's a shame they haven't been a more forceful advocate for area transit users over the last decade, though.
