In the Bay Area it's easier to create AGI than reliable, consistent, clean public transit.

Probably has something to do with that. Why on Earth are there 27 different transit agencies in the Bay Area? Probably should be a single digit, no?
They haven't created AGI either, they're just applying the CADT development model to money.
One of these doesn't require a multi-decade approval process for good reason. (Figuring out the logistics and civil engineering planning is a real thing and building it out isn't trivial) . Of course this could change
It is a plain fact that there would be more interest in public transit if it was as clean, as safe, and as reliable (if not cleaner, safer, and more reliable) than driving using personal vehicles.
The Bay Area has reliable, clean, consistent public transit right now, it's just not evenly distributed
