California lawmakers have reached a handshake deal that would provide more than $3 billion to bail out BART, AC Transit, Caltrain and other beleaguered transit agencies who have threatened severe service cuts as low ridership since the COVID-19 pandemic sends them toward a fiscal cliff.

Now the question is whether Gov. Gavin Newsom will back the deal with a deadline looming this week to approve the state budget.
