»In which Caltrain hits the mark, again
Caltrain commuter-rail service is expanding services again. Caltrain, unlike many other of the twenty-odd Bay Area transit agencies, focuses effectively on their bottom line. They realised last year, with the introduction of the Baby Bullet service, that they had hit on something that made extremely effective use of resources: each train was filled to capacity. The trains fast and on-time; and they are a cost-effective alternative to driving (and to other public transit services!).
... and one of the newly-added trains leaves San Francisco southbound at 9 AM. Suits me fine!
