The extension to San Jose is much more progressive than anything we've seen in New York in many years.Given BART's current operating characteristics, it's far more prudent to develop the existing Capitol Corridor Amtrak trains and turn that into a usable service with more frequencies and higher speeds than to replicate a rather expensive network that seems to be far more concerned about dominating the entire Bay Area's transit needs. I'd like to see BART become compatible with Caltrain sometime soon though. That only would have happened back during the planning phases during the late 1950s and 1960s had they gone with 25kV @ 60hz electrification and normal gauge infrastructure. |
