Posted by WillD on Mon Mar 19 20:23:01 2012, in response to Re: PHOTOS: CALTRAN CALTRAIN IV, posted by Jersey Mike on Mon Mar 19 14:25:52 2012. I'm opposed to turning commuter rail into rapid transit like Will would like to see happen.Except that it's not becoming rapid transit any more than the NEC is rapid transit. It will still be commuter rail, just commuter rail that is significantly improved from the passenger's standpoint. Even if we were to accept your ludicrous premise, then why is that a bad thing? You have singularly failed to make the case that there would be a significant increase in operational costs which Caltrain has thus far not accounted for. No comfort is being sacrificed by going to the UIC EMUs and indeed they'll provide significantly more convenient service on a budget far more economical than a BART or LRT extension. |
