I have yet to see the validity of the comparison. BART runs every 15 minutes from 6 am until midnight, whereas Caltrain runs every 30 minutes and drops off to...
As I mentioned in previous e-mails, I am in support of limiting some services to San Bruno and SSF stations and feel it would be good for the passengers too....

Why is it necessary to do this with BART (grade seperate and fence), but not other providers. Caltrain several times annually is used for the commiting of...

There are major technical obstacles to the idea of BART and other types of trains sharing tracks, besides the track gauge (and vertical clearances). BART's...
