Can someone remind me the purpose of Dumbarton Rail? As I recall from an E-mail conversation with one of the Dumbarton Rail study staff, the primary purpose of...
I believe ACE wants to provide Dumbarton Rail service. How many folks really commute from Stockton to San Francisco is the question. With the lack of direct...
I may be mistaken, but I understand that Caltrain has an agreement to be the operating agency for Dumbarton Rail initially. This is on the supposition that the...
Good point! I failed to take that into consideration. I can only guess at this time that there are enough riders going to and from. However, a definite...
Someone from my other group mentioned this as well, I will forward the messages amongst all groups. -Zakhary Michael Kincaid <mkincaid@...> wrote: I may be...
Here is the forwarded message and my response that I provided to it. This has been forwarded to SCVTARU, as well, for a second reading in the hopes that...
Might both providers be providing the service? one north and one south? I guess I wiull find a absolute answer at the Regional Rail Forum meeting. -Zakhary ...
True. More riders from broader areas will need more options and sufficient ones. -Zakhary Yeoh Yiu <squid@...> wrote: ... Dumbarton would also drive up...
Has there yet been an Enviromental Study process done on the project. As I mentioned in a previously sent message, EPA residents are begining to complain...
I was unaware that ACE had plans to run a Dumbarton corridor service. It's certainly possible, but I suspect it would happen longer term. I don't think it's...
The EIR and market demand study has not happened yet, but it will begin soon. The EIR process does take all of these factors into account; however, at the risk...
Bay Rail members, This message was forwarded to SCVTARU mebers for their input. -Zakhary Michael Kincaid <mkincaid@...> wrote: To: bayrail@yahoogroups.com ...
Hi all, I'm surprised there still hasn't been much debate regarding the plan to extend BART to San Jose. Upgrading current Capitol Corridor or ACE service (by...
yes, Haywood, there are, and that's why BayRail Alliance exists. www.bayrailalliance.org We encourage you to attend the forum sponsored by TALC and AS ...
I have had my battles with my other group, Santa Clara VTA Riders' Union, which Margaret is a member of as well. I will try to leave my stance simple, but...
... A few points: I'm not sure how BART's lack of express service capability fits into your contention that it would provide the fastest travel times. Are you...
I forgot to mention that another condition of mine is that any service extension needs not to effect current service or its passengers via fare increases,...
As far as thew transfer, there will be no transfer. San Francisco and Richmond trains will be extended to San Jose as an entire line. I will be able to go...
... do you have a source for this? I seem to remember a while ago it was decided that there would be a transfer at Fremont, but I can't find it now, so my...
The whole express capability thing, I don't know enough about. 5-10 minutes in any case, seems like a lot in comparison to how long the actual route was....
... I understand your point, but I still don't see what actual travel markets are served by combining the services. If the Capitols frequency were enhanced and...
Michael I think you/we can save ourselves some trouble by simply suggesting that Zakhary (and others sharing his opinion) read this information on the BayRail...
I second the comments from "responders" to the original letter (Yes on closing station, no on the fare hike). Frankly, I am against the fact that it costs...

You are absolutely right - a single provider is several years away. However, I believe we should do what we can today to begin reaching towards that goal. I...
As the other members of the bayrail group will attest, I'm a chronic underachiever who gave up on setting high standards for myself long ago. So instead, I set...
Hi Zakhary, Firstly, funding the BART extension would remove funds from much needed local service, so that would break your first assumption. The BART...
