@CaltrainAlerts @saha_suvrajit Yes this certainly isn't the first time this has happened. Especially at a station structured like MIL, it's impossible to change platforms once the train has arrived. Often the displays reflect incorrect train info too, leading to missed trains. Please try to fix these.

VTA (his client) can’t force Caltrain to up their frequency. He can only redesign what is in VTA’s control.
Jarrett said that nonnegotiable DART 20-minute rail frequency hemmed in his Dallas redesign too.

@stationmaster05 @magicaltrainman They own it. He uploaded something he doesn't own without Mattel's permission. They had full right to take it down. Lime yeah it's sad but it makes sense why they would take down reuploads of their content. And it's not as if they have gave you no opinion to watch it.

I swear transit apps are getting worse. I am going down the peninsula, and I’m literally standing inside the Mission BART station.
But neither Google Maps nor @transitapp is recommending the most obvious and straightforward solution: take BART to Millbrae, transfer to Caltrain.

@TaupeAvenger @garrett_wollman @OldUrbanist @MarketUrbanism Yeah, I really don't know specifics of Caltrain. I just know that when I am travelling in NL, taking a bike on the train doesn't seem to be a big deal. So I don't understand immediately why it's such a huge problem in SF. But I don't live there, so you maybe know better.

Henricks asks whether there is any relationship between Caltrain's service and ridership, or is that just down to Covid and the broader economic factors like telecommuting....

@alevin I drove down to Gilroy yesterday for vaccine, and was surprised how heavy the afternoon southbound traffic is already, even at 3pm. I'd have expected a lot of people to still be telecommuting. Looks like there's already potential demand for Caltrain commuting again.

@FitzTheReporter This was our issue as we looked to move within the city recently. We needed freeway/CalTrain access for work, but balancing that with access to the rest of the city is difficult. We figured it out, but it will make commuting by public transit much less convenient.

@MarketUrbanism @techoflash_ @asmallteapot @woolie I agree, mainly b/c of the latter. Caltrain is still too dependent on park & ride for people outside its walking catchment. Toronto is no model of TOD (it’s trying to change that), which is currently an issue for GO, which is also quite park&ride dependent unlike the subway

The consolidation of @Caltrain and @SFBART is sensible to me. These are both regional #transit operators who serve similar travel markets/clientele -- and have increasingly similar operating characteristics.

"Polling found 83% of respondents support combining BART and Caltrain into a single integrated system."
This feels pretty meaningful.
As @Caltrain studies how to fix its governance this year, the message from riders is clear.

@_Dharmabum_ I was working at @sharethrough, at the time (2010) a small video advertising firm in downtown SF, and a co-worker got tickets through some startup connection of his, so we rode the CalTrain down to Palo Alto and went. It was probably < 200 people.

@MrsMcWotw @SarahJ_Berry The problem with that is, to a first approximation your bike is never allowed on the train :/
Either you have to pre-book it three days ago, or there's only two spaces, or it's not allowed at any useful commute time
Weirdly, @Caltrain does this better than every UK rail company

@MattNoahSmith @mattyglesias Caltrain serves the best corridor down the Peninsula in part because these cities developed around the railway, so their downtowns line up with Caltrain. The 280 corridor is not dense, would be ****to redevelop and is not favorable to transit.
