@SJSpotlight A big problem with concerts running late is that they can miss connections to transit, unless, e.g. Light Rail or buses make special runs, and even then Caltrain shuts down pretty early. (Coldplay were talking on the radio about how they want to reduce their climate impact.)

@marcus_ismael It’s part of why I’ve always wanted a BART line down the whole peninsula. The need to transfer to Caltrain or VTA light rail just adds extra points of failure on an already long trip

@Ethan_Mizzi this is a prime example of the problem w transit in America. the answer is that it shouldn't be only operated by a single agency at all, it should be open to whichever services can meet the technical reqs of the infrastructure so @ACE_train @SFBART & @Caltrain should all use it.

@lob_revitsky @Ethan_Mizzi Yes. Billions would have to be spent on ops to get Caltrain and BART with frequencies that solve this problem. Synchronizing 5 lines and 3 service patterns at 15~20 minute headways without cascading delays is a nearly impossible problem.

@byJoshuaDavis @Ethan_Mizzi There’s nothing wrong with a transfer. It’s even cross platform. The problem is Caltrain gives zero ****s and refuses to coordinate their schedule with BART.

@Caltrain ***Fyimby @lob_revitsky @CaltrainAlerts Please fwd to Live Maps team to help fix. The Live Maps was so exciting when it launched recently because it’d help me track trains during major delays, but yesterday it was worse than nothing. Also would be nice if website station pages had same info as overhead displays

@Caltrain ***Fyimby @lob_revitsky @CaltrainAlerts I’ve found the person/team behind CaltrainAlerts to be very helpful. However, the live map was totally useless during yesterday’s evening rush hour issue. It was missing trains and had info that contradicted CaltrainAlerts (CaltrainAlerts was right).

Conductor was standing in it, looked at me mere feet away from the open door and yelled, "No!" before closing the doors shut. I gave a frustrated gesture as it pulled away, and she gave me the bird.

@seamlessbayarea @Caltrain @SFBART And if that's what you're doing, SF to peninsula, why would you get on BART at all? Just get on Caltrain at 4th and king instead. Having said all of that, yes, better announcements would be good, also having to go up and down stairs to switch vehicles is not ideal either. :)

Reported 2022-05-08 19:51:42

@seamlessbayarea @Caltrain @SFBART BART goes all the way down to Silicon Valley now though. So really what you should be doing if you're on BART is just remain on BART and go down here that way. Only reason you would go on Caltrain from BART is if your destination is the peninsula not Silicon Valley.

@GastonOlvera @icgee @SFBART @Caltrain @seamlessbayarea indeed, this is what most people would do. It's only like 20 min walk from powell BART station. That or just ride BART all the way down to East San Jose, and then go where you need to in Silicon Valley from there. :)

@seamlessbayarea @mttgza @icgee @SFBART @Caltrain There's a reason transit riders in most cities talk about taking "the train" or "the bus". The operating agency shouldn't matter. We need to de-balkanize our Bay Area transit systems, to create an integrated experience, and thinking of them as separate is part of the problem.

@icgee @SFBART @Caltrain @seamlessbayarea It’s been an issue at this station for at least 7 years, and both ways. Bart to CalTrain is worse. Ive ran over that bridge with a bike too. It feels like the Bart operators slow the approach down, or randomly stop, just to ensure you miss that once per hour southbound Caltrain.
