Coming from the Bay Area, where CalTrain was a ghod-send - no one cares. A
commuter train rips by at ludicrous speed compared to the width of a road -
even if a stop to pick up passengers forces the train to stop across the
roadway, it's still less time than a full light cycle.
Will the new rail plans include plans for Bikes on Trains?
