Caltrain JPB Agenda for tomorrow.
Possible Additional Service/Other includes a preliminary projection of $375,000 for an
additional 6 trains effective September 1, 2012
This would be *sweet*. I am guessing 2 RTs added to traditional peak and 1 for reverse peak. The trains are getting really full not to mention it adds even more choices and frequency. And a lot of extra bike capacity to rush hour, probably an extra bullet to Palo Alto.
Please email to comm...@caltrain.com and tell them what a good idea you think this is.

yes, this is a year. When they cut 4 trains last time it was something like 250k - chump change - but it really f'd up my life by eliminating train 236 - the "oh man am I being a slacker and missed the last bullet but at least there is a limited" or "FML I got bumped off the bullet".
Adding these trains is just labor and fuel + some extra maintainance.
More trains than that and you're starting to need additional trainsets which actually starts to cost money, but really even with that it is not very much money to have Caltrain running trains every 15 minutes midday, which turns it from commuter rail to mass transit. Might happen someday.

Yes it wasn't obvious to him that bart was intercity, as it is frequently used intracity (in fact, that's how he was using it). I did explain though.
