The Bay Area should make more use of existing ROW for a true regional rail system. Electrify and incrementally upgrade lines like Caltrain, lines to places like Monterey. Fix the cluster f--- that is the surface railway through Oakland and introduce a new transfer hub there. So on. Even with the new transbay transit center they are under building it with only 6 platforms, they should build 8. And the circuitous route they are digging for access from the existing Caltrain station makes no sense: there should be a station at 7th at instead which will provide a better transfer point for future metro lines.
