Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read some time ago that there is no plausible path to send a rail into SF.

- erentz 8y agoIt runs up the existing Caltrain route to King St. and later to the new inconceivably badly conceived bus station they built downtown via a curvy slow tunnel under the streets.
- martinald 8y agoYeah. Caltrain electrification is desperately needed regardless of HSR and I hope it goes ahead even with this. The current timetable is not frequent enough (I believe they were targeting 6 trains an hour each way with the electrification) and is very slow.
- Animats 8y agoA desperate attempt to save the real estate value of the existing "downtown" from the general move of "downtown" southward to SOMA and Mission Bay.

- burfog 8y agoBART exists. This isn't different. Put a couple tunnels under the bay, one just north of the bay bridge and the other at SFO. Connect them, staying safely east of the San Andreas fault. Try to route the tunnel to allow stopping at at least one of the other airports in the area. No, it isn't cheap.
