Yeah, Capitol Corridor is great! I wonder what it would take to convert a bunch of those folks who jam up 80 and 680 every day into riders ... I suppose it’s more complicated than just moving the right-of-way and stations into the more populated areas.

But the massive crush of traffic at commute time is another story... The observation was really about freeways being built on valuable land taken under eminent domain by the state while passenger rail is mostly relegated to being a second class citizen on freight routes laid out 150 years ago.
