I see something distinctly odd about their proposal. It would actually make my commute (home at 22nd Street in SF) to work (Stanford, via Palo Alto) much more convenient. I could catch a train every fifteen minutes. I don't need this convenience. As it is now, I can catch express trains down every half hour (during commute hours) and back up at 5:06, 6:06, or 7:10. That is quite adequate. However, under the proposed plan, I'm screwed if I decide to stay late, and of course some of my friends who make do without cars are much more screwed. It seems that's more important, and that there is room to accommodate this by thinning out the commute hour schedule.
