A while back Caltrain had proposed cuts that actually gave me better commuting trains (SF to Santa Clara). Those never went through and now these are way more extreme. If this goes through I'll have to either start driving (45min to an hour each way) or move somewhere closer, and while I have that option not everyone does.
I really hope this is just a scare tactic intended to force municipalities to change the way Caltrain gets funded so it stops getting jerked around by the various counties that fund it every time they need somewhere to cut costs, even as ridership increases.
I also don't understand how places like SF can allow Caltrain to cut service to games and holiday events. I'd think that would cost them a lot of people who would go if they didn't have to drive, while in turn creating a real problem to figure out how to deal with the increased influx of all the extra cars from those who still go.
