There are some rail options for those commuting from Stockton: - The Amtrak San Joaquins train (https://www.amtrak.com/san-joaquins-train https://www.amtrak.com/san-joaquins-train) connects Stockton with Richmond, where passengers can transfer to BART. - For those headed to Silicon Valley, the Altamont Commuter Express runs from Stockton to San Jose (https://acerail.com https://acerail.com) I'm looking forward to the California High Speed Rail project being completed. This will make a commute from places like Merced, Madera, and Fresno much more feasible. Currently it's possible to drive from San Jose to Fresno in less than three hours; the bullet train will likely cut the duration of this trip by half. I agree with you; it would be nice to see some nice transit-oriented developments spring up around train stations in the Central Valley.
