The new caltrains are excellent. When is the last time anyone used that word for American public infrastructure.
I can't rave enough. It's the most 'futuristic' public infrastructure experience I've had in the US. It's not perfect. It took its time getting built, the wifi can be choppy and frequencies should be better. But I prefer optimism. The new trains getting becoming crowded, and I'm smiling ear-to-ear. People are actually buying in !
Here's an Hindi saying : "Der aaye durust aaye" (Translated as : Let it be late, as long as it's well built.)

- hansonkd 2y agoMy favorite thing is the "silent terminal" concept. Most major airports if you arrive groggy at 5am waiting for your flight, you are blasted with a bunch of nonsense announcements that have nothing to do with your flight every 2-5 minutes "Keep your baggage with you at all times" "The USO is located...", etc. and in between the announcements loud music gets played. Trying to find a location away from a speaker is no good because there are speakers in the ceilings about every 10ft in a grid. It surprised me when i visted SFO terminal 1 how much a quality of life improvement it is to just have silence in a public place.
