It seems like these guys are relying on there being zero traffic in the dead of night to deliver these travel times. How feasible would it be to drive from San Jose to San Francisco in an hour and a half during the day?
Disclosure: I don't live in California, and I have no idea. I only just looked up the schedule from Caltrain.
- pkaye 12y agoDriving takes <1 hour without traffic. Could take >2 hours at peak commute hours.
- mikeknoop 12y agoSuggestion #2 is probably feasible outside of the core commute hours -- which is inline with constraints because Caltrain runs trains more frequently during commute hours already (ie. this service is not needed then).
- coev 12y agoI've done 101 from SF to SJ in about 40 minutes at midnight. Multiply that by 3 for rush hour.
- keehun 12y agoOk so they've already really factored in all the time for all the stops and the inevitable delays... Wow, then my question is... why is the train so slow!
- strager 12y agoThe train makes many more stops.
- joshAg 12y agothere are three level of trains. baby bullets go from san jose to sf in about an hour with very limited stops. there's local express which have more stops than baby bullet, but don't stop at every station (gross oversimplification). And then there's the trains that stop. at. every. single. s.t.a.t.i.o.n.
