Or, alternatively, you could pump all that money into the Caltrain electrification project which runs roughly along the same route between the exact same destinations.
I do, however think a road diet on El Camino would be nice. As someone who lives within 2 blocks, it's really unpleasant to have cross 84'+ of asphalt to get to the other side of the street. 10' traffic lanes and separated bike lanes would go a long way to making it more livable.
- greglindahl 12y agoI believe that the expected total passenger volume is higher than what electrified Caltrain can support by itself... and many trips from some point on El Camino to another point on El Camino will find the BRT to be faster.
- Patrick_Devine 12y agoI haven't seen the figures for passenger volume, but given you can more easily take your bicycle onto Caltrain than on BRT, my strong preference would be for more frequent train service. As it is, the 522 doesn't stop anywhere close to my house, so would require biking to a stop. I believe the BRT stops are the same as the 522?
