And a second question: Do you like the way SMART numbers their trips. Trips 1-18 are all the trips originating at the Airport trip station. Trips 19-34 are the trips originating at the San Rafael Downtown trip station.
So for example, trip 1 leaves the Airport trip station at 4:19am. Trip 18 leaves San Rafael trip station at 5:59am. Trip 17 leaves the Airport trip station at 6:49pm. Trip 31 leaves San Rafael at 6:59pm.
If you are trying to describe how to take the SMART to San Rafael I think it will be a little clunky to have to tell them to take trip 2 and then come back on trip 26. They'll think--whoa, that's a lot of trips between my trip down there and the trip back to Santa Rosa. But if you called them trains instead of trips, it seems like it would less strange.
