ARE YOU FOR REAL??? "...borrowing cars that could be pressed into service in an emergency" In other word, CalTrain bilevels through the Transbay Tunnel. Wacky is the first term that comes to mind.

Please take note, BART's broad guage decision was an engineering one based on 60s technology that held that a wider gauge would be safer and offer a smoother ride at speeds in excess of 70mph. This has since been determined to be incorrect. However, you are correct that BART is a colossal boondoggle and failure. Its a shame that the 360,000+ daily riders don't understand this and stop riding, poor misguided souls that they are.

I assume it is also true that the Capitol Corridor trains are a miserable failure. A failure that may soon be second only the the Northeast Corridor in ridership. Crappy rolling junkyards that ignorant people insist on patronizing in increasing numbers.

Come on my friend, you're 0 for 3. Its time to get out of the lineup and sit down. Get back on your meds while you're at it.
