Announcement display aboard #Caltrain this morning. Embarrassing, but not nearly as much as having the whole OS crash.

Commuting on the train to Sunnyvale and it unexpectedly hit the brakes and came to a stop, and someone muttered really loud "Suboptimal!" and I guess my point is that #siliconvalley is just weird. #sfba #commute #caltrain

BART supporters need 186,000 signatures by June. Will Hunky Jesus and $7-a-gallon gasoline get them there?

Last week’s BART column elicited a fair few arguments against a BART rescue measure. They made as much sense as carpeting on a train.

For the San Francisco Bay Area, a question:

Do you want functional transit
OR
gridlock?

Sign the petitions to put the transit funding measures on the ballot
& Vote for them

Or spend an extra hour or 2 in traffic.

Your choice.

#caltrain I used Caltrain yesterday and notices that the powers that be had put up a poster near the door. Unfortunately, they were rather clueless: they put it on a glass partition that you have to be able to see though to see the digital display that indicates the next stop. The picture below shows it almost completely hiding the display from where I was sitting.

I'm going to San Rafael on theater business today, and taking transit. Starting from the #RedwoodCity #CalTrain station.

On a historical note: this building doesn't look like much but it predates #CalTrain; it's been here since the #SouthernPacific was running the commute trains.

Came down to #RedwoodCity #CalTrain this morning and saw this.
I guess the city prefers no station at all to the possibility of unhoused folks sleeping in it. Sheesh.
Just in time for the rainy season, too (when I might actually want to go in there).
