Jeremiah<p>Gotta say, the new Caltrain is pretty great. It really does win out often when thinking about driving somewhere, and considering "or I could take the train". As I understand, running trains every half-hour at a minimum is a low bar by some standards, but it is a game-changer relative to what it was before.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/caltrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>caltrain</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transit</span></a></p>

Adrianna Tan<p>I haven’t taken the electric Caltrain because I was so scarred from my first year here, commuting daily with Caltrain, and its breakdowns and platform changes and poor service overall that I simply avoid them whenever possible</p><p>This changes today!

Hypx<p>This comment on theverge.com is very prescient. Caltrain's electrification process is happening at a very critical moment. The problem is that it is hopelessly expensive for what it is. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Caltrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Caltrain</span></a> likely cannot justify the cost of it, and may shut down or scale back in the near future.</p><p>Which is why <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hydrogen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hydrogen</span></a> trains keep coming up.
