We’re going to have the joy of BART in San Jose real soon. The $2.3 billion, 10-mile construction project from Warm Springs in South Fremont to Berryessa Road in San Jose is underway. Just look what we have to look forward to.
For years, I thought a BART extension to San Jose from San Francisco would run down the Peninsula. The current route is like flying from San Fran to LA via Denver and Phoenix. It’ll take you the better part of a day to get to San Fran from SJ on BART. What a colossal waste of money. But nowhere near as wasteful as the Light Rail extension to Los Gatos which will carry on average 10 passengers. Or the $1.6B tunnel “Central Subway” tunnel project that runs all of 1.7 miles in San Fran.
You’d think California was running a surplus and the population was growing with all these transit projects underway.
I was on an SF bus one day (#30 route through Chinatown) when a woman got on carrying a live chicken in her arms. The driver told her she couldn’t bring a live chicken onto his bus. So...she just broke the birds neck and took her seat.
