Uhh, shoveler … I just finished checking the Altamont Corridor Express webpages:

The train takes 2 hours, 12 minutes to get from Stockton to San Jose and vice versa. And it has nine quick stops and NO STOP LIGHTS and NO TRAFFIC JAMS to contend with. So the trip HAS to take ~3 hours in a car.

A rider has four chances to catch it in the am in Stockton and four chances to catch it going home in the evening. If they want to come and go at any other part of the day or run some errands at lunchtime, they are SOL.

It costs a SV worker who lives in Stockton $345.75 for a monthly pass! $345.75!! WTF!

I can get all the way to flyover country and back for a little less than that … using mid-grade gas. That’s a 3500+ mile round trip, folks.

WOW … ’nuff said. Hope your worker-bee “friends” who moved out to Farmville are having a nice life!
