Caltrain will operate a new weekday schedule that will align better with new BART schedule at Millbrae; provide faster local trains in the evening; increase Gilroy service with a fourth round trip train; and temporarily adjust service to/from Tamien Station to accommodate midday work on the Guadalupe Bridge Rehabilitation Project, starting Sept. 25.

Caltrain will continue to run its highest ever level of service, with 104 trains every weekday.

What’s the thinking here? Throw more good money after bad? Caltrain’s ridership has decreased considerably and is nowhere back to pre-COVID days yet there’s a complement of 104 trains running every weekday? If ridership is at, say, 50% of normal, why wouldn’t we reduce trains by 40%, instead of having half-filled trains on average? Is this excess service what increased bridge tolls were to be subsidizing - paying for half empty, or whatever percentage empty trains? And where’s the outrage from the greenies? Carbon emissions from 104 trains instead of 60 trains per weekday. Say no to all toll increases, gas tax increases, fee increases, etc. until the transportation sector does their fair share of fiscal management. To get greenies on board, we can highlight the reduction of excess carbon emissions due to fewer trains.
