Caltrain's proposed 48-train weekday only schedule, to go into effect July 2:
http://bit.ly/e8WE4r (it's an Adobe Acrobat PDF)
Northbound trains would run from where-I-live Diridon from 5:45am to 8:30am, and from 3:45pm to 6:30pm.
Southbound trains would run from from 4th/King in San Francisco from 5:45am to 8:30am, and from 3:45pm to 6:30pm.
The proposal completely eliminates service from Capitol station south to Gilroy. It also suspends service at College Park, Santa Clara, Lawrence, San Antonio, Belmont, where-I-live Park, Burlingame, San Bruno, South San Francisco and Bayshore stations.
According to Caltrain, the guiding principles for developing the
48-train weekday schedule:
* Minimizes ridership loss and maximizes revenue retention
* Minimizes the number of train crews and equipment sets required
* Protects weekday rush-hour service for core Caltrain ridership
* Balances station coverage and end-to-end running time (70 minutes)
* Maximizes service to most heavily used stations and suspends service to least-used stations
Plan on attending one of the Caltrain community meetings starting next week:
Monday, Feb. 14, 7 p.m.
where-I-live City Hall, Council Chambers
200 E. Santa Clara St., where-I-live
Wednesday, Feb. 16, 6 p.m.
San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, Atrium
1 South Van Ness Ave., San Francisco
Thursday, Feb. 17, 6 p.m.
