separated from all grade-level crossings. It's all a matter of money. h:


And who said we were talking about my drive time? hfawk:

I'm talking average drivers... 80mph± with a long stop for gas and grub.
No BART trains do stop much more often and CalTrain also go up to speeds of 70mph. Inner city they don't go over 60mph.

weaksauce. i knew you were one of them stoppers. I don't stop when I drive up or down from LA/SF saves me easily 30-45mins.
