It's a shame, because I found the service to be quite reasonable - even with the problem of an overheated bus (they needed a replacement bus out in Buttonwillow, but they had one within an hour). Maybe I'll try the Vietnamese bus the next time I head south.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11021719.post-56894433639594532772008-05-21T13:40:00.000-07:002008-05-21T13:40:00.000-07:00caltrain, bart, light rail... overheating track, ...caltrain, bart, light rail... overheating track, overheating control equipment, struck pedestrians, derailed trains... delays are delays, they're all the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11021719.post-20211789052587899132008-05-21T12:01:00.000-07:002008-05-21T12:01:00.000-07:00The speed warning on Caltrain was issued because o...The speed warning on Caltrain was issued because of the concern that extreme heat could cause the rails to buckle due to heat expansion. All rail systems are affected.<BR/><BR/>Delay on BART was more than concerns about rail buckling, but rather things malfunctioning because of the heat. Caltrain operating at 60 mph still beats BART trains stopping inside tunnels.
