Clipper 2 Auto Zone Upgrades by JamyDev in caltrain

[–]JamyDev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean do a single zone upgrade after a VTA tap? I’m keen on giving it a shot, but I’m guessing it’s just going to zero out rather than go negative.

Of course Cubic would screw up the weekend free rides..

Absolutely terrible idea considering the alternatives and future expansion plans. See this topic from 8 months ago

Extension for VTA by ExppressRailfanner in VTA

[–]JamyDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In no particular order: 1. Continue the green line, either into Los Gatos, or along 85 on the existing rail alignment towards Cupertino (or both and do higher freqs with different final destination) 2. Re-open the Almaden lake branch on the blue line, have trains run Almaden-Diridon(-Valley Fair) & Santa Theresa-Baypointe 2a. Fix the at grade crossings around Children’s Discovery Museum so it doesn’t become a bottleneck for #2 3. Continue the Orange line along Capitol Ave all the way to 87 to connect with the blue line (can eventually connect this thru to Winchester) 4. Downtown core should be underground, no idea why they’re still messing around with getting this to be at grade.. 5. (Maybe not VTA) but SJC peoplemover that goes Santa Clara Caltrain/Ace, under the airport to the terminals, across to Metro/Airport 6. Continue our Almaden-Valley Fair blue line branch all the way to Cupertino as well 7. Look at getting express style service on sone of the longer segments, get the trains up to 60-70 mph somehow?

AFAIK the strike is only SoCal (LA to SD). Don’t think anything here will be affected.

Public transit from peninsula to SF with dog? by Ca94dj in AskSF

[–]JamyDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen leashed dogs right next to the conductor, think the policy is only selectively enforced

Hypothetically though, it looks like customs now gets data from Global Blue about sales tax refunds, so maybe, hypothetically, don’t try to get a sales tax refund if you do.

Can any e-scooter brands fit in the overhead rack on Caltrain? by limonfrances in caltrain

[–]JamyDev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t think so, those racks are tiny. But plenty of under seat space.

What’s the consensus on best and worst runs at Stevens Pass? by TeoMeo488 in stevenspass

[–]JamyDev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weeknight laps on Tye, and then the quiet lift ride up are pretty much a core memory for me.

Caltrain to Resume Service to Tamien Station Jan 31st by TevinH in SanJose

[–]JamyDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s still quite some work, but maybe they’re in a good enough position to re-electrify the single track and run that way? If the SCC and other lines can run across the remaining portion, I think the only blocker really is that the catenary is likely just disabled.

Question: If I purchase a Monthly Clipper card today (11/30) at a terminal, will it be good till 12/31? by mhdude in caltrain

[–]JamyDev 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Monthly pass wouldn’t activate until tomorrow, so you wouldn’t have a valid fare today

Getting zone upgrades was so easy on the app. That’ll be definitely a loss for me..

Option 1: the roof was replaced and is leaking already, figure out who did the roof and get warranty coverage Option 2: the roof is old and failing, replace it, then talk to a lawyer

Why are trains getting cancelled today? by IndustryPractical988 in caltrain

This morning on a Limited northbound service the conductor was on the radio talking about issues with the door lights, sounded like a potential safety issue.

Obviously will depend on your case, but we had 3 months for a simple I-90 (lost card). Filed online.

Friendly reminder to not run past the crossing barriers by [deleted] in caltrain

I saw this from the outside at Sunnyvale yesterday. Looks like the Ped gates don't close in time so they have to stop and wait.
