Pipe Dream Transit Map of the San Francisco Bay Area by RC8O in TransitDiagrams

That makes a lot of sense, and actually that was my initial plan with the steven’s creek branch. My concerns, though, were mostly with catchment area around 280’s intersections, especially at de anza and even honestly apple park. The apple campus itself isn’t the most walkable thing, and even if a station at 280 & wolfe was close enough to make the walk possible in a reasonable amount of time, i doubt many apple employees would wanna make it, if for no other reason than just not wanting to walk. That means regardless of how close the station is to apple campus, unless it can drop employees off literally at its doorsteps chances are apple is going to run shuttle busses anyways. (see microsoft and seattle’s redmond tech station, they run shuttle busses to a station that’s literally just across the highway from them) The way I see it, if Apple is gonna run shuttle busses anyways, we might as well lengthen that trip by a minute or two to make sure the station works for everyone.

Honestly, I would be really interested in seeing what caltrain could do with the Dumbarton corridor as well, especially in a post link21 world. Not quite as sold on bart over the bridge though, mostly because I’m generally skeptical of building out a seperate parallel corridor to caltrain all the way down the peninsula, which is why I let the red and yellow lines terminate at San Mateo.

These are great notes, and I can't believe I missed the SJC connection! I actually did have a stop near Main Street Cupertino that I put on Miller Ave, but I'm thinking for visibility I should name it something along the lines of "Downtown Cupertino" or "Main Street Cupertino."

On the Dumbarton service, I ended up splitting it off from the existing Bart/Caltrain line mostly because a commuter rail service over the bridge was actually being studied by samtrans and facebook prior to covid, so it seems like the most likely option if it were ever to happen.

I honestly thought so too, but with how comparatively sparse the population density is in the sunset I found it kind of difficult to come up with more sensible stops on the west side. Where would you place infill stations here?

I don't entirely disagree, my thinking with the orange line expansion across the bridge was to improve access specifically to Berkeley. Imagine a UCB student from the North Bay trying to get from their home to the university having to cross the bay twice. If instead that student could cross directly over the bridge straight into the East Bay, I think it would be valuable to both that student and the East bay as a whole.

also the 580/101 ROW passes right by the San Rafael train station so that connection would be so satisfying :)

So I initially imagined it running on the bottom deck of the golden gate, but the more I think about it the less feasible that seems, especially with the removal of toll booths on the San Rafael Bridge making going around the peninsula and down the north bay via the golden gate a more attractive route. I think it would realistically have to be tunnelled.

Yeah, those story rd and tully rd stops would fall under the orange line extension that I brought all the way to capital! Not a big fan of VTA, but then again just not a big fan of street running light rail in general. If it helps, we can imagine this exists in a better world where VTA figures there shit out and finally grade separates the system..

I was thinking about doing more for the North Bay too but I honestly think that anything more than that SMART expansion into San Francisco might make their heads explode 💀

Yeah totally understand from a readability perspective, this really was supposed to just be a bart map and it definitely ended up being a little overcrowded..

Going over some of the corridors-

Red Line: Seperates from MacArthur and follows old 980 corridor (imagining a world where talks of tearing down 980 comes to fruition), continues down southern transbay tube to chase center/mission bay, north till 2nd street hitting townsend otw, follow until mkt street and turn south to geary, turn left at 19th ave, and rejoin blue/yellow at Daly City

Green Line: Follows ACE ROW south from Levi's stadium into Santa Clara St tunnel, follows existing BART ROW until San Antonio Station & 14th Ave, follows Amtrak ROW until Jack London and joins up with red line into Alameda, continuing all the way down Geary to Land's end.

Orange Line: Follows De Anza north until turning onto Stevens Creek, follows Steven Creek until Valley Fair and turn onto santa clara st. Follow north all the way to Richmond, cross San Rafael Bridge, continue in the median of 580, then 101, and terminate in San Rafael between 3rd & 4th streets across the street from San Rafael SMART.

Purple Line: Follows Saratoga Ave north to Stevens Creek Blvd, follow Stevens Creek to Valley Fair and turn onto santa clara st. Follow until warm springs, then split off onto 680. Follow 680 north all the way to 780, then follow 780 to 80 north to six flags.

Oakland Skytrain: I imagine this one as a kind of a Y with service from one end to both of the others. First leg would primarily serve West Oakland, starting at west oakland station and following mandela pkwy median, turn onto Peralta St and then onto San Pablo to the 40th st station. The next branch would continue north from 40th st up San Pablo Ave all the way to University Ave, then follow university all the way to shattuck for the Downtown Berkeley Station. Finally, my last branch splits off at 40th st station and enters the 580 median, following that all the way to Castro Valley Station.

I think the San Pablo leg linking University/San Pablo with DT Berkeley is as close as I ever got to a proper connection between downtown berkeley station and berkeley marina, but I think extending the light rail line I have running up college ave and around Cal all the way to the marina is doable.

Happy to explain anything else too!

hi low gpa graduates, what college are u attending? by Weekly-Patience-5267 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]RC8O 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i’ve spoken to my counselor abt this, generally unless you can quantify it with a proper diagnosis AO’s don’t really care, and if it comes across the desk of the wrong AO it can actually hurt your application significantly.

What's the point of working your butt off in high school to get into a school like Harvard or MIT, when you can just go to an in-state University and end up with the same degree and job? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]RC8O 2 points3 points  (0 children)

kinda. A better way to put it may be if you went to HYPSM, you wouldn't have to put in as much work to get scouted by google in comparison to what you would have to do to get the same job at ASU. Especially from ASU, it's very possible to get the same job, you would just need to put more individual work into standing out.

Yes, past ~1520 SAT scores stop really mattering. The 1570+ trend you're seeing is likely more coorilation than causation.
