Once again an organization is taking the approach that "if it works, fix it."

I believe that commuters would be willing to pay a premium to ride the Baby Bullet. Ending the baby Bullet service is a large step backwards.

Only in the Bay Area would an agency cut the a service that is credited with drawing in more customers.

The schedule is rather San Francisco-centric. I take the train south to work, where the jobs are, not the 1950's typical north to SF in the morning.

may i suggest replacing the Board as well? seems they about to embark on an experiment to see if all the riders they picked up b/c of 'baby bullet' will be willing to stay with them if given a substitution. sounds like 'new coke' to me...

If they are going ot cut the baby bullet service, I hope they upgrade the limited express trains. I took the limited express for 2 years, it was filled to the max, dirty, and very bumpy.

I sure hope those modern new engines and cars don't get abandoned when Baby Bullet service is abandoned. Those are NICE, a pleasure to ride on, quiet and smooth, with tables to get work done during the commute.

They should cut everything EXCEPT the baby bullets.
