That's good news. I hope the shuttles will first expand their hours and then expand the number of routes. Instead of 10AM to 6PM I'd love to see 6AM to 8PM.

Given the traffic congestion that accompanies the concerts at Shoreline, has any consideration been given to busing concert attendees from the MV train station lot to the amphitheatre and back?

Interesting that this was published right after the article on the civil grand jury report re: VTA. $2M for 200k riders makes a $10 subsidy per rider, just like VTA, but for shorter trips.
