Walmart is using a parking lot on California Avenue in Sunnyvale as a depot to let workers park their cars and take buses to store locations. It creates a lot of congestion on Mary and Mathilda.
There is a train station but limited parking nearby.
What is the [population saturation number before we become lemming?

The cities keep espousing the same things that no one wants: bus lanes, trains, traffic calming measures, bike boulevards, etc.
Way back in the 1920s, small privately run buses (jitney services) co-existed with streetcars. They can carry more people than a passenger car and have more flexibility than a bus or train. And best of all, as demand changes, the private companies can adjust to meet the needs of their clients.
How about the cities stop meddling and reduce the restrictions on creating alternative transportation modes?
