Not sure that a BART / Caltrain merger will solve all of the issues (New York has the “merged” MTA but the Subway, LIRR & MNR don’t exactly feel integrated and the City / State wrangles still pollute the whole thing) but it might improve things – my one experience of trying to use Caltrain, admittedly outside commuter peak hours, left me baffled that anyone would ever rely on it so I was a bit surprised by the subtext of the piece that Caltrain is better run than BART, which always seemed pretty good to me as an occasional SF visitor.
