politicians should pledge to take transit 100% while they are in office.
San Jose needs to be building 10 new light rail lines right now if they're *serious* about making the city transit-accessible!
Instead, the mayor and some people on the city council want to tear the tracks out and replace them with "autonomous pods/ mini-busses." I kid you not! They just approved a line that was supposed to be VTA to be built with these nonsense gadgetbahn pod things.
If you live in San Jose then make sure to complain to your council person. They're doing some weird crap over there.
I love VTA Light Rail in Eastridge Transit Center San Jose, CA.😮
Good, this will make it much easier.
I always love VTA Light Rail in Eastridge Transit Center San Jose, CA.😮
Finally some good news! Outstanding!😎👍👩🛫🏍🏍🛫
Yes and yeah VTA Light Rail in Eastridge Transit Center San Jose, CA.❤
Get that light rail back on the freeway and get going sixty.
Leave it on the street and it takes hours to get a few miles.
VTA connected me from my home from south san jose to evergreen valley college and downtown san jose. Park and ride VTA.
I want VTA Light Rail in Eastridge Transit Center San Jose, CA.😮
now make it safer/cleaner for ppl to ride
This! I don't mind taking the light rail, but they need to make the system clean and safe if they want people to actually ride it. Ditto for BART. It used to be all bougie and clean. Now it's just another rolling homeless shelter like the bus system.
VTA is doing real transit work while Glydeway and Mark Seeger is coping with their PRT study for SJC and being “innovative”.
Yep. The mayor is extremely anti-light rail. They want to replace the entire VTA light rail network. Before he was elected he was proposing that all the time. They want to pave the tracks at great expense and replace the whole light rail system with this PRT crap.
Complain to your electeds if you live in SJ!
traffic along that vta line in essj gunna be wild the next five years while they building that
You shouldn't try to drive everywhere in such a congested region. This ain't Montana. Everybody can't just drive, we physically don't all fit on the roads. We'd have to pave most of the Bay Area for everyone to drive everywhere. It's just not possible.
@@TohaBgood2 thank you for your insight.....
This will help the community of Oakland to have greater access in San Jose
Why need 10 years to finish such a small project?
Planning, allocating specialized building tools, road closures along a main arterial road, PG&E being PG&E, oh yeah an EIR and CEQA (basically Environmental Impact Report and the California Environmental Quality Act). Oh right and the Cato Institute tried their damndest to block the project, NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) people who hate progress basically.
Look at BART SV, its taken over a decade and thats just how long it took just to secure funding in a very NIMBY area.
So you get rid of the exension to Oakridge, and spend billions to go to Eastridge? NONE of this is going to matter until you have an EAST WEST service.
The Almaden line was super unused because it was planned poorly, it could come back on day and I do have a plan for that but VTA would need a lot of securities to ensure it to operate at a loss.
East-West service is definitely extremely needed to make this system truly popular. But they could still make this a very well-used system if they allowed something, anything to be build next to the stations. They need a ton of TOD and offices built on this line.
Of course, they should have planned it better before it was built. Instead of building where nobody lives and works and waiting for the development to catch up, they should have forced through the NIMBY opposition and build the system to where the people are!
But this is all sunk costs now. At this point the city just needs to work on adding TOD at all the stations and then build an East-West link. This is the only way to get our money's worth.
If we could hypothetically tear down the big box store portion of the mall and fill its empty unless park lots and garages with useful dense and affordable housing, that line would be very useful again but suburban south San Jose is stuck in 1967 -light rail operator
Cindy Chavez should’ve been the mayor of sj
A loan grant to build a vta in five years.
8 years later
Vta federal owned.
All grants are president grants.
A grant has to paid back just like a loan.
No thanks.
Not interested in the vta or transport or the people but interest in lians and grants and owning a federal transport.
Crazy.
The vta is federal owned.
Why not let google build that and avoid the loan grant and five year wait.
So nightmare traffic for the next 6 years. Should go as good as the Tully off ramp expansion.
How did San Jose get Bart before Solano County? We pay all that money in bridge toll to commute to the City everyday. How many ppl in SanJose are actually working in the City everyday?
Solano and Marin has Smart not Bart.
A decent amount cal train is pretty packed in the mornings and evenings. Also they can't put BART or Anything to Solano, Marin etc without rebuilding one of the bridges. The only chance was when the system first started.
Because Solano County doesn't pay sales taxes into the system. Santa Clara County does. Construction is funded by sales tax bonds. In SF/ContraCosta/Alameda folks pay both sales taxes and GO bond taxes. So, if you want Bart in Vallejo, petition for an initiative to issue G/O bonds to extend the system and raise the sales tax to subsidize operations, and sit back and wait for it to pass with 66% and you'll get your BART.
In the meantime, how many businesses will close. Hardly anyone uses Bart. I see it everyday in milpitas when I ride my bike. 2nd, not safe..may get mugged or sit on needles..
Hardly anyone, bud? You sure about that? Literally hundreds of thousands of people use BART. BART carries more people over the Bay than the Bay Bridge!
Without BART the whole region would grind to a halt. Pray that the people who take BART now continue to do so if you want to be able to get to work at all!
@@TohaBgood2 , really, then how come parking lot at Milpitas is practically empty. 2nd, security guard there tells me hardly any riders..then I ride my bike in that area and hardly any foot traffic to station. Maybe you work for BART? And what about the crime in BART, bud?
@@RacerX1971 We literally have monthly ridership numbers from BART. They're a government agency. They are legally required to make that data available.
You and your "security guard" boy must be imagining things.
Also, since when does BART have security guards? Do you mean BART police? Lol 😁😁😁
@@TohaBgood2 , not BART security and the security guard I talked to patrols the area that includes apartments and maybe condos. No, we are not seeing things. You don't like it when people disagree with you, so you have to be condescending, really 😉 😜
@@RacerX1971 Oh, I don't mind disagreement. I just don't like lying and "going on vibes". We have literal raw data from automated passenger counters. BART uses the exact same system that public venues use all around the world. The data is what the data is.
So we have the actual data generated by cold hard machines, and we have your "vibes." Which one do you think anyone will believe?
*here come all the vatos eh weh*
Boo
Lol, dude you literally troll against all Bay Area rail projects. What's wrong with you?
