Slow and noisy Caltrain..

It looks like old trains and crumbling transport infrastructures are not just a European problem. This Caltrain from San Francisco to Sunnyvale it is a mere example. It goes at the speed of a turtle!  45 miles per hour. Even cars, on congested freeways 101 and 280, are faster! I do not blame Americans for wanting to use their cars.

With the tech and solar industries doing so well, San Francisco-Sunnyvale is one of the most congested routes in California. The train is packed. It might make economic and financial sense to upgrade it. It is taking 50 minutes (San Francisco-Mountain View) to do thirty-eight miles!
