[...] and in the long term, it may make more sense to include Geary in the regional rail network with a BART line instead of Muni Metro. I suspect that there will be strong views on both sides as to whether the [...]

The only thing worse than April Fools jokes is reading them several days after 04.01. You had actually given me hope until I noticed /2009/04/01 in the address bar while reading the third paragraph. *sniffles*

Alex: the purpose of the rapid bus is to replace MTC’s proposed Oakland Airport Connector, which has a funding gap, and has been abandoned by the private partners who were supposed to cover much of the necessary funds. A bus solution is less glitzy, but more cost-effective. Glad to hear that you like the rest of the map, anyway.

I bet it would be popular. A GG Park station would require a spur off of this Geary line, but then it’s also a pretty good shot south on 19th Ave. to Daly City. That would be another big project, but it seems like it could have a pretty revolutionary effect on transit share for the west side of town, linking to the L and N lines.

Thanks for the word on your blog, will be interested to check it out later.
