Caltrain's switch to electric is already paying off
Briefly

Caltrain’s electrification project has significantly improved ridership, with October seeing a 54% increase compared to last year, and weekend ridership surging dramatically.
The switch to electric trains means quieter operations, quicker acceleration, and enhanced comfort, allowing for more frequent stops and reduced route times compared to diesel.
Caltrain now completes the journey between San Jose and San Francisco in under an hour, setting a new standard for public transit in the Bay Area.
Unlike BART, Caltrain offers restrooms and a two-story design that makes for a more enjoyable travel experience, attracting more riders than before.
