Around two decades after the concept was first proposed, California is launching two new all-electric commuter trains on its state-owned Caltrain rail line. ...
No one in the USA cares about public transportation as they let the public use it. Innevitably whatever public transportation you use the route will end up in the ghetteo. Yeah, no thanks. I’ll stick with my car.
Yes. Fearmonger more. You keep up that driving! The rest of us will take advantage of more spare time to read while we cruise smoothly by the cars sitting in traffic. Truly a nightmare.

This is a mindset that many people in the U.S. will need to get over before the “quality” of public transport improves: that busses, trains, subways are for “the poor”.
I’ve been on the subways in New York and busses and trains elsewhere in the States. They’re gross. Especially, compared to most of Europe (Italy, Denmark, Germany, etc). In Asia, they’re also a clean. The mindset in Asia and Europe is “this is what people (not just the poor) take to get from point A to point B”. There aren’t school busses, the kids just take the same city bus/train/subway that all the other people take to get to work.
I’ve spent 45 minutes in the States on my daily commute staring at (and riding on) the bumper of the car in front of me. I’ve also spent 45 minutes, in Europe, peacefully riding the subway to work. I’m able to surf the web, watch a video, relax. I definitely enjoy/recommend the later experience.
I’m pretty sure the socially unacceptable behavior from homeless drug addicts is driven by factors that drive homelessness and drug addiction and not by the preference of most people to avoid homeless drug addicts in public spaces. Unless you’re implying law enforcement or society at large “clean up” public transportation…
