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 is doing real transit work while Glydeway and Mark Seeger is coping with their PRT study for SJC and being “innovative”.

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.

[propblastnd]

This will help the community of Oakland to have greater access in San Jose

[johnwoo]

Why need 10 years to finish such a small project?

[timothygouldjr]

Cindy Chavez should’ve been the mayor of sj

[WilliamDurham-ff]

A loan grant to build a vta in five years.

[poopymcgee]

So nightmare traffic for the next 6 years. Should go as good as the Tully off ramp expansion.

[WilliamDurham-ff]

Not interested in the vta or transport or the people but interest in lians and grants and owning a federal transport.
Crazy.

[WilliamDurham-ff]

Vta federal owned.
All grants are president grants.
A grant has to paid back just like a loan.
