>>911179Again, it makes better sense when you realize that Caltrain has better things to do then play grabass with BART and BART has better things to do then fuck with the developers around their most profitable stations.
SF itself has no Amtrak connection, so connectivity issues aren't new. Ideally in 10-20 years once CAHSR is done, Caltrain can build a tube to Oakland and open up SF to Amtrak.
Also, Oakland itself could use a better Amtrak connection (its currently split between the Emeryville and Jack London Sq stations) and it would cost less to fix that mess and then build a tunnel to SF, rather than shoehorn in Amtrak service into SF somehow right now.
