caltrain

The office is right next to the Palo Alto Caltrain station.

Comparison with having 12-30 million illegals in US is the Caltrain deciding not to eject drunk hobos living under overpass for tresspassing.

I even hear hesitations around FiDi as it's not easily accessible by Caltrain (let alone Oakland).

We're based in Downtown Palo Alto, minutes away from the caltrain, philz coffee, and everything you need to make your work life even more enjoyable!

CalTrain land is not technically under the local city's jurisdiction...

I've seen many on Caltrain in the mornings but many many more in Japan.

While you're basically correct, there's one point worth correcting: Caltrain locos need to put out 4000 hp because diesel trains built to US standards are ridiculously heavy, see eg.

Contrast with SF which had only one line south (CalTrain) through what remains a comparatively sparsely developed area (the Peninsula), and limited East Bay service (though the Key System did exist until the 1950s).

Hipmunk San Francisco, CA - close to Caltrain Experienced frontend, backend, full stack, iOS, Android, devops, and data engineers.

How about just having the state use eminent domain to seize half of Atherton, hook it back up to CalTrain, and build dense urban housing there, with easy commuting to Mountain View and Redwood City?

In Silicon Valley, the high-tech capital of the world, a pedestrian suicide (which happens depressingly often, and therefore cannot be considered an unusual event by the transit planners) brings the entire Caltrain network to a halt for two hours.

Of course the FiDi is accessible by Caltrain-just get off at Momtgomery or Embarcadero.

Caltrain shuttle and pre-tax commuter programs will help get you to our Mountain View office.

Caltrain uses cars that are 26 meters long and 3 meters wide[1].
