Yes just think if the JPB actually brought in some new Electric MU train
sets or even bring in some modern cars like the Metrolink / Stockton San
Jose cars to replace the museum pieces they currently operate. The ridership
and usage would grow so fast the service might even operate on time and
carry moor people faster because of the faster loading etc they would have a
hard time selling a BART Line to San Jose.
