$1.2 billion for 191 riders? Let's build it!
The environmental impact statement for a proposed commuter train between Sonoma and Marin counties says that the train will cost $1.2 billion and carry just 191 commuters to and from work each day.
I once debated a rail advocate and asked him what he considered to be a measure of success. "If a few people ride the train and save time, then it is a success."
By that criterion, California should definitely start running the Sonoma-Marin commuter train.
