  1. New ferry starts Monday, hauling commuters from East Bay to South SF (Oyster Point). New terminal offers great view. twitter.com/ctuan/status/2…
  2. Today #chronwatch leaves transportation behind (what?!) and takes on SF's drug supermarket at Golden Gate Park entry. sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl…
  3. @CHSRA board votes unanimously to hire Jeff Morales, former Caltrans director, recent #HSR consultant, as new CEO. Salary to be negotiated.
  4. Former Caltrans director Jeff Morales nominated as new @chsra CEO. #HSR
  5. @tsheehan I've always been fond of Big Bill Broozny's This Train (is Bound for Glory), also done by Woody Guthrie.
  6. While @CHSRA in closed session, amazingly bad digital light jazz plays. Shouldn't they play high-speed whooshing sounds or old train songs?
  7. Yep. MT @OhHelloHolly: can always tell someone who's not from the bay area because they call it THE bart. #bart...
  8. What's in a name? For #BART stations, more and more. Station names are getting longer. Is it a problem? sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl…
  9. #BART directors consider plans for late-night weekend buses now, express trains and infill stations in decades t come sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl…
  10. @sjdorst @rebeccaforbart It is just a concept for a pilot. But idea is to focus on area where people are more dependent on BART, AC.
  11. #chronwatch is back, better and focused on bigger questions like: Why aren't there more Fastrak lanes at Bay Bridge? sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl…
  12. Correction: Idea would be a three-year pilot of Inner East Bay Pass. Proposed cost would be $90/month for unlimited #BART, AC Rich-BayFair.
  13. Radulovich: "It's start of something we should have done 40 years ago." Passengers want integration of transit.
  14. Mixed opinions on idea, which would be a one-year pilot. Why limit to Rich-BayFair? Idea is better bus/ #BART integration in East Bay.
  15. #BART directors discussing #MTC idea of Inner East Bay Fast Pass. Unlimited rides on #ACTransit plus BART from Richmond-Bay Fair.
  16. Seems like all new (and some old) #BART stations must have at least 2 names separated by a slash. The latest: Warm Springs/South Fremont.
