- Sorry, Tim, I have to disagree with you here. Not everyone who wants
- to go downtown lives south of the city center. Furthermore, not everyone will
- want to go downtown - some people will want to go to work. This means rail
- will be needed north of downtown, as well as south. When the Tasman/Hostetter
- line goes in, my roommate will have door-to-door service from home to his
- Golden Triangle workiplace - a trip that currently requires a bus transfer.
- This will be true for a lot of people in the Berryessa area.
