The 101 is the leading indicator of the valley's economic health. When the traffic started to seriously drop off in 2001, we knew the dot-com was over. The more times the traffic is stop-and-go bumper-to-bumper on your way home, the better business is doing! Not to mention, all the billboards and building signs on the 101 are actually "They Live" style methods of subliminal messaging. You don't know it, but you are being blasted with covert messages that tie you into the Silicon Valley grand design.
Until it takes a hour and a half just to get between Redwood City and SFO again, there is no incentive to actually make the economics of Caltran work. The Dow may be breaking records again, but how's the traffic in the valley??
wow, thats actually a really good comment...I never looked at it like that, but you're probably right
