Passenger Trains > San Joaquins to restore some service as ridership reboundsDate: 06/24/21 22:10 San Joaquins to restore some service as ridership rebounds Author: GenePoon San Joaquins plans to restore service on some routes as ridership rebounds
"This increase in service will improve connectivity for the summer travel season," said David Lipari, marketing manager for the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission. "We also anticipate making further adjustments to increase service this fall, including potentially restoring at least one direct train connection to Sacramento. "Here are the routes that will be restored on trains and buses starting Monday:
There is no summer resumption of the Sacramento San Joaquin trains (of which I rode the inaugural on May 16, 1999). Date: 06/25/21 12:34 Re: San Joaquins to restore some service as ridership rebounds Author: bridge22-0196 GenePoon Wrote:

Pick up a copy of the old California System Timetable from Cal Trans in t he 1990's. Buses everywhere it was a transit bible of all rail transit in California. A Grand Sales Tour. Had several Travel agents ask me for a copy for reference. Date: 06/27/21 14:11 Re: San Joaquin's to restore some service as ridership rebounds Author: SanDiegan mundo Wrote:

Peak ridership occurred when the Thruway Bus network was at its peak. The JPA's don't know the history, nor do they understand the economics of city pairs and through travel.

Look at the Oct 30, 1994 timetable to see all the possble connections possible. Just about the peak number of cities served. Like Jamestown-Twin Harte-., El Monte-Whittier-Bakerfield, Reno-Quincy-Redding. These are a sample of what one could do. Sure that those routes did not provide larger ridership, but the public had options, in place of driving. |
