« Shared Services - Part 2 | Main | Is April Fools' Day Really on the 15th? »
A recent comment by a Voice blogger got me thinking about the paucity of trains in B'game. When I come across one of my old printed schedules from 2004 or thereabouts, I'll have something to compare today's schedule with. But in the meantime, a visit to caltrain's website reveals that there are 28 trains in each direction that stop here each weekday. Is that considered a weak day by commuter train standards?

My wife and I ride the train daily. Burlingame is on what I call the "slow train schedule". Burlingame Ave usually only gets one train per hour, whereas Millbrae, Hillsdale, and other big stations get many more stops.
Bullet trains started in 2003 and I suspect the frequency of trains stopping at Burlingame Ave hasn't changed a whole lot since then (we get skipped a lot).
The nice thing is that they now do sprinkle an extra stop in the morning during the peak commute. If I miss my southbound, or my wife misses the northbound, we can catch another one about a half-hour later. This also keeps the donut shop in business.
