There are almost 80,000 commuters from Sacramento into the Bay Area that primarily depend on I-80, the Capitol Corridor and Solano Transit. I’m sure many would love the option of driving to Vallejo or Fairfield and hopping on BART. I’ve had a couple of friends who worked for Wells Fargo, Blue Shield and Brown & Toland who commuted ino the Bay Area aboard the Capitol Corridor. The rail connection between Sacramento and SF are going to have to be improved as more people commute into the Bay for higher paying jobs. Whether that’s BART in its current form or an electrified Capitol Corridor with a dedicated right of way remains to be seen.
