If the city would do anything about the completely inept, pathetic, embarrassing state of the light rail subway system transit would actually WORK in SF instead of being a burden. Two car trains that travel an average of 15 mph is no way to operate in the 2nd densest city in the U.S. The MTA in their genius bought Breda trains that were too heavy for the tracks. The trains were supposed to operate at 55 mph but have to be slowed down to 30 mph max because of this. It's also why you hear those terrible blood curdling squeals whenever they turn. (source links http://www.sfweekly.com/1998-12-09/n...rding-failure/) It's actually a pretty decent transit location- when the Central Subway is open it will be within walking distance to this stadium, and will shoot right to the BART station. It will be much more connected here than the current Warriors stadium. The question is- will it be able to handle the capacity?
