High-Speed Trains to Aid Commuters in June
So-called Baby Bullet trains that can make the trip from San Jose to San Francisco in less than an hour at speeds reaching 75 mph are expected to start transporting commuters in June. Caltrain released the schedules Thursday.
The trains will travel on Caltrain’s tracks, stopping at just four stations that were chosen because they have the highest ridership on the Bay-Area system, a Caltrain spokeswoman said.
Current trains reach a maximum of about 60 mph between some stations, she said.
A trip from San Jose to San Francisco will take 57 minutes, while the fastest trip currently available takes nearly 90 minutes.
