#3On one hand, this is a great effort and I'm sure will help commuters a ton.
But on the other, why on earth does the bay area have 31+ different transit agencies??

To ensure that we will never have a viable public transportation network that can make high-density mixed-use walkable urban environments possible.

If it actually worked well, people might use it, especially the undesirables.
It’s also because the Bay Area is stupidly split up into dozens and dozens of small-medium sized municipalities spread over multiple counties. So every little group acts in their own locally optimal, shortsighted interests. Most of the people affected worst by the lack of public transportation and housing can’t vote in the areas that can actually fix the problem.
I’ve been thinking the past couple of years you should be able to vote in local elections in the area you work in, even if you don’t live there.

Sharp eyes!
ACE is included in the feed, but we did not include it in the animation. We don't currently have geometries for the route alignment (the train tracks), so we'd be drawing straight lines between the ACE stops — didn't look that great in the GIF, so we left it out.

#8Curious why the line to Sacramento (upper right) is considered the Bay Area.

This is exactly the problem. It's so inefficient. 31+ executives (and top-paid people), 31+ budgets, 31+ locally-optimized goals and preferences. It's completely nuts.
