How attractive you find the bullets depends on your station. There was lots of outcry when Caltrain started switching to lots of bullets during commuting hours from some folks. I would guess bullets make the most sense when rider volume is really predictable, such as commuting hours. That said, weekend bullets would be nice! Maybe weekend ridership to certain destinations (aside from SF) are more predictable than I think…

Agree with js. At least have a northbound bullet in the mornings (leave SJ around 11) and soutbound at nights (leave SF maybe around 10). Also, what about mid-day bullets on weekdays? Im not saying frequent ones, just maybe every other hour in each direction (ie leaves SJ at 10, noon, and 2)

There should be at least two baby bullets on Saturdays and Sundays: one in the morning and one in the evening. I am saying at least if more can not be accomodated. Just came from Europe and compared to the train services there we are decades behind. In addition, there should be trains going to Gillroy on weekends, especially during Holiday Season. Gillroy outlets, Stanford Shopping Center, Hillsdale Shopping Center and SF all have Caltrain stations that can make people use the train to go shopping and hopping rather than driving. And not only shopping. There are museums and events that people will attend more if Baby Bullets run on weekends. Please make it happen!
