Looks like CalTrain is not as retarded as I thought they are. ABC reported last week that they are testing a WiMaxx / WiFi setup on a 16 mile stretch of track between San Francisco and San Jose somewhere. The system is using WiFi locally on the trains and transmitting and receiving to base stations outside of the train using WiMaxx. Pretty slick.

Now if they can just let people on the train more than 5 minutes beforehand, when there are 200 people waiting, the train is clean and ready and the north entrance to the station in San Francisco is blocked because people are lining up to get on the train.
