    There is nothing "light" about the Caltrain rail system. It is a regular old railroad, not light rail.

    Hi Eric,

    Have you seen www.clevercommute.com? It allows public transit commuters to share real-time info in several major cities (yes - we cover Caltrain).
    Free to use...and it actually works well here in the NY/NJ/CT area...where it has become part of the fabric of the daily commute. We have thousands of people using it...

    I started in in '06 as a frustrated commuter. Now, it's my full-time job!

    Cool stuff, Joshua. How do you make money?

    Perhaps we can take that offline? The answer is likely "not what you think" ;). You've got my e-mail...right?
