SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Caltrain is unveiling its plan for the next 20 years, including faster service and fewer stops for riders.
Caltrain carries 65,000 people a day; this new plan would nearly triple the service and provide for 180,000 people a day. To do that, they would add trains -- instead of five every hour, you would see eight.
