Veteran on Caltrain

Many people have told us that Muni isn’t the only Bay Area transit with colorful tales. In November, with the help of trusty commuter and Muni Diaries reader Laura, we launched the Caltrain Diaries Twitter feed. If you’re not already following, we’ll pause while you go and do that.

Now then, do you think Caltrain commuters have the same voracious appetite for transit stories and photos as their Muni counterparts? We certainly hope so. Laura’s seen an endless supply of entertaining, informative, and thoughtful tweets so far, and we thought it’d be nice to give stories from other Bay Area public transit systems a space on our site. Check out the Other Bay Area Transit page (over there! On the top, next to the Home link).

If you have stories from Caltrain, email them to caltraindiaries@gmail.com. Laura received our first Caltrain diary from rider Jason, who saw a seemingly confused man board the train and learns that the man has just been released from the VA hospital. Read about what happened next.
