Long-Term Planning Principles Build upon the existing network Improve service to existing customers and provide connections to growth areas Match travel times closer to BART on key lines to be more competitive with auto Reduce rail transit bottlenecks and pinch points Distribute peak period passenger loads by closing gaps in network Increase rail transit capacity (fleet size, rights of way, yards) with a tiered rail network Create network redundancy so fleets are more resilient and can easily move between yards. 12
