Caltrain Fares

New Caltrain Fares: Caltrain has proposed a fair adjustment. See also comments on fare proposal.

Caltrain's presentation of the new fares:

The zones and fares are changed. Does this table show which fares
go up and which go down ? No.

A better presentation would also show which fares go up
and which go down. For example, the below ficticious
matrix shows some fares going up and others going down.

San Francisco- -0.25 +1.00
Palo Alto +0.25 - +0.50
San Jose +0.50 0.00 -

It would also be better for Caltrain to link together their
various pages about the fares.

Also, the top table was presented by Caltrain as only a .PDF file.
It would help if Caltrain would learn to publish web materials as
simple as a one page tables in HTML, instead of only in .PDF format.
