San Jose to San Francisco has CalTrain, a real commuter train. BART is
essentially a commuter train. L.A. has a system of sorts, as does San
Diego. San Jose is definitely a city that grew in the last 50 years.
Ironically the CalTrain was mainly to take commuters into San Francisco,
but now the reverse commute is very popular, taking San Francisco
residents down to Silicon Valley.
