Thanks for your efforts and for following up. Don't neglect your other responsibilities. We'll see if we can't take it from here.

I like this idea as a first notion, but I do have some cautionary concerns. Caltrain is facing a budget deficit for the coming year, its fourth or fifth in a row, and we would be concerned about anything that would result in a drop in revenue, even a slight one. All of which means this idea would have to be shown to pay revenue benefits over the long-haul -- for example, showing that those who use the guest pass would otherwise not be riding at all, and that the experience would entice them to begin using the train, expanding the customer base without cutting into the revenue base.
