I think, with all of the talk about extending BART to San Jose International airport they are missing the easiest, most efficient and most important improvement they could make to BART. In my opinion that would be to improve accessibility of BART to south bay commuters by moving it closer to Interstate 680 and offerring adequate parking.
As it now it is frustratingly slow to drive to BART from San Jose with much of the commute over city streets.
Now, if you arrive at the station after 8:30am there is a good chance you will find the Fremont parking lot full.
This is what I did when I attended MacWorld yesterday. It was very frustrating. I was attending a user group meeting that evening so I could not take Caltrain. I think a big dig into and through San Jose would be a waste of taxpayers money. But, an extension into Warm Springs or, even better, near the great mall, with a light rail connection and a large parking structure would be a sound investment.
