One of the major reasons for the San Jose ridership drop was the fact they cut the line in half,forcing people to change cars at a transfer station at Tasman, which adds 10 or 15 min. to the trip waiting for the next car to Mountain View!!!      In todays paper, the state of Pa. declared Pittsburgh a financially distressed area, opening the way for the appointment of an outside overseer who will draw up a recovery plan for the city. This was requested by Mayor Tom Murphy to avoid bankruptcy. Pittsburgh is forcasting a 42 million deficit for next year and the credit rating hit junk bond status.The city has laid of thousands of employees and shut swimming pools and police stations ! This status will allow the city to tax commuters that come into the city to work. Sometrhing the mayor has tried to due before !    cheers and happy NEW YEAR from rogertrolley
