	Capitol Corridor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Capitol Corridor is a 172-mile (275 km) passenger train route operated by Amtrak in California.
		The Capitol Corridor is given this name because it links the state's first capital and where the first state capitol was located, San Jose (1850), with the state's current capital, Sacramento.
		The Capitol Corridor and its adminstration agency, the CCJPA, are responsible for the maintenance of the Amtrak California's Northern California fleet, which is used by both the Capitol Corridor and the San Joaquin routes.

	Capitol Corridor still growing Oakland Tribune - Find Articles
		Whatever the appeal, the confusingly managed Capitol Corridor commuter rail system from San Jose to Oakland to the Sacramento Area has flourished while other Bay Area transit agencies have struggled with stagnant ridership.
		To console riders, Capitol Corridor is offering a 10 percent discount on its monthly passes for May and 10-trip tickets passes sold April 16 through May 15.
		Last year's 8 percent jump to nearly 1.3 million riders would be the envy of any transit agency, but the line's current governance has seen an increase of 172 percent over its seven years of existence, from the 463,000 it inherited from Caltrans' earlier stewardship.

	Why?: Capitol Investment: Capitol Corridor-BART Connection at Oakland ...
		So, while I'm pleased by the establishment of a new Oakland Coliseum Capitol Corridor station, it's unfortunate that this will connect BART users to an infrequent, relatively costly (i.e., high-fare) service that better serves the occasional traveler than the daily commuter.
		Capitol Corridor riders can ride to the Oakland airport and Coliseum without transferring to BART in Richmond;
		So, it shouldn't really be called a realistic option for most commuters, and, ignoring VTA's plans to extend BART to Downtown San Jose and Santa Clara, a more Caltrainesque version of the Capitol Corridor could be more beneficial to regional transit.

	Capitol Corridor Ridership Grows On Stretching Bay Area Commutes
		In February, the Capitol Corridor added a train -- bringing the total to seven in each direction -- and shuffled its schedules to send an early morning train all the way from Sacramento to San Jose, a late-evening train from Sacramento to the Bay Area and a midafternoon train from Oakland to Sacramento.
		Nowhere is the Capitol Corridor's growing popularity more evident than aboard the early morning No. 723, which fills with Bay Area-bound commuters in Sacramento, Davis and Suisun City, then refills with Silicon Valley workers in Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland and Hayward before ending its 135-mile journey with stops in Santa Clara and, finally, San Jose.
		Eventually, Capitol Corridor officials hope to run trains hourly between the Bay Area and Sacramento from 6 a.m.
