As a long-time rider, the VTA infrastructure is excellent, and the route coverage is good. It even has wifi.
In the short-term, if buses left and arrived on time, that would be a helpful improvement. Longer-term, ride analysis from Clipper data could optimize routes and frequencies.
When looking at farebox recovery numbers, remember that the bloated bureaucracy, driver salaries and pensions have to be paid from that.
Doubling the speed of the light rail would make it much more usable.
