I used to commute from Great America to Oakland Coliseum on the Capitol Corridor, and it took much less than 93 minutes. Anyways BART to San Jose will help with that, but considering the tiny Warm Springs Extension is a year late don't get your hopes up for that Berryessa Bart commute.

It's an hour and 3 minutes from Richmond BART to Fremont BART, and Capitol Corridor takes an hour and 4 minutes to make the same trip. Why would BART to San Jose be any faster than Amtrak to San Jose?

Unfortunately upgrading the Capitol corridor to have regular commute service is practically impossible.
