"VTA is currently working on a plan to resume light rail service," a VTA spokesperson said in an email Friday. "We may have more information to release about the process next week." The three-line light rail system spans more than 40 miles in the South Bay, connecting residents along the peninsula from Mountain View to San Jose. The network served around 30,000 daily riders prior to the pandemic and 7,600 daily riders this past year, according to VTA's data. VTA officials say the shooting caused damage to buildings, equipment and computers necessary to the service. The transit agency is working to repair the physical damages, but the loss of workers who held highly technical positions could also contribute to the lengthy service suspension, said Jayme Ackemann, a former VTA communications manager with more than 20 years of experience in public transportation.
