But we know what the International Standard is for highspeed rail and that seems to be approximately 50 level floor, with the Propulsion Systems underneath. If that is what it has to be, we need to find a way to make caltrains equipment compatible with the needs of statewide highspeed rail and the need to have an efficiently operating terminus in San Francisco. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Lazarus. Next speaker. Good afternoon. Supervisor. So a few things.

And then it will come back for policy decisions in the march through may timeframe. There will not be an rfp issued by caltrain to buy vehicles until it reaches a conclusion of those policy decisions. Id be glad to answer any questions supervisor kim. Thank you for all your work and thank you for answering a lot of technical questions that i didnt understand around platform compatibility. I did really appreciate that all of the agencies are working together t...

Been dreaming about for a long time and very happy that they are happening. On the compatibility issue, this is one that the Transportation Authority together with the city family we have been advocating for quite a while.
