Considering the role of the Bay Area as an economic hub, public transit, especially Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), is critical in assisting people with easy access to their jobs and services.

In contrast, other developments like Alma Station in Menlo Park look to revitalize underdeveloped areas near Caltrain stations.
