The ground level is a concourse area and serves as the main circulation hub for the centre. It is used for passenger circulation and includes retail spaces. The lower concourse level serves as a link between the ground level and underground level. It includes three passenger platforms and six train tracks serving Caltrain and the future California High-Speed Rail. The train station platform is located underground. Design of the Salesforce Transit CenterĬovering an area of one million square feet, the new transit centre has five storeys with a train station platform, lower concourse level, ground level, second level, bus deck level and City Park. The project is expected to generate $87bn of gross regional product and encourage people to use public transport to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. It also included integration of a future California High-Speed Rail line into the transit hub. Phase two included the Downtown Rail Extension Project (DX), a 2.09km (1.3 mile) extension of the Caltrain railway line into the underground level of the transit centre. The first phase of the project involved the construction of a five level transit centre, which includes two underground levels. It integrates various transit systems, including AC Transit, Bay Area Rapid Transit, Caltrain, Golden Gate Transit, Greyhound, Muni, SamTrans, WestCAT Lynx, Amtrak and Paratransit. The centre provides a transportation hub for eight Bay Counties and the California State. “Ground breaking for the project took place in December 2008 and is scheduled for completion in 2017.”
