and capacity and expansion, and expansion in that context involves both new quarters and in-fill stations. i want to note that an expansion corridor in the bart service area may not be served by bart technology and we are looking at a time line of 30 to 50 years for some of this, and seeking to inform the board's priority decisions and given the finite resources. there is a look at those finite resources the bart financial context is we expect the increasing shortfall over the next ten years as it looks to 2014, to 2024 and operating shortfall over that period but very significantly, we have a shortfall of about 5 billion dollars or 50 percent of the need for capitol over the next ten years. >> and as we put together this vision, effort, and we defined this flowchart here, in that context, and just described that we are trying to progress this study here. and we look at the orange box, and as expansion ideas, and we started off with over 100 expansion ideas and we reduce this with two criteria and the free screen, land use density and available corridor and took us to about 30 projects to

(inaudible) and the new downtown transit center and i think that the best for all of us is to find a way to make it. and i think that with the change to a level boarding for cal train, at the other stations will greatly enhance our capacity but as he said, the choke point will become how many trains can you get in and out of the new downtown transit center, and how does that relate to what the platform height is, and it is being driven by several stations and it is not something that is a common issue to all stations we can go to the current 75 percent, six car lengths and in future, build, and it will give us a capacity increase and it is really do you go all the way into the transbay, how much is it fourth and king, and what is that service pattern, that is part of the discussion that is ongoing. >> okay. >> so just that i understand, that i guess that it is a small numb
