I'm not. When I heard the guy from AC Transit, a representative of which sits on TJPA, demur about the SOM bus ramp design at the presentation event, I figured that could be a deal-breaker. I don't think anybody wants the Rogers design so much as they simply didn't buy the SOM terminal design--they want it to extend the full multi-block length of the site and keep the freeway bus ramps as planned. I also bet John King (I think it was) was channeling their thinking about the uselessness of the grand terminal entrance facing east on Fremont St. since most passengers will enter from Mission or near the corner of 1st and Mission--the northwest side of the site.
