Looks like VTA is planning on dropping people off at Moffett and Central Expressway instead of the transit center on certain bus routes (21, 40, and 51) as the Moffett Boulevard crossing closes fully to vehicular traffic. This will result in more busses taking Shoreline and Central Expressway instead of being routed on Hope through downtown.

I'm guessing this will make the bus quicker, though it does mean you're going to have to cross central to get to certain busses.

Unsurprisingly, June was a gangbuster month for Caltrain ridership, due in part to the World Cup—which you can see reflected in the major bump in ridership at Mountain View station
