BART’s expansion into San Jose requires pretty heavy machinery. As is tradition when it comes to machines of this nature, VTA wants you to come up with a name.

While the naming contest doesn't begin until 2024, we asked you: what would you name the tunnel boring machine? Here’s what you said:

🥁 Proper puntification
