Thus, the train lines stop at the borders of these two municipalities, and there are two other train systems that cover the missing area. (BART, Amtrak, and Caltrain.)

Not "municipalities"; counties.

And they opted out because they would have had to pay in fully with no service for years, followed by inferior service forever (they were to be cash cows).
