• Sunnyvale's New Transit Option BEAM (svvoice.com) — Sunnyvale has launched BEAM, a low-cost, on-demand shuttle that helps students, seniors, and non-drivers get around town and to nearby hubs like Homestead High and Kaiser. Cupertino residents may be interested because Cupertino, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale all now run separate Via-operated ride services, highlighting both new mobility options and the current lack of easy cross-city connections.
