Millbrae resident here.

Millbrae is the largest 'intermodal' station west of the Mississippi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millbrae_Intermodal_Terminal). It is the closest station to the largest airport in the Bay Area (SFO). If you're flying into SFO and want to connect to the high-speed rail, Millbrae is the _most_ accessible station, and one of the few (only?) stations in the region which allows you connect to most of the Bay Area.

'Poor parking near the bart station' - BART says there are 2900 spaces available. I don't know what would be expected, but I wouldn't describe that as 'poor parking'.

Also, perhaps less relevant, Millbrae is the last stop on the existing rail corridor still allowing relatively flat (and straight) tracks. North of that, tunneling or large bends around hills may be required.

Parking: 5+ month waiting list. That indicates there obviously is more demand than availability right now, even without any proposed service additions (data: my experience waiting for a parking pass late 2014/early 2015). But please do lecture me on the abundant parking.

It is not the closest station to sfo; that's San Bruno, or at least that's how the trains go the majority of the day.
