Talk:Sprinter (rail service)

message: The original Escondido station building is now part of collection of historical buildings at Grape Day Park, located about a mile from the present day Escondido Transit Center.  Vista Station is almost certainly new as well; looking just as you would expect a new commuter/light rail station to look.  No cite, but I assume it's not necessary when removing "citation needed" content.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pithecanthropus4152 (talk • contribs) 02:48, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

text: Looking at a map, the Oceanside Transportation Center is far out of the way for anyone wanting to go from Escondido to downtown San Diego.  MTS does operate a very decent express bus (line 280), but this is limited to a weekday peak service schedule.  Another Rapid bus with more comprehensive service is the 235.  Like the 280 it runs mostly up and down the 15 and 163 using the HOV lanes, but hits every transit station along the way, meaning it has to exit and re-enter the freeway for each one. This adds a lot of time to the schedule. Moreover, this route includes several miles of street running between Kearny Mesa and DTSD.  For Escondido residents who want to take public transportation to DTSD, I think a good solution would be a rail line running approximately southwest to hit the coast at one of the existing Coaster/Amtrak stations.  Failing that, the 280 bus really is quite fast and comfortable.  I just wish its schedule could be more comprehensive.Pithecanthropus4152 (talk) 23:15, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Future Expansion?

message: Who wrote this article, a car/bus manufacturer?  This is one of the most preposterously biased articles I've seen on wikipedia.  Can someone do a little research and balance this out some?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.135.35.10 (talk) 23:49, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: With regard to item 2, I have never understood the logic behind this argument.  It's as if to argue that money spent to get middle class commuters out of their cars is acceptable, but improving service for the already transit dependent is a waste of public funds.  This way of thinking is how we ended up without any transit in L.A. other than G.M. buses for generations.  With regard to item 3, don't assume that buses are or will remain faster.  Looking down the barrel of more housing tracts to come in Valley Center, I am sure that the schedule performance of any buses on the surface roads or CA-78 will degrade in the future.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pithecanthropus4152 (talk • contribs) 03:09, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

message: When the article says:
 Due to its shared right-of-way with freight trains serving businesses in Escondido, the Sprinter platforms had to be set back from the tracks a sufficient distance to provide enough room for employees riding on the sides of freight cars. 
It fails to explain what that means for riders trying to board a train on a passenger platform. I assume this does not mean there is a wide gap between the passenger platform and the train whe it’s in the station. Are the passenger trains wider then normal freight trains so that the passenger train doors are right next to the platform edge whenthe trainin in the station while the freight trains, being narrower will have a larger gap between them and the platforms so workers hanging the side don’t sidswipe the platform whe passing through a station? this should be clarified in the article by someone who knows the answer.
