message: Can someone provide some information regarding the contracting of the AC service area? AC Transit used to serve most of the cities of the 680 corridor, but the cities basically kicked out AC Transit and now run their own services. Part of the reason was that AC Transit was under-serving the suburbs, while spending their money on underutilized services in the urban areas.  That history should be reflected in this article. Argyriou (talk) 17:35, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is my understanding that AC Transit's service in what is now Westcat, Tri-Delta Transit, CCCTA, etc. areas was operated under contract with local authorities and poor service in the early '80s caused loss of those contract. AC's actual district hasn't changed in a major way except for the addition of Fremont and Newark in the early '70s. However, I don't have a source for this.  aaronrp 17:34, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  History? 

message: This page was a dump for information migrated off of the AirBART page. As an article it is a stub at best, and is mostly irrelevant - it contains no information other than its fares and its airport-BART link, which is actually only a small part of the line. It should either be a candidate for deletion or have any useful information merged into the main article. Bayberrylane 18:57, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi anonymous: I'm the "contributor" who carved off the information, and I do ride the bus, frequently. Perhaps this information would be useful at the Oakland Airport article?  The fact is that the article was entitled AirBART, and yet a third of the article was dedicated to bus service that was not AirBART.  AirBART is the name for the bus line run between BART and the airport, not a catch-all term.  If you'd like to build a page called Bus transit to Oakland International Airport where you can compare and contrast services, be my guest. --Jfruh (talk) 17:10, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A good chunk of the Route 50 page was on fares, so I generalized that and put it in its own section here. I think the Route 50 page should be eliminated. Every bus line should not have its own page in an encyclopedia. And the place where people should answer the question "I've just gotten off a plane at Oakland, what do I do now" is wikitravel:Oakland#Get_in  Aaronrp 00:43, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

text: OK, I think with the adding of the text on the airport at the top, everything worth keeping on the Route 50 page is now on this page. I will change the route 50 page to be a redirect to this page in a few days unless there is objection. Aaronrp 01:41, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

text: What information was lost from the Route 50 page? There is now a nice, short description on the AirBART page of what those differences are in general, and new information on this page as to the details, which is more generally applicable. I did remove information about the 90E, for two reasons. First, I didn't have a reference, just my personal recollection, which isn't good enough for Wikipedia. Second, I don't think it's particularly relevant. Obviously that last is just my opinion, but I didn't want to go around searching for historical sources for something I didn't think was important. Ultimately, making a contribution includes editing. Aaronrp 22:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger of [[Route 50 (AC Transit)]] 

message: Hello all, I just put in two 30-foot bus images into the article. However, I'd like some input about the 52L image. I have two versions – the currently-displayed one, and this other one. I personally have a preference for the current version, but I want to hear other opinions too. Let me know! —lensovet–talk – 02:42, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  30-foot bus images 

message: The article says "The transbay letter designations originated as a means of distinguishing the Key System's transbay trains from those of the Southern Pacific's which were numbered." I actually believe the letters and numbers distinguished the Key System transbay trains from the East Bay Street Railways local routes, and that the SP trains were not numbered until later. But I don't have a source for that. So I marked it with the  tag. aaronrp 18:15, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
