Mark-Elliott Lugo says San Diego Transit worse every year
Dear SDaniels, "My neighbor had one such driver, except the doors were open as he sped off. Said neighbor fell out as he tried to step down, and suffered quite a break to the leg" Did your neighbor sue MTS? I'm surprised that a bus can be traveling at a high rate of speed with the doors open. One would think that once the doors are open that the bus wouldn't move.— September 28, 2009 11:29 a.m.
Mark-Elliott Lugo says San Diego Transit worse every year
I had a #30 bus driver attempt to drop me this morning. He pulled up to the curb on gillman at UCSD and opened the doors when people stood up to get off he abruptly closed the doors hit he accelerator sped forward and then brake to a second stop..hoping to drop people to their knees.. the supervisor is sitting outside in a $60,000 car with a computer in the passenger seat and never rides the bus.— September 23, 2009 1:30 p.m.

As a twenty year vet of riding public transit in San Diego, I will state that Ollie's article represented the peeps more so then this week article in 'CITY BEAT' which represented the transit adminsitrators and elected officials who are the greatest benefactors from transit.— April 11, 2009 9:54 a.m.
Del Mar Un-Fairgrounds
I don't think the people of Del Mar want a train station. They closed the old one.— March 24, 2009 12:05 p.m.
Go anywhere on San Diego Transit for $64 a month
On the cold winter morning of Monday March 8th while watching ESPN'S sportscenter a TV ad for San Diego's transit system MTS aired. Later while sitting on a milk crate at my bus stop, I was thinking, that MTS's tv ad money hasn't increased transit usage (fuel prices do) but has been used to silence San Diego's TV and print media about the abuses in funding that people who ride transit suffer under. The main abuse being that San Diego's MTS and Sandag and North Counties NCTD should merge. I congratulate the "San Diego Reader" for broaching the subject.— March 9, 2009 10:37 a.m.

North Clairemont library – all things to all patrons
The San Diego public library system refused service to an estimated 50,000 patrons last year. These 50,000 are visitors or locals who wanted to use a 1hr computer station but were REFUSED and informed that all computers are occupied and that they had to wait an hour or longer. Most never return. It's a hardy crew that occupies a 1 hr computer station at a public library and I'm one of them. The downtown central library has a ratio of one librarian on duty for every 1hr computer station. A modern library has a ratio of one librarian for every 30 computers. E.G. Lied library at UNLV. Bio-med at UCSD. Love library at SDSU. Copley library at USD. Encinitas library. There is an overwhelming need to cut the staff and use the money for 1hr computer stations that would increase the libraries usages by 50,000 patrons a year at no cost to the public. Mr. Robert J.
