They need a line that goes to Rancho Bernardo...probably run it up the 15...you'll touch Mira Mesa,Scripps Ranch, Poway, Carmel Mountain, Rancho Penasquitos then Rancho Bernardo...would be a great line
Amen to that. I think they use a butt-load of 992 buses to be able to have more paychecks of MTA drivers to tax TF out of. One trolley driver with 3 cars of 40 riders is too efficient for the already over-staffed MTA.
That airport needs to move, maybe somewehere in East County! Its literally the busiest single runway airport in the world, and has no more space to expand.
@@flipsolo It is not going to happen. They tried many times, Palomar being obvious choice, instead they just expanded it to maximum. San Diego will not see airport moving in observable future even though it is single busiest single runway airport in the country.
@@BigBlueMan118 Yes first stage of CA HSR should've been SD to LA. Would've fixed the issue with track on crumbling bluffs as well. Instead of.. what is it not? Modesto? And not built yet. So disappointing.
@@sandiegotrafficlightstrain354 Yeah, one every fifteen minutes each way that is always packed with travelers and luggage. Very packed, in my experience.
@@tbone3972 thanks for the info. The companies you mentioned and the MTS should work together to bring commuter train service to the areas I mentioned.
@@boyasia5874 2 things 1. Like T bone said, north county already has NCTD and making a trolley to Escondido would be a waste of money since the sprinter goes there already 2. A line to Temecula wouldn’t be too bad. But the downside is Temecula is in Riverside county. And MTS only operates in San Diego county.
That was the proposal, so maybe in 2050 if not sooner. I’m waiting to see where that UTC extension line leads to. I heard it’s going to be a purple line to Mira Mesa.
I was not confused until you showed us the second track and told us that MTS is adding a third track? You should have explained why do we need the third track when there are already two tracks. Make better reports please.
So many spot in the unincorporated areas that don’t have trolleys like spring valley, Eastlake, Clairemont, and fashion valley north etc. Eliminate the long bus rides so it’s more functional for public transportation commuters.
So California riders would be entrapped several feet in the air every time the tram went into emergency stop during the thousands of minor 2.0-4.0 magnitude tremors each year.
The will be a bad idea it will cause more confusion and waiting time. What can't MTS TROLLEY put another track so both green and orange line can go to the Santee trolley station? Then make one of the lines continue on to poway Mira Mesa Kearny Mesa Claremont anniversary being the last stop at UTC Mall. Would make more sense. People please speak out
Add a real security system like deputies to the train cars and platforms. Fix stations that historically flood. Have ticket checkers frequent more Then think about adding a line
Ignorant comment by someone who obviously does not travel on the MTA trolley system and notice all the transit cops, pass verification agents and plentiful swipe and ride pass activation stations on every platform. You must be commenting from St Louis where all your complaints are valid.
Oy! I noticed it was day time hours and the trolley was not only fairly seamless, it was not being utilized to even 25% capacity. If there's "congestion", it means there are too many trollies in service and therefor drivers and heavy-handed transit cops who always travel in pairs so that there seems to be more MTA employees aboard than riders at times like what is evident on this report. No wonder MTA keeps raising fares, screwing the elderly by raising minimum age for senior rider rates and harassing riders with imposing "where's your pass?" stop & frisk by transit cops of the traveling public while you are standing while the trolley is moving, forcing you to let go of the rail to produce your tribute to the MTA gangsters. The fact that each platform has transit cops that can assure full pass compliance means that the MTA intentionally traps homeless people trying to ride free onto a moving trolley with locked doors where the offender is left with no choice but to accept MTA extortion fines to drive the bloated over-staffed budget.
What a complete waste of fuckin money. Let's make a line for a place we already have trolleys going. Like bruh wtf is this bullshit. I HATE THE MTS WITH A PASSION. instead of making. Line that connects Chula vista to Eastlake. Otay mesa to San Ysidro. Eastlake to Santee. But nookk what do they do? Make something that we ALREADY HAVE.
It costs them basically nothing to do this (they just have to make new signs for the copper line) and it will save mts a lot of money. MTS wants to increase green line frequency but they can't do that if it's running on a single tracked portion. Honestly they should have just double tracked the entire line when they first built it and gotten it right the first time, but that's what happens when you build tracks in the middle of the street I guess.
The San Andreas Fault and all it's resultant lateral fault lines and the thousands of 2.0 - 4.0 earthquakes precludes use of trams that would entrap riders in the air everytime the tram went into emergency stop with every minor tremor.
@@dustup2249 "thousands of 2.0 - 4.0 earthquakes" - that's definitely a lie to make a fake point. Europe or Japan also have earthquakes and it's a non-issue, tons of metal does not "fly"
Nice report. If I may offer one suggestion: a map showing the change.
there is one on the sdmts website. basically the green line will turn into the copper line from santee to el cajon stations
They need a line that goes to Rancho Bernardo...probably run it up the 15...you'll touch Mira Mesa,Scripps Ranch, Poway, Carmel Mountain, Rancho Penasquitos then Rancho Bernardo...would be a great line
At least get a track that goes to the airport damnit

How about proposing the line from San Diego train station to the airport
the 992 bus?
Theres already a flyer bus and 992 bus for that.
@@sandiegotrafficlightstrain354 no way, I didn’t know that
It’s in the planning stage.
@@sandiegotrafficlightstrain354 Yeah, one every fifteen minutes each way that is always packed with travelers and luggage. Very packed, in my experience.
So it's going to use the same track, basically, and people will have to transfer to it in El Cajon?
yes so that green line can be more frequent
Correct!
How about extending the rail line from UTC to I- 15 which will serve the communities of North county to Escondido and to Temecula.
That portion of the line belongs to NCTD Coaster & the BRT route 235 already serves north county.
@@tbone3972 thanks for the info. The companies you mentioned and the MTS should work together to bring commuter train service to the areas I mentioned.
I agree. There are missing links between the rapid transit lines that force riders to ride longer to back track.

@@redxgaming6645 I believe RTA used to operate an express service from southern Riverside Co to Escondido but that got scrapped due to the pandemic.

But the purple line would go along the 805
@@BDawg-zt2cu i believe thats phase 1-2 and then mira mesa is after that
It's supposed to go from Poway and Kearny Mesa Claremont eventually to UTC Mall

I don't get this. There are two tracks at the Santee station, why can't one trolley just come in and then have the other one leave?
Not enough foot traffic like they have at the San Ysidro Border.
There’s only one track entering from Gillespie to Santee.
They can keep the two tracks there just expand the trolling line to Poway North East county eventually the last time would be UTC Mall
One more reason that the trolleys are really trying to make us miss our bus connections that ain't right. They want us to be extra late

why would we need that lol
