san diego is one of my favorite cities. i have to confess that i have never had to rely on public transportation when i have visited. hopefully that always remains true! but if there is one city that should not face too great a challenge when it comes to improving the transportation system it is SD. it just doesn’t seem that spread out, so it should not be excessively expensive to make a marked improvement.

Lightner noted that San Diego can’t and won’t have a reliable public transportation base without reliable transit. Indeed, with the dramatic reduction of state funding, it’s critical that we look to new funding sources — or brace ourselves for a whole lot more walking.

San Diego really has one of the worst transits in California. But I guess the government has more important projects than this transit that is why they are cutting back the budget for San Diego transit.

Gosh, the transit system certainly is in a mess-what a great opportunity to create jobs and help out the economy if your local government could get the budget straight and set aside the funds for the project. I’m sure by just chargin a small amount the transit project could be paid off fairly quickly and then generate profit!

I do hope your state is able to iron out the budget and get back on track soon! I am sure many people would love to use the trolley if it were more convenient; and putting money into building them would in turn create more jobs, help cut on traffic and pollutions, and even increase revenue for the state from the passes sold for the trolley. Good luck, and I hope it is able to happen in the near future!

The mas transit in San Diego is till a heck of a lot better then most cities in the country. Be thankful you at least have a decent public transportation system.

When I lived in Chicago it seemed that taxes had to be raised every year to cover the expenses that go along with public transportation including pensions, etc..

There is no simple solution to the current economic situation…

“Moody’s Investors Service assigned a negative outlook to the creditworthiness of all local governments in the United States, the agency said Tuesday, the first time it had ever issued such a blanket report on municipalities.”

When the cash registers (or should I say Credit?) were ringing… State and Local governments failed miserably in addressing these problems when they had a chance. I highly doubt it’s going to get any better as tax revenues continue to drop with the decrease of incomes in the private sector.

And the Credit Card / Commercial Real Estate problems are right around the corner…

I would love it if the trolley was a little more convenient, i ride it during Padres and Charger Games and occasionally take it from Downtown to Mission Valley but it really stinks when you compare it to many other city’s in the country. It would be awesome if you could have a great trolley that really went to the places you needed to get to.
