MTS is collecting 33% less per trolley boarding today than they did pre-pandemic. Getting back to pre-pandemic fare compliance would bring in almost $15 mlilion more revenue annually without increasing the fare.

San Diego’s quiet noise rule change could echo around city — and near Petco Park. From investigative reporter Greg Moran. inewsource.org/2026/09/04/s...

San Diego's noise rule change could echo around city

San Diego said it’s a longstanding interpretation. Petco Park neighbors who are suing over Gallagher Square concert noise aren’t so sure.

What would people think of a California ballot measure requiring License Plate Reader cameras to also be used for speed and red light enforcement? Package deal. Fair trade-off? Also include safeguards for LPR usage.

MTS is a well-run and efficient transit system that the San Diego community should be proud of. Great to see them recognized nationally as the best large transit system in the country. 👏

Explain to me why having ICE reinforce TSA employees is a bad idea. Wouldn’t that redirect them from field enforcement? Are there lots of illegal immigrants going through the airport? Aren’t there already ICE and border patrol in airports?

About 25 years ago, while working for the City of Glendale, a Dial-a-Ride customer submitted official court papers showing he changed his name to “Robert Duvall.” I wondered if he genuinely respected him or if it was something nefarious. He may have been his number one fan.

Funny how no one sketches out where power substations or sewer lines should go—too technical, defer to the pros. But transit rail maps? Everyone’s an expert. Difference is: utilities follow demand. Transit advocates often draw what THEY want and ignore existing riders.

It would have been a more complete critique to include that the Purple Line is an ill-conceived transit project and being the “North Star” for RideSD is an indication they are heading in the wrong direction compared to the priorities of San Diegans that rely on public transit.

This article is BS. The Padres kicked out popular City Tacos which competed with their stadium food business and are replacing it with a bar that will be owned by them. It will be open shorter hours and goes against their commitment in Measure C. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/01/12/p...

So why would this 5/5/5 plan not also make sense for private lots in Downtown? Seems like the same logic would apply. Some of the businesses charging $50-$90 for parking during special events are the same ones complaining about the City rates being too high. thesandiegosun.com/san-diego-ci...

Making the experience of getting to the park objectively worse for hundreds of thousands of San Diegans would actually make additional bus lanes less palatable to them on future ballot measures. Transit advocates will continue to vote for sloppy measures that mention rail expansion or bus lanes.

VOSD will not acknowledge that Board of Supervisors seats are nonpartisan. Referring to all local officials as Democrats or Republicans has contributed to local politics’ divisiveness. We need space for the 25% of registered voters who aren’t members of either party to serve in elected positions.

As a transit planner, I’m concerned SB 79 may inadvertently halt new high-quality transit projects in California. Local elected officials on transit boards will not likely approve new projects where they would lose land use control.

re: tariff inflation discourse, it's worth mentioning again that if tariffs *don't* raise prices, then there's no way they "incentivize" domestic production The mechanism by which they're supposed to re-shore industry is by increasing prices for imported goods and reducing trade
