We saw in Part I the three dimensions that San Diegans
value in a rapid transit system: connectivity, time, and the total customer experience.
Building from that, we looked at regional commute patterns.

Detailed Market Analysis
The challenge in San Diego is to link dispersed origins with multiple destinations—which requires extensive “criss-crossing” of the region.

We believe that, with the installation of Positive Train Control on the LOSSAN corridor, the region has an opportunity, working with
our Congressional delegation and the Federal Railroad Administra-tion, to pursue a pilot program for exploring the use of
light DMUs on that corridor. Alternatively, we should explore heavy DMUs.

Quickway Vehicles: “Flex Trolleys”
The newest generation of BRT vehicles is beginning to approach the comfort and attractiveness of many rail vehicles—but with the flexibility to “leave the tracks” and get you closer to where you’re going or coming from.

Improved Station Design
Improved station design is at the heart of our proposal. Market research has consistently
pointed to the value of safe, clean, and adequate stations in making people feel comfortable using
a rapid transit system.
