Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

In San Diego a bare-bones and simple light rail transit (LRT) system has grown into a maturing, expanding rail system. Key decisions made in the development of a growing LRT network in San Diego have guided the operating performance of the system over the past 10 years and are shaping its future. The maturation of the system, together with ridership growth, has influenced a change in design criteria and operating features.
