The Sprinter rail service in San Diego's North County offers a picturesque and efficient transportation option, contrasting sharply with the struggles faced by many California transit agencies. Since its inception in 2008, the Sprinter has seen an 8% increase in ridership, demonstrating its viability and encouraging transit-oriented development around its 15 stations. There are expansion plans to improve service frequency, yet concerns exist regarding the aging diesel trains which may need early replacement, posing a financial challenge. Amidst California's general transit decline, Sprinter stands out as a beacon of hope and effective public transportation.
"Sprinter suggests that our transit future might be brighter. In an ugly world, Sprinter is reliably pleasant and operates as a rare source of transportation inspiration."
"Sprinter, operated by the North County Transit District, is a model of viable public transportation, driving development and increasing ridership by 8% last year."
