sprinter delayed

it won't be running until march 9th, and one of the station platforms needs to be demo'd since it doesn't line up with the train doors, but boy do those trains look cool. unfortunately, the comments from readers below the article once again show the rampant ignorance of many san diegans. in this case, they're astonished at how MTS requires public subsidies to operate, since they don't break even from ridership revenue alone. yet they completely overlook the fact that our freeways have been heavily subsidized for years - gas taxes and license fees don't come close to paying for their construction and repair. but why let truth get in the way of conservative thought? that's never been a concern for our president.
