FYI I uploaded a picture to Commons of theMountlake Terrace Transit Center,if anyone thinks we should use something like that here.ECTran71(talk)09:56, 19 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

We need a "current" (2006-present) and "older" (various between 1976-2006) logos, please!Bigtop22:30, 5 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

See examples at thetransit web site(and possibly e-mail the owner, since the example is the current logo right now).Bigtop06:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

I put the current logo inside the new infobox and an older logo bellow the box. I'm not sure when the older logo was used exactly. The article was broken up into smaller sections to make it more organized and references were added. The vanpool fact that was put previously needs a citation to go along with it. In the infobox I left the "Operator" box empty because I was unsure what that was referencing. The infobox also seems poorly designed in the first place, so I'm not sure if it should even stay. --Jfowler2702:02, 25 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

What exactly is wanted to expand the page? I have some ideas, but want to run it by those who are already here first:

Those are just topic ideas that could most likely be fleshed out a bit. But I'm not sure what direction those here want to take it in.The Artak08:09, 17 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Added some information on route services offered. Going to try and add some more in the future.The Artak00:56, 18 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Commuter Routes

edit
Latest comment:15 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Commuter Routes section needs to be improved. Community Transit operates its own commuter routes, funded by CT through its funding sources and fares, for Peak service to Seattle, U-District, and Microsoft (these all operate Mon-Fri only, most peak only). These routes also provide neighborhood-level service as well as park and ride lots. This is not to be confused with the services which Community Transit provides for Sound Transit. Many of these routes operate daily, while non venture into neighborhoods like CT buses do.Slyfield(talk)05:41, 20 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think ST Express busses and references to them can be deleted, with a statement that CT operates certain routes on behalf of Sound Transit. There is a seperate section for Sound Transit buses. CT and ST are as different as King County Metro and CT.Slyfield(talk)17:54, 24 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Reviewer:Dough4872(talk·contribs)02:03, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

GAreview(seeherefor criteria)
  1. It isreasonably well written.
    a(prose):b(MoS):
    • I would split the sentence "The buses ran for 16 hours a day, charging a base fare of 20 cents;[22] among the most popular lines was Route R14, accounting for 21 percent of system ridership in the first three months, running from the Edmonds waterfront to Lynnwood and the Boeing Everett Factory." at the semicolon since it's quite long and deals with two different points.
    • Done
    • "Wi-Fi" is supposed to be capitalized.
    • Done
  2. It isfactually accurateandverifiable.
    a(references):b(citations toreliable sources):c(OR):
    Is there a way a source column can be added or sources added to the headers to the bus fleet table to verify the information?
    It will take a while to gather all of the data. Community Transit, unlike other PTBAs/transit authorities, does not include a standard bus roster in its state-required 5-year transit development plan. I've requested one several times and will likely need to use a FOIA request in order to obtain it (and even then, citing that would be a pain).
    Would it be acceptable to slim down the table a bit (leaving only an image, model/make, years, fleet numbers, fuel type and notes) to conform with the information presented in the ref?SounderBruce19:07, 4 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
    As long as all that information can be verified to references that is fine. The engine and transmission details are a little excess to the purpose of this article.Dough487215:25, 5 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
  3. It isbroad in its coverage.
    a(major aspects):b(focused):
    • In the lead you mention that Community Transit serves Snohomish County excluding Everett. Who operates the transit system in Everett? I would think this should be mentioned somewhere in the lead.
    • Done
    • Might want to explain what a public transportation benefit area is since it's a redlink.
    • It's explained in the first sentence of the history section. Redlink will disappear once the article is up, since it's still only a draft.
    • "SCPTBA Public Transit began operating in the cities of Brier, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Marysville, Mountlake Terrace, Snohomish and Woodway on October 4", should indicate this is in 1976 since you jump around a little bit in the first paragraph.
    • Done
    • "The buses ran for 16 hours a day, charging a base fare of 20 cents", might want to add an inflation conversion here.
    • Done
    • I would make sure to go through the article and add inflation conversions for other historical prices.
    • Done
    • Can a table be added for the vans in the vanpool fleet and the paratransit minibuses? You summarize the entire fleet above the table but only have the table covering the buses.
    • Again, this would be hard to obtain and verify, even moreso than buses that have regular press coverage for fleet additions (in the form of newspaper articles as well as press releases from manufacturers).
  4. It follows theneutral point of viewpolicy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It isstable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated byimages,where possible and appropriate.
    a(images are tagged and non-free images havefair use rationales):b(appropriate use withsuitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

I will place the articleon holdfor some fixes to be made.Dough487202:43, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Now that the source for the table has been added, I willpassthe article.Dough487200:17, 25 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

New source for consideration

@SounderBruce:great pieceon Seattle Transit Blog! Is this information more or less already in the article, or could we use your post as a source?Ibadibam(talk)19:12, 4 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Ibadibam:Thanks for the feedback. The information in both articles is practically identical, with some editoralizing on the blog piece. As STB is aself-published source,I try not to reference it in work on Wikipedia, unless there is absolutely nothing else that can be cited.SounderBruce22:19, 4 October 2016 (UTC)Reply


Where find it is new by bus then and other retired are listed also old bus source?

GA concerns and update banners

edit
Latest comment:9 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I am concerned that this article no longer meets thegood article criteriadue to the two orange "update needed" banners in the article. I looked at the sections and they do not seem to have enough information to warrant the banner's removal. Is anyone interested in addressing these concerns, or should this go toWP:GAR?Z1720(talk)22:24, 23 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Will work on this as soon as I can. I had been waiting for things to calm down so that I wouldn't need to make drastic updates every few months.SounderBruce07:15, 24 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
