Talk:Route 50 (AC Transit)

It does seem odd that Line 50 (it should be "Line 50" not "Route 50" anyway) needs its own page. Aaronrp 00:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I moved the material from the AirBART page, where it was occupying a sizeable portion of the page despite not being part of the AirBART service. The editor who was posting seemed very keen on keeping the info available on Wikipedia, so I made new page to avoid potential edit wars...--Jfruh (talk) 05:02, 27 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Can't this be merged into AC Transit? I don't think this article would survive an RFD - might even fall to a speedy. Bayberrylane 07:20, 27 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I think so. I added fare information on the AC Transit page so that doesn't need to be duplicated. Aaronrp 00:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, I think with the adding of the text on the airport at the top, everything worth keeping on this page is now on the AC Transit page. I will change the this page to be a redirect to AC Transit in a few days unless there is objection. Aaronrp 01:41, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * If you do, can we at least have a few more details of it to the AirBART page? I am not the editor mentioned above, but it is notable (I think) that there is a cheaper transit option between BART and the airport.  It does not have to be overpowering like it may have been, but just some basic tidbits (i.e. fare). Jason McHuff 06:27, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I see that after you wrote that, you added some appropriate text on the AirBART page. I assume you feel that is sufficient to allow the removal of this page at some point soon. Aaronrp 19:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Unless individual bus routes are considered notable, this article can indeed be deleted. I hope that I have instituted a good compromise--put the finer details (such as specific fares, which can change and probably aren't encyclopedic) in Wikitravel or somewhere and have notable/interesting tidbits (such as one way is generally cheaper) in the AirBART and airport articles.

 * I don't think individual bus routes are particularly notable, although I might have said that about individual subway stations, and they do seem to have pages, for whatever reason (e.g., Van Cortlandt Park–242nd Street (IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line). Maybe we should have a whole wiki set up just for that. Wouldn't "Wikibus" bring the whole wiki thing full circle?
 * Seriously, I will change this page to be a redirect to AC Transit next week unless there are complaints. Aaronrp 00:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
