This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because…

I want to know if the functions of this transportation system are clear to users who don't use it. Also correcting gramatical errors and sentence structure would be appricated. If the information could be orginized in a better way, please put it on the discussion page.

Ruhrfisch comments: Biggest concern is the notability tag at the top of the article - if it does not establish notability, someone may nominate it for deletion. See WP:NN for notability policy. Peer review is for pointing out problems more than fixing them here. Comments go here, rather than the talk page too. Anyway, off to a good start and here are some suggestions for improving the article: Hope this helps, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 03:59, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The lead is too short and needs to be expanded to summarize the article and meet WP:LEAD
 * The article needs a copyedit - example From the 1860’s until the early 1890 college students... should be 1860s (no apostrophe) and 1890s (missing s)
 * References come right after punctuation, no space. See WP:CITE
 * Units should be given in both English and metric systems - use of convert templates helps
 * Most of the article is unreferenced and will need to have refs.
 * A model article is always useful for ideas and examples to follow - MARTA is a GA and might be of interest, or find a FA model article
 * Internet references need to include url, title, publisher, author if known, and access date.
 * Most of the current refs are to Cyride itself - see WP:RS and WP:V and find sources that are independent of Cyride.
 * Image:Isucard.gif is almost certainly copyright Cyride or Iowa State and needs a WP:Fair Use rationale.
