Ukuphoqelelwa okuthuthukisiwe kuqala ngoFebhuwari 1 futhi kuhloswe ngakho ukunqanda okunye ukungena ngokungemthetho futhi kwandise ukuphepha eceleni komzila wesitimela we-COASTER
Oceanside, CA - Kusukela ngoMsombuluko, ngoFebhuwari 1, 2021, iNorth County Transit District (NCTD) izothuthukisa imfundo nokungena ngokungemthetho emgudwini wesitimela osogwini lwaseSan Diego ngaphambi kwezinhlelo zayo zokubeka izitimela ezinhlanu ezintsha zeNokia Charger ukuze zenze imali ngoFebhuwari 8, 2021. Izitimela ezintsha zikanokusho yizinjini ezihamba ngodizili ezihlangabezana nalawo mazinga amasha okukhipha umoya, iTier 4. Ngaphezu kokuba nobungani bemvelo, izitimela ezintsha zithule kakhulu kunezitimela zamanje zakwa-F-40 eziyinzuzo emphakathini kodwa futhi kugqamisa ubungozi bokungena ngokungemthetho kujantshi usendleleni.
UPhiko lwezokuThuthukiswa kwezokuThuthukiswa koMphakathi eSan Diego County (TESU) luzokhuphula ubukhona babo emzileni wesitimela saseLos Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) phakathi kwe-Oceanside neSan Diego. Ezemfundo zizoba yingxenye esemqoka yalo mkhankaso ngamasekela afundisa abephula umthetho ngengozi yezitimela nezitimela ezidlulayo. Amaphesenti aphezulu ezingozi nokufa okwenzeka emzileni wesitimela kuyavikeleka futhi akuhlobene nemizamo yokuzibulala. I-NCTD ihlose ukufundisa umphakathi ngokuphepha kwezitimela ukugwema lezi zingozi ezimbi.
Njengoba kudingeka, amasekela angaphoqelela izinhlawulo zalabo abenza okuphambene nomthetho ku-NCTD. Abantu abakhonjwe ukuwela imizila ngokungemthetho noma ngokungena ngokungemthetho ngaphakathi kojantshi besendleleni bangabhekana nezinhlawulo zobugebengu ezingaholela ekuhlawulisweni kuze kufike ku- $ 500 futhi kungahle kube izinyanga eziyisithupha ejele.
"Akukaze kube umqondo omuhle ukuwela ujantshi wesitimela ngaphandle kokuthi uwela ngokusemthethweni," kusho uSean Loofbourrow, oyiNhloko Yezokuphepha eNCTD. “Ukungena ngaphesheya kojantshi wesitimela kungaholela ezingozini ezimbi eziveza umthelela omkhulu wokuhlukumezeka emphakathini omkhulu. OFakazi, abasebenzi bezitimela, amalungu omndeni, abangani nabagibeli bonke bayathinteka kulezi zingozi ezimbi. Ukunethezeka kwesikhashana kokuwela ujantshi ngokungemthetho akufanele neze ubeke engcupheni ukuphepha kwakho namakhulu abanye. ”
Lapho isitimela sima endaweni ephuthumayo ngenxa yokweqa abangena emgwaqeni noma eduze kwethrekhi, kunengozi yokulimala kubagibeli nabasebenzi bezitimela ababengalindelanga ukuthi bangama ngokungazelelwe. Ngaphezu kobungozi bokulimala, izitobhi eziphuthumayo zidinga ukuhlolwa kwesitimela, isigaba sesitimela okwenzeke kuso, nokuhlolwa komoya ukuqinisekisa ukuthi amabhuleki asebenza kahle. Lokhu akugcini ngokubambezela isitimela ngazinye, kepha futhi nezinye izinsiza ezisephaseji wesitimela. Lokhu kungaholela ekutheni kube nomthwalo wezomnotho kubagibeli abangakwazi ukuya emsebenzini, kanye nezindleko kubakhokhi bentela abakhokhela ukuhlolwa okudingekayo.
I-NCTD isebenza ngesevisi yesitimela yabagibeli be-COASTER nsuku zonke emhubheni ongasogwini lwaseSan Diego. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abalingani bakajantshi be-NCTD u-Amtrak, uMetrolink, kanye ne-BNSF baphinde banikeze ngezitimela zabagibeli nezinsizakalo zezimpahla nsuku zonke ngalezi zindlela. Umzila wesitimela i-LOSSAN ungowesitimela wesibili othwala abantu abaningi e-United States.
