{{Short description|Commuter rail service in San Diego County, California}}
'''Coaster''', in Eigenschreibweise '''COASTER''', ist eine Vorortbahnlinie (Commuter Rail) entlang der Pazifikküste zwischen [[Oceanside (Kalifornien)|Oceanside]] und [[San Diego]] im [[San Diego County]] im [[Vereinigte Staaten|US]]-Bundesstaat [[Kalifornien]]. Die Strecke wird von [[North County Transit District]] (NCTD) betrieben. Die Züge halten an acht Stationen entlang der 66 Kilometer langen Strecke und benötigen etwas mehr als eine Stunde. Der Betrieb findet vor allem in der [[Hauptverkehrszeit]] statt. Am Mittag, am Wochenende und in den Ferien gibt es nur einzelne Fahrten. Seit der Inbetriebnahme am 27. Februar 1995 nimmt die Zahl der Fahrgäste zu. Im Jahr 2021 nutzten rund 374 000 Fahrgäste die Linie.

== Geschichte ==
'''Coaster''' (stylized as '''COASTER''') {{Reporting mark|NCTC}} is a [[commuter rail]] service that operates in the central and [[North County, San Diego|northern coastal]] regions of [[San Diego County, California]], United States. [[Bombardier Transportation]] currently operates the service on contract with the Coaster's owner, the [[North County Transit District]] (NCTD). The {{convert|41|mile|adj=on}} commuter rail line features eight stops, with a travel time of about an hour and five minutes end-to-end. The service operates primarily during weekday peak periods, with limited midday, weekend and holiday service. The Coaster first entered service on February 27, 1995, and has since grown in ridership and capacity.
Das ''North San Diego County Transit Development Board'' wurde 1975 gegründet, um den [[Öffentlicher Verkehr|öffentlichen Verkehr]] im Norden des San Diego County zu verbessern. Die Planung für eine Vorortstrecke von San Diego nach Oceanside begann 1982 unter dem Namen '''Coast Express Rail'''.<ref name="history">{{Cite web |title=NCTD: Past, Present and Future |date=2013-01 |publisher=North County Transit District |url=http://www.gonctd.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/012313-NCTD_Past_Present_and_Future.pdf |accessdate=2013-09-08 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170525211456/http://www.gonctd.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/012313-NCTD_Past_Present_and_Future.pdf |archivedate=2017-05-25 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Die neu geschaffene San Diego Northern Railway Corporation (SDNR) kaufte 1994 den in San Diego County liegenden Abschnitt der Surf Line und eine weitere Strecke für den [[NCTD Sprinter|Sprinter]] von der [[Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway|Santa Fe Railway]].

=== Fares and ticketing ===
The cost of Coaster tickets is based upon the number of [[zone pricing|zones traveled]] (see map). Fare collection is based on a [[proof-of-payment]] system: tickets must be purchased before boarding and are checked by roving [[Revenue Protection Inspector|fare inspectors]]. [[Monthly pass]]es are available. All tickets and passes include transfer agreements with NCTD BREEZE buses and monthly passes include transfer with the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) buses and Trolleys. On January 20, 2011, the NCTD implemented a fare reduction, which to increased ridership on the Coaster and so was made permanent in September 2011. {{As of|September 2019}}, regular one-way fares are as follows:<ref>{{Cite web |year=2019 |title=Coaster Fares and Passes |url=https://gonctd.com/fares/fares-passes/ |access-date=September 3, 2019 |publisher=North County Transit District}}</ref>

*Within one zone: $5
*Within two zones: $5.75
*Within three zones: $6.50

With proof of eligibility, senior citizens (ages 60 and over), people with disabilities, and Medicare cardholders receive a 50% discount on the above fares.

Riding the Coaster without a valid ticket may result in a [[penalty fare]] of up to $250. Riders cannot purchase tickets on board the train.

==== Pronto Fare System / Former Compass System ====

{{Main|Pronto_(smart_card){{!}}Pronto Card}}

The Coaster, along with all other [[NCTD]] and [[San Diego Metropolitan Transit System|MTS]] services, utilizes the new [[Pronto (smart card)|Pronto contactless fare system]] introduced in September 2021 by INIT Systems and [[SANDAG]]; the Pronto system succeeded the [[Compass Card (San Diego)|first-generation Compass Card system]]."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Public Meeting For Proposed Fare Changes |url=https://www.sdmts.com/sites/default/files/fare_change_public_meetings.pdf |access-date=April 2, 2021 |website=San Diego Metropolitan Transit System Information |publisher=San Diego Metropolitan Transit System}}</ref> As a replacement for the original "Compass Card," the Pronto fare system allows for a tap-on, tap-off approach, so riders on the Coaster can tap-on when entering the station platform (using one of the station's validators), and tap-off when arriving at the destination stop, in order to deduct the correct fare.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Goodbye Compass – Hello PRONTO! |url=https://www.sdmts.com/inside-mts-current-projects/pronto-fare-system |access-date=April 2, 2021 |website=San Diego Metropolitan Transit System Information |publisher=San Diego Metropolitan Transit System}}</ref> However, unlike other NCTD and MTS services, Pronto users for Coaster are required to purchase Day or Monthly Passes prior to riding due to different electronic ticket requirements.<ref>{{Cite web |title=PRONTO Fares |url=https://gonctd.com/fares/pronto/ |access-date=September 5, 2021 |website=North County Transit District – NCTD |publisher=North County Transit District}}</ref> These passes along with general Pronto cards can be physically purchased at Pronto ticket vending machines at NCTD facilities, or in customer service centers; electronic versions can be purchased through the website or through the mobile applications.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Frequently Asked Questions – PRONTO |url=https://www.ridepronto.com/help/ |access-date=September 5, 2021 |website=Ride PRONTO |publisher=PRONTO}}</ref>

{{Main|Compass Card (San Diego){{!}}Compass Card}}

The Coaster previously utilized the aforementioned contactless "Compass Card", made possible by [[Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc.]] The "Compass Card" allowed passengers from MTS and NCTD to store regional transit passes and cash value on a rewritable [[RFID]] card. Customers would have purchased passes and added cash value on the Internet or at any ticket vending machine. Prior to boarding a train, customers tapped their Compass Cards on the ticket validator located on the train platform.

In July 2020, the NCTD Board approved the purchase of eleven new Bombardier BiLevel passenger cars (consisting of eight coaches and three crash-energy management cab-cars) that will be used to add two trainsets to regular service and support [[SANDAG]] expansion upon delivery in late 2022.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Sklar |first=Debbie |title=Bombardier Signs Contract with NCTD for the Supply of BiLevel Commuter Rail Cars |url=https://timesofsandiego.com/business/2020/07/16/bombardier-signs-contract-with-nctd-for-the-supply-of-bilevel-commuter-rail-cars/ |access-date=November 30, 2020 |website=Times of San Diego |publisher=Times of San Diego LLC}}</ref> The base order also includes options for 27 additional cars, but such options have not currently been exercised.<ref name="ut 7/20">{{Cite web |date=July 22, 2020 |title=NCTD to replace aging Coaster train fleet |url=https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/north-county/oceanside/story/2020-07-22/nctd-to-replace-aging-coaster-fleet |access-date=July 26, 2020 |publisher=San Diego Union-Tribune}}</ref>

In August 2018, NCTD announced that they were seeking public opinions and input on a re-brand of the agency, and ran online polls for the public to vote on a new livery for Coaster equipment.

=== Yards ===
NCTD maintains and utilizes two rail yards for the Coaster. The main maintenance and storage yard, located at Stuart Mesa on [[Camp Pendleton]], is just north of the Oceanside Transit Center station. This is where locomotives, coaches, and cab-cars are stored for the night, and where trains are serviced and maintained. NCTD also utilizes Tracks 25, 26 and 27 of the [[San Diego Trolley]] yard at [[12th & Imperial Transit Center|12th and Imperial]] in [[Downtown San Diego]] to store trains during the midday and for weekday train staging; as aforementioned previously, this yard is shared with the San Diego Trolley and the [[San Diego and Imperial Valley Railroad]].

Coaster mit Charger-Diesellokomotive und BiLevel-Doppelstockwagen

Coaster, in Eigenschreibweise COASTER, ist eine Vorortbahnlinie (Commuter Rail) entlang der Pazifikküste zwischen Oceanside und San Diego im San Diego County im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien. Die Strecke wird von North County Transit District (NCTD) betrieben. Die Züge halten an acht Stationen entlang der 66 Kilometer langen Strecke und benötigen etwas mehr als eine Stunde. Der Betrieb findet vor allem in der Hauptverkehrszeit statt. Am Mittag, am Wochenende und in den Ferien gibt es nur einzelne Fahrten. Seit der Inbetriebnahme am 27. Februar 1995 nimmt die Zahl der Fahrgäste zu. Im Jahr 2021 nutzten rund 374 000 Fahrgäste die Linie.

Geschichte

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Das North San Diego County Transit Development Board wurde 1975 gegründet, um den öffentlichen Verkehr im Norden des San Diego County zu verbessern. Die Planung für eine Vorortstrecke von San Diego nach Oceanside begann 1982 unter dem Namen Coast Express Rail.[1] Die neu geschaffene San Diego Northern Railway Corporation (SDNR) kaufte 1994 den in San Diego County liegenden Abschnitt der Surf Line und eine weitere Strecke für den Sprinter von der Santa Fe Railway.

Der Betrieb des Coaster begann am 27. Februar 1995 mit Personal von Amtrak.[2][3] 2006 übernahm TransitAmerica Services den Betrieb[4], 2016 folgte Bombardier Transportation.[5] Im Dezember 2018 wurde Positive Train Control auf der gesamten Strecke installiert.[6]
