[edit]

"MARTA riders are advised to keep different RFID cards apart, as placing them close together damages both and makes them effectively useless." This is completely false according to the MARTA Breeze website FAQ, question #9. Putting the cards together may make the card temporarily unreadable, but everything is fine when they are seperated.

The first paragraph says : "Breeze is currently in use at all stations and is being installed gradually on buses." Later on it says everything is now converted. Please fix the descrepancy (I am unsure if the buses are actually finished, otherwise I would change it myself). I also take issue with the "breakneck pace" description of the bus conversion. Is this necessary? Does not sound like a neutral POV.

BVM needs to be defined the first time it is used. I assume it is something like breeze vending machine.

"Limited-Use cardholders will need to keep their card when the system is fully operational, as the card will be required to 'tap out' of stations, to encode free transfers to MARTA buses, and other transit systems (GRTA Express, CCT) as they adopt the infrastructure." I have only heard discussion that Marta may require taping out if it goes to distance based fares. Please provide your source for this information as it is not listed anywhere on the official breeze website.

Overall I am confused by the level of detail in this article and the fact it reads like a MARTA press release. Is it necessary to say that the rider should keep their receipt? Perhaps I should add a line to Walmart's page suggesting that the receipt be kept in the event of a return? How is this adding to the article? Can we have an overall discussion about the purpose of spinning breeze off into another article? Is it necessary to have all of the instructions on how to use breeze? Correct me if I am wrong, but I didn't think Wikipedia articles were meant to be a step by step user's manual. Biomedeng 03:36, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

if all of these things are this problematic,why don't you edit them? anyway, they'll be solved later today(29 September). the tap out information is on breeze's site, you didn't look hard enough.
Consider it done. I intially brought my comments to the talk page to get input from the original author and others, and I did not have the time right then to give the article an overhaul. Now that I have the time I have tried my best to organize everything into different sections to distinguish the system conversion and current status from the future final product. I reworded a few things, but mostly moved things around and deleted duplicate information. I did remove the breakneck pace comment. I also put a few citation needed comments next to specific statements that I think are likely true, but need a source nonetheless. I hope that my work has helped the article, but please continue to make changes as needed. Biomedeng 01:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
