It was suggested by one edit that the title of this article should be Transportation at Super Bowl XLVIII. I have reverted it because this article is not just about any generic transportation plan for the Super Bowl, but it is specific to focus on mass transit for the first time. Many references in the inline citations use the "mass transit Super Bowl" as the term for this plan. We need to use this term as the title name of this article. Now that the BOLD action has been reverted. Following the Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, any disagreement should be discussed here before making change again.

The main issue with this article is that it reads too much like a travel guide, and contains information that, in my opinion, does not need to be discussed in such a detailed fashion. Even though the plans have been discussed by reliable sources, much of it may not be as relevant after the game. I think we would be better off condensing this as part of the main article ViperSnake151 Talk 17:27, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Seems like every media outlet has coverage on severe transit problems both before and after the game. The "Missing information" template has been added to the article. UW Dawgs ( talk) 13:23, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
