Design company and technology

[edit]

Which company designed and runs the RFID technology being used in the good to go system?

Who wrote the software and which tags are being used?

This is all great information to have if anyone knows it.

It's a TransCore eGo system. I added that to the page. Sam8 (talk) 06:59, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good To Go! → Good to Go (toll collection system) – MOS:TM – the current title includes a decorative exclamation mark (that attempts to convey some sort of non-neutral excitement about the toll collection system) and also has unusual capitalization (cf. MOS:CT). Only one reliable source is cited in the article that uses the title phrase and is independent of the operator of the toll system itself, and that source uses "Good to Go" consistently (with no exclamation mark and a lowercase "t"). Aside from the lack of neutrality, the inclusion of the exclamation mark can make the topic name confusing to read in running text. Note that in the current version of the article, this results in an exclamation mark followed immediately by a full stop, and several exclamation marks in the middle of sentences. Also note that the current version of the article already includes three places where the "t" is lowercase, and one place where the exclamation mark is absent. All other titles found at Good to Go use a lowercase "t", so that seems to be what MOS:TM calls the "standard English text formatting and capitalization practices". —BarrelProof (talk) 17:38, 14 August 2016 (UTC) --relisting for feedback on disambiguator clarity — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 19:47, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The local media uses the generic "Good to Go" to describe the system, with the exception of articles written directly by WSDOT. Perhaps Good to Go (electronic toll system) would be a better title to fit in with other existing article titles and to reflect what WSDOT describes it as.

I still prefer "toll collection system" (or "toll system" or "tolling system") over "electronic toll system", since the latter seems like it's trying to sound fancy and high-tech. —BarrelProof (talk) 07:13, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support—to follow media usage, neutral on the exact disambiguator, but I slightly prefer SounderBruce's version over the original nominated title. Imzadi 1979 → 08:38, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support because the current title and and its use in the text as gives the appearance of Advertising! or Promotion! It seems neutrality is lost. Also, the full stop after using Good To Go! in the text makes for rougher reading. As stated above, the independent source in this Wikipedia article does not apply the exclamation point "...Thursday to sign up for a Good to Go pass in the..." and "...a windshield-mounted Good to Go transponder...". As can be seen, this is applying normal syntax conventions that people are used to reading. And, as noted above, this is supported by MOS:TM. Conversely, the exclamation marks in the middle of sentences are not helpful. We must keep in mind we are imparting information to an audience. I prefer the proposed descriptor in the title because it is neutral wording, as preferred by Wikipedia, and seems to be in agreement with the criteria for naming. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 22:46, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
