Actually the sprinter trains have no special equipment or mods to make them wheelchair friendly. Also, charging more during peak hours would be like taxing people for having a normal day job. And seriously, it's total BS when they say they can't afford to hook up a second train set during a few trips on peak hours. They run doubles on the weekends all day, and even though the service is hourly instead of every half, weekends aren't as busy, especially at 5 in the morning on Sunday. Like it was said previously, they need to revise the planning. Plus, the systems is new. It usually takes a year to perfect everything.
