Transit Systems → Transit Systems (company) – Disambiguation necessary, the present name is way too generic. – Train2104 (t • c) 15:01, 3 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Oppose as unnecessary overprecision. There's no other article that would take the name, especially with the capitalized S, and no point leaving the more natural and concise name as a redirect to the longer one. The generic title would be transit systems, which is unused at the moment. Station1 (talk) 05:13, 5 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

I agree that the shorter name should not redirect to the longer one - is this a case where WP:DIFFCAPS applies? I'm not sure. – Train2104 (t • c) 17:57, 5 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Because the capital S indicates a proper name, this would be a textbook case of DIFFCAPS if there was another article about the generic concept. Note that transit system (singular and lower case) is already a redirect to public transport, as are mass transit system and public transit system, while rapid transit system redirects to rapid transit.

Support in principle; one of those cases where the capital doesn't sufficiently disambiguate in my mind, and so an alternate title is needed. That said, in the spirit of WP:NATURALDIS, I'd recommend "Transit Systems Pty Ltd.", using the suffix as a natural disambiguator, which is valid under WP:NCCORP. oknazevad (talk) 17:29, 7 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Oppose for reasons given by User:Station1, A quick look through the articles that link [1] indicates no major problem exists, most being transport related articles in the areas the company operates. Seems we are chasing a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist. Veinelaine (talk) 02:39, 10 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Oppose per WP:PTM. Transit Systems Sydney is only a subsidiary of Transit Systems. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 02:47, 11 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
