All Activity

1610 & 1715 are the 2 YRT Holiday Wrapped buses for this year.

A couple slices of Prosciutto & Mushroom pizza with sunny side up eggs on top, and a Spinach/Romaine salad with red seedless grapes.

Lakeshore West train using old cab car 252 in the lead. I'm not sure when I last saw one of these leading a LW train.

Past tests have shown that articulated buses are not necessary on the 803. Forty-foot buses running every 10 minutes do the job. I've never seen an 803 packed with people standing.

It'll be on Route 93 between now and 8pm. https://www.transsee.ca/tripsched?a=octranspo&t=7667050&date=2025-11-20#block

Those arent electric. Ford doesnt make electric Escapes. The closest to electric is a plug in hybrid

2152 in service this afternoon on the 85. Spotted on Carling at Westgate at 2.40.

For the sole reason that they seem to have been copied from the D40LF, which credit to @T3G was just an adaptation of Den Oudsten buses, but an utterly uninspiried abomination. A Nova beats a Gillig anyday, considering they're backed by Volvo.

Behold! A Mount Dennis special seen on 1332 today.

It is on private property of a cabnit manufatoring plant and is sadly not acsessable to the public, although thats probably a good thing or else it would be in much worse shape.

Bad example, what I said about the H5s applies to all Hawkers in general, but especially the H5/6s. The M1s are saved, so being proprietary or not is irrelevant to them. The H1–4s were mechanically almost identical to the M1s so they weren't quite proprietary in that regard (they certainly were in terms of exterior design though), and that also allowed them to survive as work cars. The H5/6s were mechanically proprietary even compared to H1–4s and sadly that ultimately ended up sinking both of them. Probably would be something like a 2-car TR set. The T1 order was placed in 1992 i believe, so it only took 5 years to catch all the bugs. So again, it's perfectly reasonable to expect the new order to be placed asap and all potential bugs to be caught by 2030 when full delivery should be underway.

Why do you dislike Gillig? Their buses are fine if a bit boring

Got some eggs and liverwurst from The Butchery. Stayed for lunch, had a Cubano Torpedo Sub w/ Fries & dip. Washed it down with an Annex Brewery Porter.

Do they have the new plexiglass barriers installed on them?

Do you know where this is located and if it is publicly accessible?

Oh, I don't know. I don't think anyone in Kingston was confused by these buses:

No, I can expect projects to be done on time and on budget. That was a promise because the City of Ottawa hired "the best" and "the experts". Further, I can expect projects not to run 50-70% over their expected timelines. In the cases of Stages 1 and 2, we were sold "false bills of sale". Further, these are light rail systems. I should expect that they function as LRT (streetcars) is old technology. Somehow, turns are an issue... The experts we paid planned and built those turns and are surprised about the performance of the trains. The City of Ottawa (as the accountable party) failed us. I expect modernization to be difficult. When we hire and pay for experts, I expect expert results.
