D40-90

I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but the new Bluffers park route will be 175 Bluffers Park, based out of Birchmount.

CEO report

TTC April 11th meeting Hybrid Electric buses coming in. Info matches up with this info...

TTC buses already? I thought they were suppose to start in Sept? Nova is getting a head start. Any changes with the TTC units?

http://www.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Commission_reports_and_information/Commission_meetings/2018/March_20/Reports/10_New_TTC_Services_Southwest_Toronto.pdf About time. hopefully both are successful

I would like my account deleted, Thanks!

The more info the better

If I had the choice, Id rather Miway, better buses, not always in the media. The routes are suburban so nice and wide roads. if the pay and benefits is the same then just stay with Miway. TTC operators clearly have no respect from the public, compared to Miway. I'm sure after a few years at TTC you'd be grumpy. Based on my experience, Miway operators look more happier than TTC operators. So clearly there's a morale problem at TTC, For whatever reason. Plus I hear you get discounts with city service in Mississauga , where TTC employees don't have that same benefit with city of Toronto programs. I hear the pension is based of the 4 best years at TTC, where Miway, its based of just the 40hrs a week? Someone would need to clarify. But I would pick Miway over TTC. Why risk it . Yea MTD may be close to home, but can you not move to Mississauga? TTC operators look deflated , or some psychological issue, I'm not trying to be mean, but clearly something is wrong at TTC. The fact that they look away when people board compared to other transit agency is a red flag.

Yes, your right. Especially if its still in the procurement stage, there should be some caution in what's discussed or released. there can be legal ramification.

Some of Info was actually discussed at one of the TTC board meetings. So its public information.

I'm sure their decision will change on retiring the Artics, its still almost 10 years away. But then again they will be 12-13 years old at that time. Will the Nova buses coming in after the 9200s be the last bus order before another RFP is sent out

The 77/7800 need replacement so more 8100 and 8300, or 9200 at Birchmount

Looks like Birchmount will still need more buses to replace all the 77/7800s. I guess more 8100 from Wilson, and more 8700s from Eglinton. I guess the numbers will be 9200-9424.

Based on the CEO report, Bmount will get 33 of the 8720-8964 fleet. And 95 of the 9200 fleet. Arrow will get 230 buses in 2018 http://www.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Commission_reports_and_information/Commission_meetings/2018/January_18/Reports/1_Chief_Executive_Officers_Report-January__2018_Update_(3).pdf Page 69 of 90

They were doing it for the last 3 years. I guess it was the media outlets forcing it out of TTC through the FOI.
