We all have our favourites to like and to dislike. The most comfortable seem to be the new shorter 1840-series, the worst when there is crowding seem to be the NOVAs as they lack horizontal near ceiling handle-bars at the front of the bus; my best rides over the past few months have been 0520 and 0706. But all that said my favourite bus is the one that is on-time.

Don't the NOVA 3400's do that at every stop when the diesel side goes quiet? A media event might be useful but with the current Toronto-Ontario fight over the TTC and the funding for all municipal transit in the province, an electric bus and all it"s wares might be overshadowed.

Will the rebuild of Jane Station's bus bays mean artics on 35 and/or 935 and where will they come from (perhaps 36B)?

May 8: GOBUS: 8387 - 27C TTC: 3400 - 939B (sounds like a muffler inspection is needed) 9114 - 36B, 9108 - 36A, 3140 - 36, 3487 - 939B, 9112 - 36B, 3214 - 35S, 3236 - 935S, 3207 - 935, 3239 - 165, 3259 - 96B, 8083 - 45, 8412 - 45A, 9129 - 36B, 3271 - 927D, 3314 - 927D, 3198 - 927B, 3282 - 927B, 3246 - 927B Brampton Transit - 1782 - 511A, 1215 - 51, 1292 - 511 YRT - 1422 & 1432 on 7 MiWay - 0608 - 22, 1140 - 57

Seems TTC is running 186 and 996 today. Some buses are signed 186 Wilson Rocket others 996 Wilson Express. Some stops are signed 186, others 996.

can anyone explain the logic behind the NOVA moves to/from/to Birchmount?

The heritage cars carry external numbers 4500 & 4549 but have internal fleet numbers in the H15-class.

They ARE safe. Just the newer cars have CEM - it wouldn't be possible to replace from 2000 to 28xx in one order. I saw an eastbound LE train pass over Queen St. E today with a 2xx cabcar.

What series are these cars in WiKi appears to only go to 366?

driver on 502 this am said walkie-talkies are coming in two weeks.

Last rode 0520 on Jan-10-2019 on 23. was a real nice ride downhill to McNabb .... might outlast some of the younger units

I see that 0520 soldiers on. Today working 11-PARKDALE. Is it truly the last of it's class?

Was by Russell this morning and noticed a few ALRVs in the three most westerly storage tracks with their headlights on. Is there a reason for this?
