Blue Bus Fan

I still stand by what I said earlier with the D40LFR / C40LFR swap and having the parts of the new order operating out of STC.

I do not understand what you mean by swap D40LFR /C40LFR. Do you mean convert C40LFR to diesel fuel?

Here is a list on what airports they will use in Canada:

http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/5404981/. I hopefully they use them on Vancouver International Airport to Toronto Pearson airport.

I'm a tad confused about this.

There's trolley wires on Hastings Street and the 160 operates CNG on Hastings Street.

I think they mean in Vancouver Transit Centre because it has a lot of Trolley wires in it.

Really not the best idea. If you want to do that, wait till we get some double decker ferries, or 5 minute frequencies on the Seabus. Then talk about sending thousands over to Lonsdale. Also, the loop at Lonsdale can't handle another ten buses. By the way, where's the Loins Gate Bridge? Never heard of it..

Let me get this straight... you want to funnel thousands of riders onto a 15 min service. In the hopes that it increase frequency and service... you're insane. And we already have services that do that. Its called. The 239. Also the seabus is messed up during peak hours as it is now!!

Lets see all the SeaBuses hold 400 passengers which currently shuttles 1600 passenger a cross the water per hour which is six days a week in off peak season. The buses would bring to the dock: 115 passenger per trip for West Vancouver D60LFR, 77 per trip for D40LF and 82 passenger per trip Nova LFS.

If they made 10 minute service seven days a week unlit 7:30 the SeaBus could 2400 passenger a cross the water per hour which is a lot of people.

Very Nice. I really like Coastal Celebration. I was on her three years ago.

 

Thank you. This what cost saving has done to route one two Coastals as the main boats not the Spirits only during off peak seasons.

Most arctics that I am reading about CNG is saying that Surrey may get Natural Gas Fuelling Station which I guess TransLink may bring CNG buses to Surrey.

This article also says Hamilton transit centre may get CNG. Vancouver Sun: http://www.vancouver...1791/story.html

The Vancouver Sun article says that CNG will not save money and will waste more money bring it in. Is this true that CNG will not save money in the long run?

I think West Vancouver Blue Bus should change routes that currently service Downtown Vancouver. By making the routes go to Lonsdale Quay because the Lions Gate Bridge seems to have a lot of problems with accidents closing the bridge this would be good. I think that would help make the SeaBus more frequent since more passenger would be using it.

All route one vessels excluding the Queen of New Westminster.







The Spirit of British Columbia is tied up until December, 20 2013.





The Spirit of Vancouver Island is the third boat on the route until December 20.

Some photos of the new double decker that where domes from OC- Transpo.

My favourite for December. Coastal Celebration:

BC Transit 9103 a DE40LF:

The 188 is going to see an early last trip seven days; which leaves the Port Coquiltam station 9:22 pm and leaves Coquiltam station at 8:40 pm. Will they use D40LF and C40LFR on the route?

Updated on December 1st. This update is from my Victoria trip.

I was looking through my window but only saw the back of the bus but hopefully it was like a training as this route needs artics during peak times. Hopefully with the December service change the 5 - 8 min frequency will help the crowds. But the rear route sign read NIS if I'm correct.

What route requires 60 ft that goes to Scott Road Station?

I think the 502, some on 501, hopefully this will becomes true in a few years.

TransLink loved NovaBuses enough to get New Flyer Xcelsiors in their most recent orders... >_>

Depends on what buses they are liking more. 60ft buses TransLink loves New Flyer.

So, who will get the last LFR off the line? Will it be the City of Phoenix?

It might be Sound Transit.

I do not mind New Flyer Industries not offering the LFR because I like the Xcelsior better.

True most people hate the Novas but I can see your point send back a 2000 or 2001 D40LF instead

But BC Transits and TransLink love Novas but some people do not like them.

I was at OTC last week and saw these buses there.

Seems like the City of Surrey is looking towards the federals for funding towards the LRT projects.

Dammit double post

I think it should be SkyTrain.

See reason in this thread: http://www.cptdb.ca/index.php?showtopic=15812.

 

Ben Williams, president of CAW 333 in Victoria, maintains the hydrogen buses should be scrapped and the money used to provide transit in other areas of the province, such as Victoria. It added it doesn’t make sense to haul fuel from Quebec when the idea is to run the buses to reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions.

Why can BC Transit not convert the buses into diesel or hybrid? They could still use the buses at reduce costs.

9434 is Victoria's Santa Bus, so I'm not sure if it will be out at all next weekend. Just check the website to see if any events are coming up. If the Santa Bus does any revenue runs, they usually post the schedule on the BCT website as well, but in the past that only happens for one or two days in mid-December

I do think the Santa Bus is in service. How do I check if it is in service?

If you are looking for them on Saturday and Sunday, stick to the 50, 61, 70 and 72. 90% of the decker work on weekends is on these routes.

If on a Friday or Monday (or any weekday for that matter) they run regularly on the 4, 14, 16, 21, 26, 50, 51, 61, 70, 72.

Ok thank you. What routes does 9343 operate on during the weekend?

Lost my wallet during a driving lesson. Hopefully my driving teacher finds it.

Cars 7-8 are repainted. Saw them early this week at OMC.

Any other pair getting ready to be refurbish or has been refurbish?
