8195 RAD on 505 Dundas.

With VISION being down all day it got me wondering, do operators carry tetra radios with them? Every bus I took today had their TCH units stuck on reboot which means no way of communicating with transit control. Surely their would be backups in place for events like this.

The fare card readers are Famoco FX920s.

Well I just heard a 506 Yorkdale on the subway platform so I guess they still use it if they don’t answer their radio.

This might help you guys find it.

Interesting discovery of 4486 which is the test subject for VISION. It has a TCH display but doesn’t use the announcement software like the buses. It still uses Bombardier’s system. It also doesn’t show stop requested or OP ID#.

Here’s a picture of what it looks like on 4486.

Looks like 4486 which is the VISION prototype has re-entered service. Keep an eye on 4427. Car suffered damage from a failed pantograph while in service on Spadina.

Looks like the flexities see through cab is being refitted with black panels. Only a part of cab door is still see through on car 4564.

The OCS has been slowly replaced. Broadview to Church has all been converted with the exception of the curve between Sherbourne and Jarvis.

There was an out of service TR On Line 2 just now. Reverse back westbound from the eastbound platform.

3729 in service on route 6 Bay.

Here.

Stuart Green posted on Twitter that a Proterra is suppose to enter service on the weekend.

Anyone noticed how they sent 4204 away with Presto equipment still on it? I don’t supposed Metrolinx is donating their own working property away.
