Looking at the pictures of the 1981 and 1985 D901 buses, did they came equipped with kneeling features as is the 1990 Flyers and 1991 Vs? I don't know if the D901s, 90 D40HFs and 91 Vs are almost accessible or something given the last two wearing the Easier Access sticker while the Flyer D901s had the THIS BUS KNEELS written in orange.

Maybe it's time for a 129E or extend some of the 199 to Kennedy.

Will I was thinking just focusing on STC to Kennedy, that's why I mentioned 21 and not 131.

This was nearly my idea I kept:

• 199A - Finch Stn.-Kennedy Stn.*
• 199B - York University-Scarborough Centre Stn. via Finch Stn.
• 199C - Finch Stn.-Morningside Heights

* This should replace the 131E cutting the 131A NUGGET back to STC. Routing extension options will be either: via Brimley and Eglinton with stops at Ellesmere, Lawrence, Eglinton/Brimley, Midland, Kennedy Stn. OR Ellesmere/Brimley, Ellesmere/Midland, Norbury, Lawrence, Wainfleet/Broadbent, Eglinton, Kennedy Stn.

Hi Mike, someone at Jacksonville, FL acquired your domain and has some educational courses. 

http://transitstop.net

Most of your items are in Transit Toroto, howeve, which I am part of. You still have the older copies of the photos, service summaries, etc.. that I can use? I may still have to credit you. 

I also found some of the pamphlets from this site in the Wayback Machine, which you guys can access it. 

More Birchmount 81xxs have the speakers.  #8108, #8143, and #8157 now possess the external announcements.

Good, less hybrids the better. I'm surprise the 1st gens aren't as bad. the 1200s appear to be the worst out of all the hybrids.

Along with the D40LFs, the 12xx and 15xx might be due for replacement as well. The body doesn't last until 18 years but its good for the second hand market. 

Good thing these NG Hybrid buses would be rebuilt at all. 

Woman snaps a photo of a man at Eglinton Stn. She then spotted the same man later.

Similarly I spotted the guy wearing a Jays jacket a while ago (Did not take a photo) on the 506 CARLTON and he was nice. Later that evening he was arrested at Coxwell for an alleged assault of a woman.

So any word on when the demolition of the old Eglinton bus bays will happen if it hasn't already happened?

IIRC, its still currently stands as it is. I went by last year and it remains intact.

Rebuilt: 1080, 1085, 1089

Unrebuilt & in service: 1082

The only ones that are not rebuilt left are #1002, #1003, #1005, #1010-#1012, #1017, #1022, #1023, #1037, #1041, #1046, #1059, #1061, #1081, #1082, #1096, #1107-#1109, #1112,#1115, #1117, #1125 and #1140? I last saw #1140 on the 39 like last February. 

IIRC, I spotted #1118 already rebuilt. Correct me if I am wrong?

Creative Commons.

And the TTC is about to get a new logo.

EDIT: Derek Flack did wrote this. But it's not official at all.

The photos of yours you claim are from Wikipedia... what licensing did you use for them?

Only one. Mine is bus #7215 I took back in 2009. The rest, I don't know. 

I also saw pics stolen from TTS, ETSPE sites and so forth.

EDIT: Uh-oh, looks like Peter, wil9402 is going to be furious if they see this:

Two years ago I stumbled upon this website:

http://ttchistory.weebly.com/ttc-1929---2014-part-5.html

Some of the photos are from Wikipedia, but mine (which I took an then posted on Wikipedia) have no right to do so. Whoever photos are those verify with me. 

TTC:

#1116 | 39 FINCH EAST
#8305 | 169 HUNTINGWOOD
#1078 [C], #1254  | 199 FINCH ROCKET

YRT:

#720 | FIBA Canning

Other:

#YT-01 (ex-York University Shuttle), #2055 (ex-Markham Transit, exx-TTC #3121) | FIBA Canning

#1116, #1145, #1223, #1254, #1283 and #1304 have the speakers installed (some are in operation).

 #8133 now has the speakers attached.

For the past few weeks, all of Birchmount's 2005 Orion VII buses have the external speakers now.

Yes the cross reference list is quite important. TTC doesn't want to pay New Flyers to be the middleman for parts when they can go get them from the original supplier. 

It would be interesting if they do a 60/60 split. NYC buys buses from both NFI and Nova but they need a heck of a lot more buses.

That above could be an option to replace the NG hybrid and older VII buses built before 2006. They might need Artics before McNicoll is in operation.

Since this 108 bus order is cosmetically the same as last years LFS order, there is still no back window at all on the first four orders. 

Looks like after 18 years, TTC could consider having an option to buy the New Flyer Xcelsiors otherwise, we will be stuck with the LFS forever.

In any TTC vehicle in general per garage or carhouse, does a dispatcher assigns a bus to an operator on a route? I've been seeing high floors (GM/Lift) on low floor routes and low floors on high floor routes in the past. Now recently, artic low floors are barely dispatched on 40' low floor routes. 

How long for a bus or streetcar stays on the route until depending on peak period or non-peak periods?
