  1. To correct a detail in this earlier post, 4582 has been operating all day between Dufferin Gate and Broadview Station, which is the 504B route.
  2. Posted 11 August 2012 - 12:24 AM pc8556, on 10 August 2012 - 10:41 PM, said: 7A " St Clair- Dufferin (later Caledonia via Glencairn Nov 2,1964) 7E "Wilmington-Bathurst Stn" May 11,1968 7F "Steeles-Exhibition" (The extension of the "D" service Nov 22,1980 The 7F was a correct branch of the BATHURST BUS route in the pre-Blue Night days, but it had a very limited schedule. This service operated on Sunday morning roughly between 6AM and 9AM. It was also used for two trips each night, to run the overnight buses down from Steeles all the way to the Exhibition. But in practice I'm sure the Operator put up the 7D sign at Steeles, and didn't change it for the remainder of the shift.
  3. Thanks for the info. Sounds like the six pack of tickets is very similar to the old tickets, AND it will act as my transfer to a second (and third?) bus. Hope the STM staff is friendly to enthusiasts with cameras, as I'll try to get a few pics in the Metro stations.
  4. Good to see the 747 route is up and running, as my American friends will be visiting in a couple weeks. And I note the schedule was improve since April. For the first day of touring I know the Day Pass is required for the 747 and good for the rest of the day. Later on I plan to buy 6 rides for $13.25. Is this just like the old fashioned tickets where I can split them up, one for each person? I'm hoping to stay away from the OPUS card and any extra fees to buy this card. Thanks.
  5. Is there a good transit connection on STM from the Trudeau airport to the Metro? I know there is an express bus to downtown, but I'm looking for a less expensive service. And for a trip up to the St.Jovite area I see that Galland operates a few trips each day. Are there any other scheduled operators on this route? Does anyone do the direct route between St. Jovite and Ottawa? Thanks for you info.
  6. Back when service operated north of Bloor to Dundas all trip ran via Old Mill Station and this route had the only destination signs for one direction only, rather than one sign for both directions. During off-peak hours all buses ran between Dundas and Humber with these signs: PRINCE EDWARD 66B Humber Via Old Mill Stn. to Dundas PRINCE EDWARD 66C Dundas Via Old Mill Stn. to Humber During the peaks, operation was split at Old Mill Station and these two signs were used: PRINCE EDWARD 66 Dundas Old Mill Stn. PRINCE EDWARD 66A Humber Old Mill Stn. When the Park Lawn service came along, it used the next letter: PRINCE EDWARD 66D Old Mill Stn. Lakeshore
  7. Many trips in the evening run between Bathurst Station and Steeles VIA ST CLAIR WEST STN.
  8. The service increases starting Feb 17th are to relieve overcrowding. This should not be confused with the 100 buses for peak period RGS, which will be used to improve service at a later date.
  9. Any idea where I can find a recent roster for Burlington Transit buses? Thanks gv
