I just added a bunch of links to my site. If anyone wants a link to their site throw it on here.

Ok, I just uploaded the last video of the 1C Express ride. Hope you like it. Also I added 2 pics of a one way ticket for seniors/students an d2 pics of 2 different transfers.

MT0603- Actually Transit Windsor is, not me. If you go on Transit Windsor's site and go to ride guide, then transit terminals, it will have the downtown terminal with the 10 routes listed that go there, and right under that it will talk about the new city centre being built on the old Canadian Tire grounds furthur west of the current downtown terminal. Nick-Transit Windsor has 99 transit buses(all 40ft except for 2 buses-30ft ez rider IIs) plus 20 buses(starcraft) IIRC for the lowest ridership routes/non peak times. They want to expand that to 109 buses and expand services into Lasalle and Tecumseh, 2 towns that border Windsor(literally) with 30,000 and 24,000 people respectively. The EZ Riders are low floor, so I don't understand that either. I've been in 702 to take pics and videos, and there is a wheelchair ramp at the front. Just curious, how many people on here live in Windsor? So far that I know of it's just me, girardin_71, and I think Paco, your from Windsor too IIRC. Anybody else?
-
Ya, I take the 1C express everyday and I saw 2 VIIs and a bunch of classics(4-5) sitting on the east side of the garage maybe waiting for parts.

Also in that case, it wouldn't be in the regular TW livery either. It would be for BRT(if its artics) and it would have it's own livery for BRT. It says in their(TW) that the BRT would be artics and not 40ft buses. That would be neat to have D40LFs. I can ride D40LFs right now in Detroit for 3.50 from Windsor, but I would need a damn good reason to get over the border. Even then, I'd more than likely get an RTS. I would just have to transfer from TW to DDOT and ride some D40LFs around. And I'm thinking of going to the new CCT(city centre terminal/new downtown bus terminal) this weekend to get some pics of how its doing so far. I got pics not too long ago of it, don't know if I posted them on here.Oh ya...for all the terminals in Windsor, we can call them these for short. Downtown Bus Terminal=DBT Tecumseh Mall Bus Terminal=TMT Devonshire Mall Bus Terminal=DMT New Downtown Bus Terminal=CCT(city centre terminal) College Ave Terminal=CAT
-
Ya more than likely, I ride them almost everyday and see them everywhere I go, same with the 7s and 6s though, the workhorses of the fleet with the classics.
-
Ya I remember you saying that earlier. It just might be New Flyer this time, I guess we won't know till we get the new buses, whenever that's gonna happen. Maybe around Christmas like last year.
-
Didn't update this thread in a bit, I added some more videos to youtube in the past week(3 maybe) with more to come tomorrow.
-
That would be a change! Windsor's never bought New Flyer before. I think the 6xx will either be new novas(if it goes that high) or a new type of bus.
-
Ok, when did they make those routes anyway, I know they're fairly new? The 36 should have at least a decent amount of riders on it since it services the airport.
-
There used to be a Transway 1B a long time ago when it was SW&A. I don't remember where it went though. I think it went from downtown along dougall or something. If it were still around I'm sure it would be like the 1A and 1C, the most popular routes in the city along with the 2. Not sure. I think the 4xx is staying where it is for now, because I have a feeling TW is staying with nova unless orion pulls something big out of their ass like a too good to be true warrenty(sp?). If we go with orion it'll start at 445 and if it's with nova, it'll start at 565.
-
I noticed that happen in Windsor a couple times with the pets, a dog on a leash with a muzzle. And some drivers here will have a bus(mostly 1C drivers) with every seat(not all of them even sometimes) taken and a few people standing, and he/she will pass like 10 stops and let the other buses(usually 3-4) pick them up.
-
Ya maybe. I also saw 907 on the 2 going westbound today too. So we still have at least 1 left..lol.
-
No no no, I was talking about the 3 new routes that they just made, I know one of them is to the airport...sorry lol. ok, I just looked and got the numbers wrong. The routes that I'm thinking of are the 36(airport industrial), 37(Sovereign Road) and 38(Stoney Creek).
-
Here's a list of some of the buses that I saw today. I know I was at least a dozen more out there. 506 1C Express westbound(rode it downtown) 437 4 westbound 430 6 southbound 421 Extra Westbound 533 3 garage heading westbound 435 1C eastbound 541 3 westbound 413 1C eastbound 516 1C eastbound 561 6 northbound 444 1C westbound 531 1A northbound 424 3 Eastbound(rode it from downtown to school) These are all from the morning. And yes...that is 437 that was on the 4 this morning, I was as shocked as you are.
-
Weird, no signs of any damage. I wonder what it would be doing all the way over there on such short notice. If I see any drivers that I know tomorrow I'll ask them, and I'll also keep an eye out for 437 in case it's back already.
-
Ok thanks. How are the 26-28(routes) coming along? Is there a lot of people taking them?
-
Ok sweet, would I be able to put the picture on my site? And I find it odd that a TW 7 would be east of Mississauga. My only guess is repairs. But east of Orion is far fetched.
-
So did you see it twice then? You said at first it was heading eastboud on a trailer in TO then it was heading west heading towards Mississauga. Was 437 involved in a an accident or was it demo'd by a system? In another post, I'm gonna list the major transit hubs around the city and the bus routes that go there.
-
How many D40LFs are there now anyways? Did the previous order go right to 499? And how many are in the 1xx series?
-
Ya I think they will go with Nova again too. More than likely knowing the deals they've been giving out lately all over Canada. They probably will end up making a 30ft version one day to cope with transit demands. Hopefully we'll be getting more than the 6 that's in the master plan. 15-20 would do nicely like the 2004 orion order for 14.
-
I didn't say if it was expensive or not...I was stating which other buses are offered as 30ft.
-
The Orion 7 comes in 30ft too, and then there's the D30LF/D30LFR. I think that 30ft buses could also work on the Casino shuttle runs too. What was your website(Didn't know you had one)? Was it on Transit Windsor? I also agree with you on 501, 504, 506, and 508 along with 907 and 912.
-
I don't know why you said that they are keeping it(Orion). Go to page 25(or 26) in the ets photos and discussion thread and find the red bus picture towards the top of the page. That's the new Orion 7. Doesn't look like a kleenex box to me, far from it.
