Hey everyone, to keep up with the retirements of the LACMTA NABI Metro 45Cs and 60-BRTs, I provided a separate thread so we know which ones are retired at the moment, and which ones are still active presently. The replacements for the 45Cs are unknown yet, but presumably BYDs as the Silver Line Compobuses are starting to be repainted into the iconic orange Metro Local livery while the buses from BYD are currently on delivery to Metro. The 60-BRTs might also be replaced by BYDs, but the ones that are used on the Orange Line replacement are the XE60s. Retired NABI Compobuses (2008-2013, 8100-8649) 8100-8216, 8218-8338, 8340-8341, 8344, 8348, 8363, 8400, 8402, 8409, 8517 Retired NABI 60-BRTs (2007-2008, 9500s) I don’t think any are retired at the moments but I will update it accordingly Metro recently repainted some of it’s Silver Line Metro 45Cs which including 8352, 8358 and some others. I believe they are based out of Division 13 now Sadly I don’t have auction dates for these buses, but will update accordingly if sources are found Majority of the retired NABI Compobuses are scrapped 8517 was involved in a recent crash when a hijacker took control of the bus. The suspect boarded the bus and the victim (bus driver) was held at gunpoint. The suspect forced the bus driver to drive to multiple locations. The hijacker then ran multiple lights before crashing into the side of the Ritz-Carlson Hotel. The suspect was later arrested, having kept the gun onboard the bus

Hello Transit Enthusiast World! I know everyone here loves everything to do with public transportation or we wouldn't be on this forum; public transportation is an interest I hold dear as well. I have a particular passion for creating transit operator point-of-view (POV) videos on YouTube of bus and rail systems for the enjoyment of transit enthusiasts everywhere; I also record some time-lapse videos of scenic road trips I take. To share my work with the CPTDB community I will be posting links to videos in this thread whenever new content gets posted to my channel. Many videos were created before this thread started, so I'll start posting those in order, and then add the new stuff as it gets published. I know it's cliché, but if you enjoy these types of transportation videos and want to support their continued creation the best thing you can do is subscribe to my channel on YouTube, hitting that elusive 1K subscriber mark would also allow me to begin recouping some production costs from YouTube, so any help getting there would be great! Creating these videos requires a lot of negotiation with transit agencies, obtaining film permits and film agreements, providing liability insurance, covering travel expenses, etc., so your support is much appreciated!

This new transit centre is mentioned in the December 14, 2017 Board Meeting Report. This project ties in to the Millennium Line - Broadway Extension project. According to the file, the file also states that on page 152, 37 diesel buses (unknown brand/year) are to replace some of the the trolley fleet. They will also build bypass trolley overhead infrastructure for other trolley routes during construction. FAQ: Q: What routes/buses will be based out of this yard? A: We do not know yet, (and please don't speculate because we literally know nothing route-wise at this point.) Q: Will RTC buses be based out of this yard? A: Look above. Q: What will be the final name of this transit centre? A: Actually, on page 152, the project name is called "Marpole Transit Centre - Silvertree Site". (and please don't speculate because we literally know nothing name-wise at this point.) All clear? Let's start discussion!

This is something I often have been wondering. So, are transit buses and metrorail more often owned and used by transit agencies than RVs, conversion vans, and minivans? -
This is my first post on this website, so here goes (forgive me if this isn't the right place to post it). I've been a fan of transit and buses for many years now; I think it goes back to when I was a kid and growing up riding the bus just about everywhere. Now I've grown to the point where I want to be a bus collector and gather a series of buses, both past and present. Now the one I'm looking for in particular has been rather hard to find. I'm looking for a Neoplan AN460 still intact that hasn't been torn apart yet or scrapped in a junkyard. I've looked all over, eBay, Transit Sales, Bargain Bus News, and many other used bus sales websites, but to no success. Out of the many buses I've looked and seen over the years, this one has always stood out to me is it was a common bus I rode in Pittsburgh back in 2011-2013 before they were retired and now owning one for me would serve a nostalgic purpose. Does anyone out there know of any person, place, or transit agency that might still have one and is looking to sell it in the future or is up for sale right now?

My final stop was in the city of La Crosse, WI to see the new hybrid buses added to the La Crosse Municipal Transit Utility (MTU) fleet earlier this year. The MTU fleet is now entirely Gillig LF 35' units, years 2001, 2002, 2007 and 2013: Maybe it's because they're still new, but the two hybrid buses I rode were tight! No rattles, squeaks or anything, even on the choppy roads. ISB/Allison H 40EP hybrid system of course. I think it's cool they went with standard sliding windows as well.

Mine is obviously 14 Glencairn. I just saw 1001 go by on it. It's because I live on Glencairn Ave. and see the 14 go by everyday, and it's been my dream to drive a 14 since i was little. Mount Dennis, here I come!

While returning from Winnipeg I had the chance to stop in Grand Forks, North Dakota to check out their transit system. Cities Area Transit, or CAT, serves Grand Forks with a fleet of roughly a dozen or so fixed-route buses. One bus, 114, is operated on behalf of East Grand Forks, MN and used exclusively on the EGF route. CAT runs a basic hub system with Columbia Mall and the downtown Metro Transit Center serving as the two main transfer points. The CAT fleet consists of four 2010 New Flyer units, two hybrid DE35LFR, 103-104, and two D35LFR, 105-106. 2003 Gillig LF 29', 31, 2004 Gillig LF 29', 42, 2009 ARBOC 91, 2011 ARBOC 112, 2011 Ford/Goshen 113, and EGF ARBOC 114. Recently retired units are 974-977, New Flyer D35LF. 974 was sitting outside the garage, allegedly it was sold back in 2011 according to their TDP so I'm not sure what the deal is with it. Here are some photos of their fleet, as well as their transfer center and a bus stop sign:

It's exciting to be looking at the routing for the North Crosstown BRT, something that's been definitely needed to provide better E-W connections along 16th Avenue. I think this route would provide a frequent link between a couple of hospitals (major employment centres), help with the development in University District in west campus, and also spur some development for more high density developments along 16th Avenue. Only issues I see with the route is the lack of separated lanes or traffic priority at major intersections such as Centre Street, Edmonton Trail and 19th Street NE which hurts reliability and travel times. Currently, Eastbound 16th between 10th and Edmonton Trail is horrible for congestion during the PM rush, and this doesn't look like it would have any priority in this stretch of road. A problem with BRT branding and subsequent appeal is the lack of time savings over a conventional bus route, so I am not too sure if this would be successful in shifting over current passengers from the current routes (One of the issues with the 306 for example which had to be massively scaled back due to low ridership).

WillMacI posted a topic in Greater Toronto Area
Hello everyone, the 5th Year Anniversary runs for the Virtual TTC Academy will be happening on December 28, 2017. If we do not get enough people for these runs, the TTC Academy might be shut down due to a large number of inactive operators. The runs are already posted on the run sheet, but here is a preview of the runs. SHY-DM-SHY X2 (Line 4) - 15:00 Eastern Time Zone KN-KIP (Line 2) - 17:00 Eastern Time Zone FN-SHW (Line 1) - 19:00 Eastern Time Zone Sign Up For The Academy Here: http://bit.ly/TTCAcademy -- About The Academy The Virtual TTC Academy is a place where transit enthusiasts can simulate 3 out of the 4 of the TTC subway lines together. A video about the academy: -
The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass is proposing to experiment with a public transit system. Currently the municipality (which is a chain of towns in the valley of the Crowsnest Pass in the Rockies) has a seniors/disability demand-responsive service called the "Town Rounder". The proposal is to use the bus for Town Rounder service on Mondays and Tuesdays, and operate a fixed route service open to everyone on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. There is more information, including a draft schedule and some route maps, on the town website. According to the 2011 Census the population of Crowsnest Pass is 5,565.

In this thread, I'm going to post pictures and videos that I've posted on my flickr and YouTube channel. Apr. 25th, 2017 YouTube: I uploaded an old video of Toronto Transit Commission Streetcar 4109, which has since been retired. Unfortunately, that's all I have as of right now. I will be updating more in the future.

Apparently they now have Transit! Found #12 parked behind a shop and then shortly after spotted #11 operating in service. I wonder how many other buses they have.

I am surprised no one here has covered Fort Worth Transportation Authority yet. This video, by Joshua Thurman (lilmanjt), covers both DART (Dallas) and the "T" (Fort Worth): As this video was originally filmed in September of 1999, then I cannot envision any of the Flxible Metros in Fort Worth as still operating to this day (except maybe a few of the last ones delivered - the 1995 Metro "E" CNG 40-foot buses numbered 514-527), given both the FTA-mandated 12-year/500,000-mile replacement schedule and the generally dry weather conditions throughout TX. Since that time, these buses have been supplanted or replaced by New Flyer C40LF's, C40LFR's or XC40 Excelsiors, or even Gillig Advantage CNG buses. Thank you, Ben Edge (ClassicBusFan81)
