(there will be duplicates)

Qsy6737 you missed us by about 10 minutes...me, Mike, and Felix were at Kipling at around 4:50.

Actually it was even closer than that, as I also spotted 7313 on the 30 and 7311 on the 111. However, 7325 was on the 123, it's rear sign still taped up.

[502 Downtowner]

From what I counted today, there were (in midday) 12 T1's and 8 H6's out on the BD. There were also 15 T1's, 10 H5's (which seems pretty high) and 3 missed trains (gored tunnels) on the YUS. Later in the day I spotted an H4 on BD.

6710 and 6743 (in a row) on the 111

2250 and 2388 on the 29

2383 on the 47 (which I narrowly missed, thank heavens)

6440 and 6480 both still alive on the 48.

7404, 7527, and 7731 on the 190.

7661, 1060, 1072, 1078, 1111, 1121, and 1136 on the 505 Shuttle (all of which went to Lansdowne/Queen).

7932, 7936, 7939, and 8036 on the 47.

What I thought was interesting today was that all 3 accessibility violations I spotted (2383 on the 47 and 2250/2388 on the 29) were way behind schedule and were crush loaded. This leads me to wonder, can the GM's keep up with the V's/VII's on hilly routes such as the 29 and 47? I notice this on the 32, D40-88/89's and GM's tend to be way behind schedule while all V's and VII's or relatively empty. What about when the 95 slowly starts seeing VII's in August and September, will there be issues there too?

[TTCNLFBT]

Forgot to mention, 6421 was doing Training on Bathurst, between Dupont and the Bathurst Stn yesterday.

It's summer...

I remember seeing that bus with the rogers wrap on 1 a few years ago... kinda sad.

add 2329 on 29 + you would probably see an E that is not accessible cause it runs express

Drivers complain about the 91 Vs and 97 artics in Mississauga too. The schedules are already tight enough, then add in a slow bus.

[wil9402]

Just because the route is express it doesn't mean that buses assigned to it should be non-accessible, people with wheelchairs & scooters use express buses too.

[Articulated]

Just because the route is express it doesn't mean that buses assigned to it should be non-accessible, people with wheelchairs & scooters use express buses too.

Traditionally, express runs have been non-accessible, while the 'regular' non-express runs are accessible. 39 and 53 were like this when the V's were split up between divisions, and the III's were running on those routes. This created a slight problem with 39D, since all the non-peak direction runs were express, therefore no accessible service east of McCowan.
