armorand Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 New Flyer quality! Those panels are rather flimsy anyways. Doesn't help that they guys that work on them can't be bothered to put things back together right. Looks like a road repair job by a bus driver though (yes, some guys carry duct tape). Too bad it cant be used on transit patrons. Rode the 21 last week, this guy started yelling his ass off right in my ear like, 2 feet away from me. Also surprised the driver let another guy on with a bike when the bus was fully seated with a few standees... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millennium2002 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 That back panel falling loose problem seems to happen somewhat in Vancouver too with the pre-2010 x40LFRs and x60LFRs that we have... =S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice many people that work on those panels do not know how to make sure those latches are turned correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bus_Medic Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I notice many people that work on those panels do not know how to make sure those latches are turned correctly. You're right there, duct tape is standard issue for TTC operators. Much to my chagrin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidW Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Nearly a month after 153 At this rate next year's order will start arriving before this year's order is all here.... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armorand Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 At this rate next year's order will start arriving before this year's order is all here.... :-) NFI apparently delivered 3 D40LFRS to Saskatoon. Maybe they're the culprits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidW Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 The rumour I heard today was that the entire balance of the order would be at FRG before the end of next week. (I think I'll bet, ummm..., a gummy bear on that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think I'll bet, ummm..., a gummy bear on that). Thats good! Wonder what the 2012 order is going to be, and if it will wipe the Classics off the roster. Some of them are looking even more beat up than the D40s, particularly when the seat slid out from under me and my ass nearly hit the floor when it was zooming down Portage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not until 2014 by current plans. Drove 142 on Friday. Already a rougher ride with messed up steering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinguni Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'm rooting for solid orange and with cream checkmark Blue and red based on the logo, probably on the same base white and black bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armorand Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Blue and red based on the logo, probably on the same base white and black bus. It'd be interesting to see an ETS-like scheme, with red on the top and blue on the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusRider Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 As far as I know, there will be no separate scheme for the rapid transit. At most, there may just be a new P/R on the destination sign that says "160 RAPID TRANSIT - DOWNTOWN". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is going to be a separate scheme for some of the new buses, but like I said, probably just different decals on the the same colour scheme buses. It's called branding and will help to sell the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
