Xtrazsteve Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Oh than i think there was error on the list . . The list is full of errors. Some of the buses have been sitting at Hillcrest for ages and is still listed at a garage. If it came from a garage to Hillcrest, it doesn't mean it will return there. Some of the Queensway rebuilts went back to Arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leylandvictory2 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I am not surprise there. Last weekend, a driver from Birchmount said there were no buses available for changeoff due to the subway shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6254 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 7-8 94xx's were used on the YUS shuttle last Saturday and that rarely happened before. What are the reasons for bus shortage if comparing with a year before when in 2014 1) there was no 84xx Novas but there were some 7000s and 7200s which generally stayed in yards. 2) More 7900s and 8000s were in rebuild program, now the rebuild program is winding down.

The 7900's and 8000's rebuild program may be winding down, but it doesn't end there. The 1000's are concurrently undergoing their rebuild program as well. Approximately 10 units from what we've heard so far in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cause the TTC does major bus maintenance on weekends. The required buses on weekends are lower but more of them are sidelined on weekends. You also have forgotten Tory's initiatives of having more off peak services. This contributes to less buses available on weekends and higher maintenance work on buses. That also cut their maintenance time as those buses are on the road instead of sitting in the garage. Second, those artics are becoming white elephants. They are useless during weekends. Malvern doesn't put them on the 85 on Saturdays, the 320 on Sunday morning doesn't get them either. Only Wilson makes use of them 7 days a week (probably due to their bus shortage). Otherwise for Malvern, Arrow and MtD, it puts stress on their 40ft buses. It's like having 100 less buses available on weekends. TTC buses are busier these days than it was in 2014. Look at how many 9400s are out today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a scare when I checked Transsee today and saw a lot of Wilson V's out. I thought my browser opened up to yesterday's list of 9400's It was about a month ago when Malvern artics began to go on 85 on Saturdays. They should be used on weekends to reduce the strain on hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow is moving Hybrids to Wilson as they receive move NOVAs As Wilson receives Hybrids they retire 9400s Seems too by October moves that Birchmount and Queensway show a net loss in buses Am I missing something? Arrow didn't gain any buses, they lost hybrids while they gain some 7900s and new 8400s. Wilson gain hybrids and some 8100s while loosing 9400s. Queensway didn't lose much, they always had about 180 buses. The 8000 rebuilds are returning so they can return the 7900s they borrowed from Arrow, Bmount lost a few buses, but they also aren't doing the 22 this board. Eglinton took over with the 22/70 interlined route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
