* Mr. Black * Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 16th-Garrvile has been updated.... now its more like : Sixteenth --- Carville 19th-Gamble was given the same treatment... But now it sort of sounds like "Mighty -- Gamble" But then again, I hear those anouncements at least 8 times a day..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivablue5215 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I updated the first post to the best of my ability. I also changed the colour coding, to make distinguishing between reported and unreported AA issues easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivablue5215 Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Well...they tried to fix the #5936 At Yorkton Blvd announcement. Except I can barely make out 16th Avenue now from the announcement. I have to double check the stop number displayed, but on the 85 westbound approaching 9th Line, it is announced twice. However, the first announced 9th Line stop (nearside) does not exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivablue5215 Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 It does/did exist... not sure where the sign went tho.. Hmm...I remembered it did, but I also remembered the platform used to be paved (it's grassed up now). Even if it does exist, what's the point of having the nearside stop anyway? It's not like anyone is gonna transfer from a northbound 9 to a westbound 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like anyone is gonna transfer from a northbound 9 to a westbound 85. Maybe to serve the development on the north-east side of 16th... the stop pad for the farside stop is fairly far away from 9th, and the next nearest stop is Country Glen, another fair hike east.

Stop # is 5952. According to the YRT website, the stop is gone from the list. Therefore it would be safe to assume that stop doesn't exist anymore. I'll put it in the tracker for now.

vivablue5215 Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Some more to be added to the list: Stop #1279 At Okanagan Rd on the 85+ should be pronounced "O-ka-na-gan and Carrville", not "O-kan-a-gan and Carrville". Stop #1292 At Almira Ave is misspelled on the 18. It is currently showing "#1292 At Atmira Ave". Stop #4718 On Highway 7 is incorrectly displayed "#4718 At Highway 7".

YRT-Guy Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 vivablue, Do me a favour? At the end of the month, any remaining outstanding and/or new AA issues, can you email them to me in a list? I am almost certain you have my email right... as for everyone else, if you have ANYTHING else INIT (AA) related, post them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for 30 Minutes Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 When searching through the automated phone schedules, if you're searching by route and for a Viva route, it gives the selection of Viva Blue A as key 2. However, it's pronounced as Viva blu-ah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivablue5215 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Stop #2086 At Mccaffrey Rd should have the second c caplitalized for standardization. #2086 At McCaffrey Rd would be correct. Stop #5254 At Wells St and #4749 At Wells St is displayed correctly, but is mistakenly announced "Victoria and Wellington". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivablue5215 Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 First post has been updated, with a few more errors added from my sightings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttcfan Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Going to Finch Stn, the Yonge and Moore Park stop announcement says Yonge and Madawaska. Also with regard to the Savage Road stops on the Route 98/99, the first stop should be announced as Savage Road South and the next stop should say Savage Road. Finally at Richmond Hill Terminal, Viva Purple sounds like Viva 'Puple' over the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Aquarius Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Viva Purple sounds like Viva 'Puple' over the announcement. Probably because the announcement is so fast. The announcement needs to fit a lot of information in before it reaches the platform, but it is, indeed, too fast and should be slowed down while being announced earlier.

* Mr. Black * Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Im back from my 3 trips on Blue today, with some errors.... My bus (5205) would NOT announce Savage Rd or Jefferson Sideroad AT ALL. I Doubt that it was just my bus, but tomorrow i will confirm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm.. that's usually a sign that something was changed in the AA system for that stop. If it still doesn't work in a few days... let me know and I'll advise the region.

vivablue5215 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 All VIVA announcements on blue have been fixed, along the 85 double announcing of 9th Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivablue5215 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 1 Highway 7: #3124 At Thomson Crt is displayed correctly, but is announced "Highway 7 and Main Markham Road". Should be "Thomson and Main Street Markham". And as a side note, shouldn't the 9 and 18 have their INITs reprogrammed since they both don't turn into MSH anymore, and that the 18 uses Highway 7 to loop around?

vivablue5215 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Viva Blue A: It seems awkward for stops approaching Richmond Hill Centre, it shows "Next Stop - *scroll*No service to R. Hill Term*scroll*", then it finally shows "Next Stop - Centre Street" as an example after the first announcement stating the bus will bypass RHC (normally halfway between two stops). If I had my way, I would put it as "Next Stop - Centre Street *scroll*No service to Richmond Hill Centre*scroll* ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
