Nova4 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 hey everybody well it happen today a driver was walking up the Escalator and fell on the Escalator and the person was hurting when i was talking to this person and was getting ready to do the paper work and they said why the Escalator is off is Because of the ac being on now that some body got hurt with the Escalator not working they need to get the Escalator working before some body eles gets hurt That must be the most confusing thing I have ever read in my life.

Transit Man Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Overheard a customer "screaming and swearing" at a Driver today about the escalators being out of service! He said he had already complained to the Terminal Manager, GRT, and was even considering calling his Regional Councillor! WOW! Now even the drivers are taking the flack for it not working! I hope someone says something to 'me' about it ...................... I can hardly wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivercat Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 So true! It's not the Terminal Managers fault that the escalators are not working, it's always the drivers fault People should put the blame where it really belongs. What do the drivers have to do with the terminal building, really, other than the part that has to do with the buses? That's like blaming a school teacher for there being garbage in the halls. What amazes me (well, not really, they are transit customers afterall) I get the feeling that you were teasing when you said this! Nice shot!! Haha!

rivercat Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 So true! It's not the Terminal Managers fault that the escalators are not working, it's always the drivers fault I wouldn't even bother a driver about such a problem, as it's not their area. The worst I would do is ask a driver whom I might speak to regarding an issue such as the Terminal Escalator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transit Man Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I see the escalator at the Charles Street terminal is "Out of Service" again! How long this time? Any bets? I highly doubt that it will be fixed for "back to school" on September 7th! (Maybe for the Christmas Break! LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4500 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I highly doubt that it will be fixed for "back to school" on September 7th! (Maybe for the Christmas Break! LOL) Well there were 5 of them standing around watching 1 do all the work so I am a little suprised that they aren't working??? What a laugh!! The reason it's always the "down" escalator that is broken down is because thats where the motors for the both of them are, by the looks of it. I by no means am an escalator tech, if I was they would most likely be fixed by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIDO Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Well, I'll be! The escalator at the CST is working again! But the big question on eveyones mind now is ................... "For how long?" (Was it "out of service" for 4 months, give or take a few weeks?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"For how long?"(Was it "out of service" for 4 months, give or take a few weeks?) I spoke to the tech's yesterday and they said it should last " about as long as it take us to get out of here" So how long is that, I wonder?

Transit Man Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Guess what? .............................. CST escalators "Out of Service" AGAIN!!!! How long this time? Working this afternoon. I guess that's not suprising! Heard a rumor that the Terminal Manager turns it off to save on the Hydro costs! (Makes sense 'cause if you noticed, when the A/C was on at the Terminal this summer, the Escaltors were off!) Escalators were probably running in the morning, for the school rush, then shut off at 8:30 for the day, being turned back on for the afternoon rush. Lets see what happens tomorrow morning. On or off?? And, if so, for how long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greater Golden Horseshoe Transit Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Well, if they're just going to start turning them off at random and make them into stairs, just rip 'em out and put in actual stairs...or what's the point in having them??

I agree, and by the way, they were shut off ALL day today! As for replacing them with a "staircase" apparently, so they say, it wouldn't fit. And, for replacing the "Escalator" I heard comment made that "they no longer make Escalators because of the "hydro" they use running all day, and it's not "enviromentally correct"! What B.S.! Just "Google" Escalator manufacturers, and you come up with all kinds! http://www.kone.com/countries/en_US/Escala...es/default.aspx (Some of these seem pretty enviromentally friendly to me!) http://www.kone.com/countries/en_US/Escala...ault.aspx?tab=3 http://www.schindler.com/group_index/group..._escalators.htm How about this idea! http://www.escalator.ca/service.html Almost seems too simple!
