Pity about the lack of Nextride... Then again though Kamloops is a small system, virtually every route goes Downtown. Other than the routes that terminate at the horribly placed TRU Exchange.

XN40G Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 I found a nextride bug on 1058 (Chopped Leaf Livery) today, it was looping "IP Address, Welcome to use" over and over, also no "use the rear doors" or "stay behind the red line" accouncements 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing new 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the 17. I lived in barnhartvale most of my life. And that's one of them i first rode! Can't remember which was my first bus number to ride though. 6 was mostly a lot of the time darts. They left the city i bet to upgrade the fleet, and probably Victoria had a few runs that needed smaller vehicles so they swapped? Hard to remember lol. 6/17 maybe the 10. Unknown about the 5 but it's not that busy anyhow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When 4 Pacific way served Lansdowne! But way back when it was a real indoor mall. Now i remember that. The 15 ord wasn't very popular but they could have put the 14 Batchelor Heights via ord on select trips not to duplicate eighth in the end. How i miss those buses and old history. I gotta do my research! (How time flies lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XN40G Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Will Kamloops ever get the Grande West vicinity CNG busses soon? Brings back dennis dart memories in Kamloops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busmanic92 Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Or just bring in valleyview exchange. Have a big bus going down valleyview regularly. Way out goes like 17 and way back goes like 16. Create another valleyview onto Highway up to tru. The city really needs to think more like what Chilliwack does with 66. And I'm pretty sure they can easily make it to Merritt if they just learn to put foot on pedal going the right speeds. If Chilliwack can stop through Abbotsford. So can kam and Merritt. Or meet half way for Kelowna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XN40G Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 I really think Kamloops should have double decker busses because for example, the route 1 bus around 2-4 pm is really packed and sucks to wait for the bus only to be full and having to wait for the next one to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New digital full-colour passenger information displays will also be installed inside all heavy-duty buses. These displays will offer trip information to passengers including multiple upcoming stops, current route, and service alerts. There are expected to be no service interruptions during the replacement process, and riders will continue to have the ability to use smart mobile devices and desktop services to see the real-time location of their bus along its route and its predicted arrival time at an identified stop.
