SirAndrew710 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 I’d assume it would be the same story with the 65? Also, will the outbound ones get new signs or will they still say “WESTDALE?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that this change, at least two of the all-day 36es (36-5 and 36-6, to be specific) are out of BG (I can see the run cards when I get off) and I’ve only ridden XD60s on that route this change. Then again, the 60-footers are used on weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the 60s and the blue (100-1 and on) are all BG runs for weekends and I believe most of the weekday is as well so I assume that most of the artics will be out of BG a few 60s end as blue line and blue lines become the 60 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilZebra Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Quote https://winnipegtransit.com/en/service/blue-rapid-transit/ Starting in late March, you will be able to plan trips on the improved network using the Navigo Trip Planner. I'll soon be able to ride the 23 Broadway bus from Mood Disorders to my apartment without having to walk too far and using one bus instead of doing FREE/55/160/? bus and 11/21/24 to get to Sherbrook. https://winnipegtransit.com/assets/2584/23.pdf However, weekend service headways on the new 47, the 74 and other routes are gonna suck. We need FTW to push for improved servic on the weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need FTW to push for improved servic [sic] on the weekends. When I redesigned the 47 for the Custom Routes thread, the headways I suggested were 21 minutes on Saturday (same as the current route and on the lower end of what’s proposed) and 30 minutes on Sunday (on the upper end of what’s proposed, but still better than the current route). Believe it or not, the 60-65 headways proposed for the 74 on weekends are an improvement on the current route and its nearly 75-minute Saturday headways. Still, for the only route running between Polo and the Outlet Mall, that’s unacceptable. River Heights really is a black hole at times on weekends, especially on Sundays (no 68, no 74, no 78, 45-minute headways and no evening service on the 20). The least they should do on Sunday nights (in my opinion) is run a short-turn 20 from the airport to Pacific Terminal, preserving service to north River Heights and the connection between St. James and the airport.

Pacific Terminal is eastbound Pacific at Martha (stop 10800). Located across a parking lot from the Manitoba Museum, it’s where the 21, 24, “Shoppers’ Special” 11s and various rush-hour express routes terminate.

LilZebra Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 That's what they were signed in the 80s/90s until about November 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ask if the 67 would have simply said “67 CHARLESWOOD EXP,” in the vein of the 40 or 57, but I guess that was the era before rollsigns gave way to Luminators. When was the Moray branch of the 67 and 79 introduced? All I could find was a Wikipedia article mentioning that the bridge was opened in 1995 and a city council document from 2004 about the decommissioning of that service and its replacement with the 98 effective the summer change of that year.

LilZebra Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 As I recall it was in February of 1996, but that isn't right because it doesn't jive with WT's new scheduling calendar. So maybe late 1995. Maybe the Free Press archives would have a clue. "Winnipeg Transit Winter Service & Schedule Changes" (November 8, 1995). Winnipeg Free Press. p. B3 If you don't have access to NewsPaperArchive.com I can save that page and e-mail it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew710 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Yep, service on that branch began November 12th, 1995, and the 67 ran for the first time the next day. I wasn’t born yet, which explains why I wouldn’t remember that. Interesting to see that the Moray branch ended earlier than the Kenaston one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew710 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Also, it’s interesting to see that the 45 provided service to the Forks along Broadway before the arrival of the Spirits. I wonder why they didn’t do the same thing that they did with the 38 and have it go to the Forks when the Spirits aren’t running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
