vicinity Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I thought i would be interesting to track buses as the gain and loose the bike racks. It sparked my attention when 7574 lossed its bike rack and 8080 got one so i think it would be a good idea to track these units and as more become equipped. routes 1,6,7,15,20,28,29,52,56,79,80,83,92,96 are bike rack bus routes however recently the route 1 hasnt seen bike rack units. 7501-7511,7514-7521,7523-7550(1993) 7557,7561,7566,7571,7572,7584(1995) 7701-7733 bike rack (2001)Vp 7818,7824,7828,7829,7830,7833,7836,7840,7844,7845,7855,7858(2003)Sg 7869,7875,7881,7882,7883,7884,7890(2004)Sg 7895(2005)Sg 7963,7964,7966,7967,7968,7969,7970,7971,7972,7973,7974,797,7977(2006) 8080(2008)Sg 6060-6063 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xqc13 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 7963 also with a bike rack, 7550 without one as of last week. The AG bike rack routes (15, 28, 29, 52, 56, 79, 80, 83, 92, 96) don't see bike-racked buses regularly on their all-day runs- they often have 7600s.

mersar Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Which of the D60LFR's have bike racks? I know theres at least a couple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xqc13 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 6061, 6062, and 6063 all have bike racks. I don't think there are any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 6061, 6062, and 6063 all have bike racks. I don't think there are any others. Those are the only 3 Artics with bike racks that I know of as well. Noticed today that 7578 was parked at the north fence today at SG and it does not have a bike rack anymore. I seem to recall that 7836 has a bike rack as well now as well as 7845. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfive Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 The poster/flyer advertising the new bike rack service on the route 20 has a picture of 6060 with a bike rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

323 Surrey Ctrl Stn Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Does Calgary Transit have any "target date" set for 100% bike rack accessibility? Chris Cassidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xqc13 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 These Routes are designated Bike Rack bus route on the from of the schedules for the transit centre............. They are, but the bus assignments out of AG are still fairly random... not to mention that a number of the winnipeggers with bike racks (the most likely bike rack buses out of AG to see all-day service) get put on the 3 rather than those routes.

Yes but my point it they are designated bike accessable from the shedules... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I was going through my pictures this weekend and found one from a about 2 weeks ago of 7865 with a bike rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlarocque2005 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 i was wondering what the rule is if a bike rack equipped bus shows up on a non bike rack route i.e is a person allowed to use the rack or no . Here in Ottawa if a bike rack equipped bus shows up on say the 262 the rack can be used. thanks Which of the D60LFR's have bike racks? I know theres at least a couple On CT's website 6060 has a rack and the bike rack routes have been chopped down to 3 for a one year trial .

Yes. I have had Bike rack equipped buses many times on routes that are non-bike rack assigned routes and have had a few people use them. On CT's website 6060 has a rack and the bike rack routes have been chopped down to 3 for a one year trial . Hmm... This is interesting. For several years now, the route 1, 6, 7, among others were offering bike racks on the buses. I have noticed the route 1's have been the best in terms of having the bike racks used, so I find it odd that they are no longer offered on that route. The 6 and 7 also did get bike rack usage as well, but not quite as much as the route 1 from what I have found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xqc13 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Interesting that they've chosen the 36/41 for bike rack service- does that mean that they will be 100% low-floor now? (except for the shuttle trips on the 36 on sunday nights)? I haven't been paying attention to what's been on those routes, but I know that the 36 still has 2 HF runs scheduled per weekday, and the 41 has 1. EDIT: Also saw 7571 parked at Anderson today (26th) without a bike rack. Edited July 26, 2010 by xqc13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it seems that 6060 has been given a bike rack, saw it today on the 305. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfive Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well, it seems that 6060 has been given a bike rack, saw it today on the 305. It was featured as a 20 Northmount on the pamphlet advertising the bike rack service changes. 6060 has had a bike rack for about a month now.

xqc13 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Rode 7510 today and noticed that it no longer has its bike rack. I don't know how recent that is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
