Would you rather have a gun pointed at your bus? Um..thought so... let the bus spotters take their photos. Documenting the present for the future. 50 - 60 years ago, people like Doug Cowan and Colin Hatcher probably never dreamed that their photos would be so widely shared in books and such. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One interesting piece I found in the "2020 Access Transit Users’ Advisory Committee Annual Report" portion: Quote Bus Onboard Passenger Displays During the summer, members of the committee were asked to review new prototype onboard passenger displays for conventional buses. As a result of this review, CMBC was able to choose a preferred vender and make necessary adjustments to the new displays prior to purchasing them for new coaches. The new displays will be introduced when new busses are purchased and put into service over the next few years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious where they're pulling the extra hours from in terms of operators and vehicles. This is so long overdue. I would hope that eventually we get some park-and-rides that aren't in miserable core areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whenever i go that far there's usually not many or none getting off the bus. Luckacuck way is like a busy stop. People get off there and get on quite frequently. Really should move that lickman stop and put it a few blocks down. Upgrade the roads so passengers can safely get on And off. But the rest of this is for bc transit Chilliwack page.

This service change has been deferred for over a year, and at this point it's political. The other Fraser Valley conventional systems are going to be in bad shape for the next while.

The only other ones really worth mentioning are the 418 and 743 improvements (3 trips added). Most other ones only have one trip difference, or running time adjustments, or downtown terminus change.

Dane Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Interesting, 226 is a recycled number, which makes sense as it fits the current numbering scheme quite well. It had been the 226 St Patrick's which was always a pretty low frequency route I think. Captured the Western side of the City of North Van from Lonsdale Quay, Lions Gate Hospital and Pemberton I think? Always thought it was a funny route name as it went like two blocks on St Patrick's!

Same as why any other agency does - trying to pick a number for a new route that fits into the current numbering system most likely. Plus, if it follows a similar routing to a discontinued route with the same number, it has the added bonus of being recognizable to riders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Thanks for posting that. I'd been so curious what they bought. They sure went old, but you get what you can get! I was surprised when I was in Vancouver a couple weeks ago how short the WCE consists were, and that's even with still-cancelled trips. Wonder when we will see WCE return to normal? Makes me wonder if it hasn't had the same decent rebound as the rest of TransLink if it'll be a few years+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
