Express691 Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 There have been rumblings about a reroute on the 394 in which the route will follow the 321 route through Newton. Stops at 72/King George, 72/138, 68/King George in both directions, no stops will be made directly at Newton Exchange (although Newton bay 11 is technically outside the loop area) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orcair Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Genuine question: given how the 394 now basically duplicates the 321 route, and is not much faster despite the fewer stops, is there a reason they don't run more frequencies on the 321 at peak instead? The 345 already provides faster service from King George - White Rock than the 321... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express691 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 further evidence: 394 underwent substantial service increase some time ago The ultimate plan for the 345 is to eliminate it as far as I remember, and make all those trips into 375 then you have large ridership base on King George between 68 and 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busmanic92 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 No real need to me to have a 394 if there's no orion, or suburban Nova for instance. Running it. Just seems pointless. Get rid of rest of 394s. Have more 321's running. Or just turn it into r1 extension. Transfer that many buses out and get that many rapidbus units in return (or just paint spare 60 foots) 354 other hand. They can turn those into 351 express units without any stops except South Surrey park and ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 Blader Line Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 The 394 from what I see at KG does have people board so it has some ridership but idk if a non transit ethusiant even cares if it's a highway coach or not. Probably not tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not tho Thanks all for your comments – I admit I'm still rather puzzled by the routing, particularly the new Newton route. I would understand it more if it was a true express/suburban coach-esque route like @Busmanic92 mentioned, but I guess I'll have to wait and see what comes in the next few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I figured that out already - even though half of them park in the layover area anyway, and its still easy to get into Bay 5 from the current 25 layover spot as long as you don't pull up all the way to the crosswalk - regardless, still stupid, simply for the reason with trying to get out on time with that dumbass crosswalk can be a real pain.

Express691 Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Per alerts, R1 northbound to reroute via 138 Street, 76 Avenue to regular route during PM Rush. Joyce station bay #s are getting renumbered. E.g. Bay 3 for the R4 is becoming bay Bay 4. Stops remain in position.

Michael Marriott Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 The 44 and 84 will be on a long term detour starting Monday going via Blanca and University Blvd. The 68 will also be running down a residential Western Parkway instead of Wesbrook Mall. And someone isn't paying attention for the Sun Run detours. Even though the race path was updated this year to avoid the Cambie Bridge, the alerts pase still says the 17 will be running over the Granville Bridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, VTC is probably needing to get rid of them to have room for the 2021 artics. HTC has also been sending XN40s to STC as noted above, so the redistribution is spread a bit more evenly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
