isUsername Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 No, it's because Presto couldn't tell the Region what kind of fare structures would be allowed, whether a number of "must-haves" and "important-to-haves" could be provided, or even how much the system would cost. Having seen the problems Presto has had in its development, the roll-out that continues to be slow and with numerous problems, and the potential for irrelevance of such a closed system, I'm glad we didn't bind ourselves to it.

GRT21101 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I was just on the 7C to Conestoga Mall, and as we approached Victoria/Joseph, a new announcement was put over the stop announcements that said, "Any Customers on Route 20, transfer here for buses to Charles Street Terminal and Downtown" or something along that line, I probably messed the wording up a tad. I hope they apply this to other routes for transfer points and terminals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2281 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) No. E: Lol, can you imagine... "Next Stop. Charles Street Terminal. Passengers may transfer to GRT routes 1, 2, 3, 4........." Edited September 21, 2015 by A. Wong Offensive language. Please do not swear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kt808 Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 There are messages like this on the 200 & 51 buses now when either are near the new ION-Pinebush stop. Can't remember the wording but something to the effect that the 200 no longer stops at the Cambridge Smart Centre, and passengers can transfer at the Pinebush stop to the 51 to reach the Smart Centre.

Chris W Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 im back 21206 was hit in the back end from a truck last night reports say the frame is bent nobody was hurt another bus possibly retired. I think they can still fix it. There are special tools that are used to bend a frame back into a straighter state. The bus will be gone for a while, but I'm confident that it'll be back. So 21314 is on the 51 right now. When did Cambridge get XD40s? I was there on Monday and it was straight Nova in Cambridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any heavy duty truck body shop can handle that no problem. No way that bus is retired too new for the insurance to write that off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRT21101 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Any heavy duty truck body shop can handle that no problem. No way that bus is retired too new for the insurance to write that off. Even when 2605 went up in flames, they were able to get the bus fixed and returned to service, and they had to pretty much replace the entire rear end of it. So I definitely don't think they will retire it. Like Chris said, it will be away for an extended period of time, but we will see it in service again sometime.
