Transit 20 Posted June 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 not sure why its in down to Cambridge i am still trying to find out why but Remember when the 2008 hybrids came in 8025 was sent to Cambridge i did hear the 30 footers were sent back to Kitchener due to no operators wanted to drive them in Cambridge.

I believe 22105 and 22108 are still in Cambridge. It is there to familiarize the mechanics and the drivers. 22103 is currently on the 59 as well. When I was in Kitchener, 22105 and 22108 were based there and 22106 was in Cambridge. Not sure if 22107 entered service yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transit 20 Posted June 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 the 30 footers Arent in Cambridge anymore due nobody wanted to drive them all 30 footers are in Kitchener i know many drivers in Cambridge who refuse to drive them. my friend who fixes the buses for GRT is looking into why 22103 is in Cambridge. i have many contacts at GRT. 22105 was last out June 5. 22106 was spotted on the 27. 22107 is on the 27. 22108 was also spotted on the 27.

It's good to know where they are and when they were last out. It's a way to kinda know what to expect if you venture down there. Knowing that they are no longer being used in Cambridge for the time being is a plus of knowledge. The last time GRT had anything smaller than a 40 foot on any route were the three Orion 1 35 foots. It's good to keep up with something of this uniqueness in their fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTCBusRider15 Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 For anyone wondering why the GRT Site is down. There was a service outage today that is also affecting the GRT site. Route 79 starts on July 11th. It is a new On-Demand Route in the town of Breslau and surrounding area including the Region of Waterloo International Airport. It will have route connections to Route 34 and iXpress Route 204. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most drivers use to try and play the doctor's note game. They used to pull that with the refusal of driving Orion's to refusing to drive the XD40s. I am sure that they are no longer accepting those kind of notes and you are given the vehicle or you go home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZümmyZüm Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 if its a valid doctors note exempting you from driving for certain reasons the employer has to honour it provided that they have the equipment to accommodate. if it was a system like the STM where they only have Nova and you get a doctors note exempting you, then the employer will have to find another method of work. They cant however ignore your exemptions and force you to drive a certain bus model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
