I had a highway Nova 18454 on my afternoon 301 this afternoon and I was hoping to put the "Rear boarding only" PR code but it's not programmed, still says "Go team go" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Sunday afternoon, someone was clearly trolling, because I rolled into South Surrey Park and Ride, spotted the other 351 sitting there showing REAR BOARDING ONLY. Uh... what rear door...? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillip Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 There's a few 40 ft buses on the 49 this morning but not showing on Tcomm. Probably temporary blocks created to alleviate crowding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that it is in order to comply with Physical Distancing regulations like you mentioned, and also to hold more passengers. As well, because it is longer, it is easier to stay 6 feet away from others in an artic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickie22 Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 About 8:40-8:45 this morning, I was on my bike and saw a B81?? signed as 99 "TO GRANVILLE / B-LINE". Rare short-turn, if the destination sign is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 49's have been having shuttles between Metrotown stn and Cambie st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zortan Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Saw 19023 on the 257 this afternoon. Not sure how rare it is to see a RapidBus on the 257 at this point, but still thought it was worth pointing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
