BC Ferries Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 5 hours ago, Orion6784 said: Appears to be all 8100s on the r3 today. I caught 4 of them this morning. 8105?, 8112, 8113 and 8115 so far. All 16 D60LFR's were delivered with B-Line branding so I guess it's better than a conventional branded bus lol. B-Line is a predecessor to RapidBus. All of them except the first 3 that spent time in West Vancouver still carry the B-Line branding somewhere on the buses. Many have the rear ones removed probably for the ad-wraps. To me those 16 buses if they go to refurb should be painted in the RapidBus colours. Made more sense than last decade when all artic got the B-Line colours in addition to already designated B-Line buses then ran any bus on any artic route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 I have a feeling that this swap is less about branding and more so to do with maintenance. D60LFRs see almost no usage right now due to no classes at SFU (schedule only needs 5 buses on the 145 during peak hours right now). Might they be better in these conditions? (e.g. snow? Resistance to road salt?) It could make sense to reduce mileage on the Xcelsiors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8010 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 I’m putting this here because I’ve never seen this before. 2532 is currently being pushed by a transit supervisor back to VTC after BO-ing on Marine & Cambie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is it was because of cold/icy conditions - if they needed trains to be driven manually, better to do it with fewer trains so fewer drivers are needed. To keep the same capacity they use longer trains which means MK I and III trains are sometime used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
