Urban_96 Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Yesterday, I saw R9254 on the 301. I am just wondering if this is supposed to be happening, or if it this is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was transferred to STC a few weeks ago, with the retirement of 9230 and 9234 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingPig Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Does anyone know why the 145 is running out of BTC today? There are also 5 artics on the 701. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday schedule today, and artic 701s are only seen on boxing day as people in maple ridge flock to coquitlam centre to do boxing day shopping (not to mention, Popeyes in Coquitlam might throw a small wrench into 701 service levels today) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also 5 artics on the 701. 145 operates from PCTC on weekdays and BTC on weekends. Today they're running a modified Saturday schedule because of the holiday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Maybe not that special, but 4 more buses were added to line 601 this afternoon to help move crowds from Tsawwassen Mills. 16125, 2x ISL D40LF, and 8013. South Delta to Ladner Exchange only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomasw Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) This doesn't have much to do with Translink but I was at Cypress Mountain earlier this evening and I spotted what looked to be a New Flyer D30LF doing what seemed to be a parking shuttle. The pictures aren't great as I was in a moving vehicle but if anyone know anything about it I would love to know more about it. Edited December 29, 2018 by Thomasw The unit number of the bus was 7026 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup I was up skiing there on sunday and had a surprise ride on that to the lower highway lots. Much better than walking in ski boots... Edit: I should add that it's one of the bowen island express units, likely contracts out to cypress off of peak hours when there is no bowen traffic.

They are responsible for running this service, which CCL previously ran with an ex-CMBC D40HF. For this service, Bowen Island alternates between this bus and a larger Blue Bird depending on ridership. The Orion is exclusively for Horseshoe Bay runs but this little thing is currently doing that because Orion is broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Shuttle Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 18459 just hauled a bunch of people wearing safety vests into Metrotown Station. Saw a lot of training shuttles running around Burnaby today so I'm not sure if it has anything to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, as per CPTDB Wiki, 9790 operated the last 135 SFU on December 19, 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
