I like the way how they just cut out the bottom part of the B prefix to make it look like a P. Low budget! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

translinkedi337m Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Not sure if it fits in this thread, but I remember this one time in what I believe was 2008 or the first half of 2009 when a bus running the 10 came off the trolley wires at Marpole Loop, though I don't remember what bus it was. I was there with my mom and we had to wait a while for another bus to come. I think eventually they had to bring in a D40LF from Vancouver Transit Centre to run the route instead. Unfortunately, we didn't have a camera on us then, so there are no pictures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
