97SCT Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 One of the St.Catharines owned Xcelsiors, 1141 was running the 60/65 Welland-Niagara Falls today. Assumingly St.Catharines lent 1141 to Welland Transit to fill in for 1151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomW Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 NRT is now on Google Transit, along with all the local operators except NOTL (i.e. NF, St. Catherines, Welland and Fort Erie). See e.g. http://g.co/maps/ctq6k or http://g.co/maps/w9rdg (the latter is very convoluted compared with the car....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivablue5215 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 As of May 1, adult cash fares are now $6, with everybody else over 5 years old remaining at $5. New fare media introduced include a 10-ride ticket at a discounted price, along with monthly passes. All tickets and passes are valid on the local transit systems, whether you are transferring to and/or from regional transit buses. Transfers are now valid for 120 minutes instead of 60 minutes.

I also saw 1150 (Welland unit) with a bike rack which looks recently installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niatrans10 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Welland's 1151 also has a bike rack now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Does this mean that Welland Transit will put bike racks on all its active buses? Or is just a regional thing? I personally liked the Welland units because they didn't have bike racks, making them unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niatrans10 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 according to the driver I talked to, no, he says they don't need them in Welland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally liked the Welland units because they didn't have bike racks, making them unique. i guess only for the Regional units, there was an article (Welland Tribune?) about a passenger with a bike that ended up with a Welland-operated bus which didn't at the time.

Michael Taylor Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I was in the Falls today to shoot video of the Orion IVs and saw this WEGO LFS artic a couple of times. Plate is 743 3BF but I couldn't see any fleet number. The stored units at the bus garage all had fleet numbers. Anyone know which one it might be?

smallspy Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hmmmm... if this is a NPC unit, it looks like they got narrow centre and rear doors.... different from the other units...... Actually, only the rear-most doors are narrow. The middle doors are wide, which along with the wide 2/3rds front doors and the flush-mounted glazing is an interesting set of options.

Dan what I meant Dan, is in the pic it looks like (to me at least) that the center door is narrow, It could be the angle of the picture though.....

TomW Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 And I thought Edmonton was bad... Really? This sounds quite generous to me. The $5 fare was always a introductory rate, to go up to $6 when the service had bedded in. (Plus it includes free rides on your destination's transit system).

902 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Really? This sounds quite generous to me. The $5 fare was always a introductory rate, to go up to $6 when the service had bedded in. (Plus it includes free rides on your destination's transit system). Compared to other regional transit systems in Ontario it's expensive. For GRT and DRT it's the same fare across the board. And what if your trip starts somewhere other then where a regional bus goes, say Fairview Mall in St. Catharines for example? You have to pay the local fare then another 6 bucks for the regional fare. They wonder why no one's using it. For that price I'll stick to driving.

Gil Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Mr. Parberry is trying to woo Pelham to get his transit system off the ground. I assume it would provide connections with other transit agencies in Niagara Region (Welland/St. Catharines/NRT).
