map.man (Darrin) Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 12 minutes ago, Mike said: Will they assign numbers to local routes in Niagara-on-the-Lake (2xx) and Port Colborne (6xx) to fit the numbering scheme for bus routes in the region? The Fort Erie is #22, while Port Colborne is #25. NOTL has the Heritage Route as #1, and Glendale as #2. In all fairness, no route numbers are shared across Niagara unless you count ULinc routes 1 and 2, plus their number 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 I meant that they renumbered Niagara Falls local routes to be 1xx, St Catherines 3xx and 4xx, Welland 5xx and Fort Erie 7xx. This seems to suggest that NOTL should be 2xx and Port Colborne 6xx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked it out on the Welland Transit map/schedule. Does list them there in the 700-series. Slipped right on by me. Note: 200-series routes are assigned to evening and weekend services on Niagara Falls Transit. So...(thus far) 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75: Niagara Region Transit (all times) and regional routes by other agencies 1##: Niagara Falls Transit (Weekday/Saturday Daytime) 2##: Niagara Falls Transit (Weekday and Saturday Evening/Sunday) 3##: St. Catharines Transit (Weekday/Saturday Daytime) 4##: St. Catharines Transit (Weekday and Saturday Evening/Sunday) 5##: Welland Transit (all times, Weekday, Saturday and Sunday) 701, 702: Port Colborne Transit 750, 760, 770 Fort Erie Transit. In the grand scheme of things, I believe there is going to be a "dynamic" named shuttle between Port Colborne and Fort Erie, connecting the southern-most section of Niagara RM points. I have to look at a handout I have, it may be implemented around 2023-ish. There could also be another westerly reaching route, but don't have the info in front of me to properly quote it. 801, 802, 803: Pelham Transit (Weekdays) 931, 932, 933: ULinc (Town of Lincoln) (Weekday and Saturday) Still not integrated:: Niagara-on-the-Lake Transit (1 Old Town and 2 Heritage-Old Town) WEGO Visitor Transportation (Red Line, Blue Line and Green Line). Also, though treated separately, GO Transit route 11 and 12 (AFAIK) don't have matching route numbers in the region. All in all, interesting changes.

TechnicianKeith Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Welland borrowed SCT 1802 for NRT 60-65 this morning. Also, NRT 1141 was seen leaving Niagara College with its sign set to "Special" instead of a regional route. 0251 returned to regular service as 60-65 this afternoon.

Also worth noting, the region is thinking of revising the 60-65 schedule, once again. They were testing the possible revisions earlier this week.

laliok Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I've noticed that St. Catharines is slowly upgrading their real time bus tracker to support all the routes in Niagara. Even though there's no actual real time bus tracking on the routes yet, all regional routes, and Niagara Falls + WEGO routes have been added. (Also worth noting is that the website says that the WEGO routes are going to be 6##) http://whereis.yourbus.com/bustime/map/displaymap.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnicianKeith Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) I'm surprised that 0251 is up for sale. They didn't even run it for that long. It's not a bad deal for a minimum bid of $1500, though. Edited April 15, 2019 by TechnicianKeith More information added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SCT Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Service updates will come in effect as of September 3rd; https://www.niagararegion.ca/transit/2019/routes.aspx Routes 22 Niagara Falls/Fort Erie and 25 Welland/Port Colborne will now run every hour. Welland Transit's Brock Link bus will be replaced by the 70/75A which will follow the same routing, but includes a stop in Pelham. St. Catharines Route 26 will be replaced with a 40/45B which follows the same routing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicianKeith Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Unit 1950 (o/o by Welland Transit for NRT) will be out of commission, temporarily. The 2019 Novabus was involved in a collision causing significant front-end damage yesterday, as the 70/75. There were no injuries, but the bus needs bodywork before it can run again.

Three broken windows, structural damage, and damage to the driver's front wheel, as far as I heard. A tech from Novabus in St-Eustache, QC was supposed to come out to take a look at it.
