laliok Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Small detail I've noticed on the 204x's are that they have rear destination signs again unlike 1740. I wonder if they're gonna add one to 1740 so all of st. catharines regional's will have the rear sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I forgot to mention about 2040-43, plus no tip in windows as well, had photos sent to me by my contact when they first arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
map.man (Darrin) Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Noticed that the NRT OnDemand pilot has started in Lincoln, Grimsby and Pelham, replacing (at least temporarily) conventional transit services in the West Niagara section of the Regional Municipality of Niagara. Am curious on how well "microtransit", if the term is used correctly, will be embraced by riders. https://www.niagararegion.ca/transit/on-demand/default.aspx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I caught it in Thorold earlier today, not sure if it had just entered service or if it was already in service but wasn't tracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban_96 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 I’m interested in the screens inside the latest LFS order. What do they display? Just weather/news etc., or do they also show the next stop and things like that like they do in Toronto and NYC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember, the screens say the route, next few stops with the next stop at the top, weather and news (which rn i think is the just a covid mask notice and nrt on demand). It's really nice (and imo nicer than what the signs in Toronto say) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton.area.transit Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Does NFT have any more Orion OGs left? I know they just retired at least 4. If they have some left, i want to make a trip down to Niagara to fan the OGs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulated Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Polite reminder that this is the thread for discussion of Niagara Region Transit, the intermunicipal service (at least until the merger happens). Discussion related to local service within Niagara Falls should probably be going in the Niagara Falls Transit thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
