The reason I mention this is that Boxing Day service is a Sunday schedule. Wasn't expecting the 160 to have artics on Boxing Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnorsCompShow Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 397 on a 36 just passed by my 306 on 29. Edit: run is 36-6. Switched to 160 going north about 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivablue5215 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 I've noticed 979 parked outside FRG (behind the fishbowl) for a few weeks now. Is it out for long term repairs or retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure what’s going on, as far as I can tell the farebox is still inside which means it’s not retired yet, but considering 975 and 987 took a while to come back into service I would assume it’s being worked on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s awesome if true (even though almost NONE of the Bishop Grandin stops can handle them without hanging out into the intersection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viafreak Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Noticed the last couple of times that I have biked past the Fort Rouge Garage on Osborne that there is a D60LF parked along the fence with various parts missing. It doesn't have a fleet number but has a license plate. Looks to be one of the ex-OC Transpo (Ottawa) units judging by the decals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never completed as a Winnipeg bus and instead was cannibalized for parts. It sat inside Fort Rouge Garage on track 36 for a long time. It was probably moved to permit asbestos remediation underway along the east side of FRG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crestview that shows up to 10546 at 3:50 would always fill right to the yellow line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnorsCompShow Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 While lurking the SkyscraperPage forum I noticed someone bring up that they apparently saw a XD60 doing a 48 run on Thursday. At first I was gonna call BS and ask if someone here saw that happening but then I remembered I've got a camera pointing out into my backyard, and lo and behold...it happened on one of the AM runs. Should also add that apparently it deadheads afterwards to St. Anne's/Shorehill and does one inbound 59 run. Edit: I guess this is a regular occurrence that I wasn't aware of because it happened again today. I think I know what I'm doing Monday for posterity before the schedule change hits. 1595658196.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilZebra Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 What are these 99xx series buses about? The video was posted 1 month ago, but I know that the OC Transpo buses were bought in 2012. The 40 footers are from Calgary? And I dont think the video was from 2020 because no one was wearing masks. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find information about them on the wiki 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viafreak Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 With the current schedule, the 54 and 59 get an artic on the first run of the morning, which becomes BLUE buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove the first 9, and you get the original number (for example, 9425 would've originally been 425). The Calgary buses, as every veteran of this site should know by now, are 641 to 664.
