sdgta2008 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Good day folks, I'm starting a new trend on Transpo's Rural Partners such as Delaney (Cornwall and SD&G), TEO, CR Transpo, Trillium (Embrun/Russell), Galland Service to Carleton Place, etc... Feel free any comments on spottings, expansions, cuts, news, and opinions. Thanks SDGTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdgta2008 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Usual service reductions for the summer. Are those two buses their old Prevost H-Series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_L Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 They were 1998 H3s, a 41 and a 45. 3921 used to have a wolf on it. Both were just white with the black Leduc logo for the past few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadooment95 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I find it interesting how Thom Transportation has been listed as a company that you can get this pass with...I called them up since I live in Arnprior. I can use the 500 super express if I need to, but they told me that OC shouldn't have listed them since they want no part of the pass system. I'm sure you can all guess why.

Jay_L Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Sad to hear, but unfortunately expected. City shuttles with no public fund backing them is hard business. The best you can hope for is to break even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCIBUS Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 If you run a a Commuter service you need more then that to sustain your biz. The reason 417,Thom Transport,CRT(LeDuc)(which is actually owned by 417) don't have issues running commuter services into Ottawa is they also do alot of charter work which cuts down their cost of doing biz.

Jay_L Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Leduc Bus Lines isn't owned by 417 Bus Lines. If anything, they're each others biggest competiton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCIBUS Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Not according to 417 Bus Lines web site. If you look under they're history section it says they own them unless they sold them and didn't change their web site info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Nowhere on this webpage does it say Leduc Bus and 417 Bus Line are the same company.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdgta2008 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Does any know if Greyhound buses pass through Rockland on the weekend?

I tried the site and said there's only one eastbound bus stops in Rockland at 3am, but there are none going to Ottawa. It doesn't make any sense... I found this link, and it looks as if you're right about the 3 AM stop, but at least there's a 1:40 AM stop westbound. http://extranet.greyhound.com/Revsup/csked2/pdf/2717.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdgta2008 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I was in Rockland this evening, saw one of CR Transpo's Nova LFS on Laurier St at 7pm. It was too dark to get the number... It looks like they either added a roll sign or a printed cardboard for a destination sign with the 530 Clarence-Rockland displayed. I thought those buses had Axion LED signs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomW Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 OK, I've been reading OC Transpo's website, and I'm slightly confused. If I read it right, then to use a regional monthly pass you must have a photo pass (OK...), which you can only get from a handful of OC Transpo Sales Centres (OK...), BUT you can't buy the regional monthly pass there - you have to buy from the provider! In other words, you have to buy the photo pass and the monthly pass from two separate places. Am I right, or have I missed something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdgta2008 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 New schedule for Route 530. Not much difference, just a few trips leaving later: http://en.clarence-rockland.com/files/%7B2EE0E56A-2835-4CF1-BBB9-1E3E38763D2A%7DHoraire%20530%2010%20run%205%20november%202012%282%29.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
