I have a question on how they retire buses. While I was walking by Hamilton garage,  I saw that one of the buses in the bad order line (7282) had a yellow card in the window. The last bus I saw with that card in the window was 3285? I believe that was listed on the wiki as retired 2016. I'm just wondering if the yellow card means that the bus is pegged for retirement.

In Vtc, they use a white coloured piece of cardboard with red lettering :)

7199, 7212, 7213, 7360, 7391, 7402. are those units retired? I went to t-comm never find any of their service schedules these days, i don't know, i'm a new wiki editor

May I invoke the iconic case of Orion 9205, which saw no activity for 11 months one time before coming back: if a bus has no history on tcomm, and even if the retirement export shows it hasn't seen service for a few months, there could be many reasons why it isn't seeing service, and so you can't assume its retired. (Even if the bus type in general is being retired)

Congrats on the new title of Wiki editor!!! I was thinking you would do a great job with that!

You just convinced yourself that route training was a route and blamed him for your fault.

Or maybe that's how the INIT sees it. I suppose when the garage does this kind of driver familiarization training they program the route in advance so the computer can alert when the bus goes off-route. A bonus is that there's no rush to ensure all vehicles are so programmed by the time revenue service commences.
