It’s their “air-intake” for something, I’m just not sure what. Trolley 33 is like them too. 3011 wasn’t old enough but it had the mileage to be retired. Those cut-away vans were lemons since we got them, they were awful. They are all being replaced by 30ft hybrids from gillig. We have 3019-3024 now on the lot. They were just delivered. I know we’ve retired two 4000’s busses (4011 but I don’t know the other one) but they won’t be making any mass retirement yet. also whats the difference in the old AVL and the new AVL?

JyQuez Edwards Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 In the near future will KAT be willing to add 30 minute service on Sundays and later evening service on the route 90 and 30 minute service on 23/33 instead of running every hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had the bus operators, I think they will.

icyysdream Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Does anyone have any videos of the new buses and AVL? I keep trying to find one but I’ve been busy as I’m a Junior at Bearden High. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busboy335 Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 4012 and 4010 have been retired. (I think KPD got them to train on). 4008 and 4021 are still with us. They were just spares in the last shakeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoFan623 Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 I bet all of you guys have seen KAT's two maps for their reimagined project. I downloaded their Coverage map & added the routes that I want to see on it (Beware, I drew the lines using the trackpad on my laptop, plus my wireless mouse lol) Here is my map: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PpxWcIxxwn1PeF6zLljm4q8lh8I-2B-5/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busboy335 Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Couple of things to keep in mind about the route redesign: we will be blending the two together, it won’t be all ridership nor all coverage. 2.) we don’t want the full coverage option - this is because most route become hourly on that option because there’s more routes than now - we want to blend them because in the ridership scenario, Sunday service is all half hourly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JyQuez Edwards Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Does that mean that there’ll be new routes or the routes we have now in the future would be going to new services or changing the routes and scheduling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a few new routes. Plus some better service on some routes. That is my best guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busboy335 Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 So, it depends. Basically the two concepts are meant to contrast each other, then we’ll come together and create a new map based on the feedback we receive. There will be new routes, but we have to balance our resources. That’s why, for example, there’s way more routes but far lower frequency in the coverage concept and fewer routes but much higher frequency on the ridership concept. In fact, ridership concept includes 15 minute service on key routes on Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ok that would be good to have new routes and changes to services with the routes we have and also which bus route do you drive now since they changed the buses on certain routes cause I don’t see you on the 12 western bus anymore when I go to work at Food City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busboy335 Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 We had a shakeup (schedule change) and I’m all mornings now haha. I do something different every day now too. I kind of enjoy it but I do miss my old 12! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
