Bus_Medic Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hence why vision installs are on hold, and why I said earlier that the. ‘31s aren’t in “service” yet. if everything were green lit right now, i’d Be busy working, instead of hanging out here, babysitting (my daughter). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happened to be in the area of Jane and Sheppard today and saw the unit driving south on Jane and then went westbound on Sheppard. I didn't take the bus I only saw it.

Doesn’t mean it wasn’t on a testing run. That’s the thing. Only the guys doing the testing, (they may not even be onboard) watching from a remote location, And possibly the operator themselves will really know.

Mar_AC_23 Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 As long as the bus was picking up passengers, the passengers paid bus fare, and they were taken from point A to point B on the route, which is what the driver of #3104 was doing. Then, the bus technically is in revenue service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus_Medic Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 So mark today as the in service date, but don’t come asking later why it disappeared from transee in the coming days, even weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTCBusfan21 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 What I’m thinking now is, the 3100-3369 will replace all 8400-8617, and send 8400-8617 to Malvern to replace the 15, 16, 17, 1800 batches of ng hev. 8 hours ago, Shemar said: Yes I did.

MK78 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 There is some bizarre stuff going on. I saw two "ghost" 3xxx buses today on nextbus, one was a 86E which was not there when the arrow went by my bus stop, also on 31 Greenwood there's a ghost bus which doesn't exist, as there are only two buses on this route during this time.

jmward Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 I got ghosted by a 200s bus and a 3000s bus on the 7 yesterday. Transit app said they were coming but no bus of any kind showed up. I can understand the tracker scrambling the fleet numbers... but realistically inventing coordinates and realistic travel speeds was very strange.

Yes that's the most bizarre thing. Unless they're simulating buses to see how vision is tracking them? But this shouldn't be showing live on the system that the public sees. I also see another bus on 31 Greenwood with fleet number supposed 345457, but that one was an actual Nova bus. I'll see if I can find out later which actual number.

There still running fine, and there only 11-12 years old. Won’t retire until atleast 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get a chance to ride on them? And if you did any pictures of the interior? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
