UpLift Vancouver Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I just confirmed that Novas and one D40LF (V7202) have invaded the 3 in both directions because of the detours to get around the Autumn Shift Festival... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountie Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Haven't posted on the forums, so you may as well consider me as a "new" user. Just a question though, is it common on Next Bus to see buses that have been cancelled to accommodate passengers at a particular stop? http://nb.translink.ca/Map/Stop/52588/Route/130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an operator goes Not In Service to skip a few stops, that won't be reflected on Next Bus/TComm. Unfortunately the link you provided is for live route details, so I can't see what was happening at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Bus Fan Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 The 7404, 7418, 7424 and 7427 are one the 555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go_leafs_go02 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Was the 555 running with all conventional today? or were there coaches still running as well. Usually AM peak has 6 buses running total on 7.5 minute headways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go_leafs_go02 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 2 Orion V as well. Must be trying other buses to deal with capacity issues. Still think there are passups in the AM peak at 156 Street on certain days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoCanGo Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Must be trying other buses to deal with capacity issues. Still think there are passups in the AM peak at 156 Street on certain days. Bingo. The passups are still occuring. Think they have to address PM Peak heading Eastbound. A 2 1/2 bus wait to get on a bus is unacceptable. This a very good problem as there were fears that this would route would bleed money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Bus Fan Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Why not try 60 ft buses on the 555? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Well at braid, the 555 used to share with the 791 so thats 80 feet. The 159 bay is 60 feet long. IDK about carvolth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the bays at Carvolth are built for 60 footers. I think part of the reason is trying to maintain highway speeds going up Johnston Hill, and wondering if an packed artic can keep speeds. Trucks struggle coming off the bridge into Surrey from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citaro Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 The 60 ft buses going to SFU maintaine 80 km per going up to SFU. No they do not. Artics can maintain a speed of 30-40 km/h (a little less when fully loaded); the fastest I have heard of a bus going up the hill was apx. 50 km/h (but this was an almost empty bus at night).

Express691 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I think the light at como lake/Gaglardi way is timed to slow down the buses. Only 1/8 times the NB 145 I was on powered through the intersection and gained momentum to blast up the hill. (B8110 on a sunday) It does 60-70 kph in thay section before slowing down to the grade.

BC Ferries Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 The 2007 D60LFR's can do decent speed with the ISM engine. Any other artic is pretty slow and this is from riding them daily back in the day. A 2007 D60LFR has the same amount of seats as an Orion V. A lot of standees on the 555 if that is the case. Remember the D60LFR's on the 257 do some highway hill climbing at high speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we just need to use the D60LFR and buy other 60 ft buses with ISM engine to go on the 135, 143, 145, 257 and the 555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
