If they need to use D40LF to increase capacity on the 555. It is maybe time for the 555 to get 15 minutes frequency seven days and all day excluding peak periods will be keep the same.

I got the chance to ride the 555 both ways on 7438 this afternoon and on both rides the bus was somewhat full with maybe about 10 seats available. If this how it is during 30 minute frequency then, when they increase it to about every 15 minutes the bus should be half empty or maybe even less on board.

Its Mostly Inspection Time for the PTC Orion V's which every bus gets to find out weather its still in good operating order or weather there is a problem then that bus wont be allow back on the road until its fix. Most likely the Orion V's will back on the 555 tomorrow.

Quite cloudy in my memory, but has anyone noticed any BTC support for the 214 in recent months?

I noticed this last week and questioned it when i saw a 9400 Nova running the route.

Yes, a few select trips in the early peak morning hours

[Express691]

Additionally, at the time this was posted, they were doing PM peak trips.

Currently, Retirement export does not show any BTC on 214 on the PM rush; it is suggested that either they moved all BTC trips on the route to the AM rush, or the bus that ran the trip in the PM got called in to replace another bus, which means it was listed with that bus' block instead of listing as a 214.

RTC is in charge of the C98. 7264 and a dieselized 33xx did it this am.

Ill try and get it for you when it does its next loop back from Newton

3104 was confirmed crushed right?

[Marlow1331]

3104 was confirmed crushed right?

I would assume so, but im not sure.

3104 was confirmed crushed right?

It's soul lives on?

I think it's a 1998 D40LF. I saw one going SB at Surrey Central and it's not showing up on TCOMM.

[Marlow1331]

Yeah i went hunting for it . I disappeared off T-comm on 152nd

[GoCanGo]

Yeah i went hunting for it . I disappeared off T-comm on 152nd

Is this a test or a phantom bus? lt never arrived at Surrey Central

[Express691]

Probably recycled equipment from the original 3104. Or it could be a mistake when the driver logged into Tcomm on entry into the shift?

[Express691]

I think this presumed "3104" is likely a D60LF. Notice that it has been running as 096 for all its registered blocks.

[Ninja Bus Fan]

I'm at Newton Exch right now and 3104 is actually 8011.

The bus number is programmed into the tmac when it is installed in said bus. Not sure how this happened though.

[Express691]

Can confirm that the 1805 trip on route 395 uses an Orion V bus (at least in this sheet)

9227 did it last night...

while 9224 did it the night before.

From NinjaBusFan, this bus was scheduled on this block at the beginning of the day.

Im expecting it to be switched out before it goes on the 430, but there are Christmas Shoppers at Metrotown that could require the extra load.

If I'm not mistaken, it's doing the 430 as we speak. http://tcomm.bustrainferry.com/mobile/bus/12023

[Express691]

Yeah I got a snapchat from NinjaBusFan showing that it was on the 430/

[Ninja Bus Fan]

I rode 12023 on the 430 to Metrotown Stn and throughout the ride, it was fairly empty. Also at Metrotown Stn theirs about 5 people waiting for the 430 right now, so I doubt 12023 is doing a Christmas shoppers load or what ever.
