Yes. A mechanic can pop the horn button off the steering wheel and disconnect the wire assuming the horn button was the issue. However any bus without a working horn is not to be driven due to safety issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there’s other factors as well; steel frame, wiring, as well as age. At this point it’s all speculation. Maybe she comes back, and maybe she doesn’t.

If the frame is not bent I'm sure a new side panel can be reinstalled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup along with the doors and whatever parts need to be repaired or replaced. Even if ICBC doesn't give the full amount for the repair, CMBC will probably pay for the rest since the bus has at least 8 years left in its lifespan. Unless ICBC decides to write it off, not sure if CMBC would have any way. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millennium2002 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 That video is not clear enough... That bus could have easily been just a witness of the actual accident who then pulled over for legal reasons... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the maintenance equipment has been moved to the outbound track between Royal Oak and Metrotown, and the outbound trains are going around it through the pocket track right there. Also, the train I was on announced "This is a Millennium Line train to Production Way-University" at Patterson and Metrotown, which I thought was a bit amusing. I assume this was turned on this morning because of the single tracking, and the incorrect line announcement is an artifact from the old service pattern. And apologies for the double post.

Earlier this year I got on a VCC Clark train at Metrotown and hearing " This is a Expo Line train to VCC Clark " was strange but cool to hear. I thought it was just a glitch but the train actually went to VCC Clark. It was really weird riding a 6 car MK 1 set on the Millennium Line.
