busguy276 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Agreed. The thread is about incidents and collisions -- never said anything about them having to be new. I never knew about those and found them interesting... yeah It is old, there was a 1999 D40LF based out of Poco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Bus Fan Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I guess this would be the appropriate thread for what happened today, So earlier today their was a drive by shooting at 22nd St Stn that closed down the entire bus loop. All the buses were relocated to Edmonds Station and here are some crappy pictures that I took while waiting for 7168. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja Bus Fan Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 There's a switch problem between Scott Rd Stn and King George Stn at the moment. A temporary bus bridge has been in place at the moment and apparently all the 96 B-Line has been suspended till further notice. Looking at NB, it seems like they've only pulled buses from the 96 and 319 to work on the bus bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull buses from the two busiest routes during the morning rush, while not informing anyone on the ground. Saw some pictures from my friend. Newton Exchange and Surrey Central looked like an absolute gongshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Van Fan Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Forgot to mention this yesterday, 9669 was involved in a rear end collision at W 4th Avenue, bus is still okay but the front of the white compact car was smashed. Probably due to improper lane change or speeding. It was so bad, that the collision caused so many back-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Another skytrain breakdown, this one appears to be a late night one.8147 is the only shuttle I see at the moment. Makes sense as this happened not long before the last trains depart from Waterfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express691 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 UPDATE: 8:49am As per News1130 and Global, all transit will be free today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Bus Fan Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 UPDATE: 8:49am As per News1130 and Global, all transit will be free today. Just like last time, this doesn't really benefit users with a monthly pass. I personally think a reduction in monthly passes would be a better option than having a free transit day, especially with this kind of short notice.

Horrible circumstances considering there is a week left in the referendum. Two delays in a week occuring during the morning rush? Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard this may not affect the referdum because people are not blaming TransLink for mishandling of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does it could be for better because TransLink will be able to provide better SkyTrain service and when SkyTrain is down better replacement. Also on this poll more people said No to the question by .75%. http://globalnews.ca/news/2011396/update-full-service-restored-on-expo-line/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the comments, it seems that "No" in this poll = many people already had their minds set on no prior to this incident, so this incident did nothing to sway their opinion.

captaintrolley Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I didn't even know it was free transit until like the 4th bus I got on had the farebox bagged. Then I figured Translink was atoning for the Skytrain fiasco. I just like not having to dig my pass out of my bag every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
