Also, this isnt the right place to talk about the electric buses. There is a thread for those in the main greater toronto area section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrazsteve Posted December 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 There was a time 8608-8617 were temporarily at Eglinton. It wasn't till this year old livery Novas made it back to the east end. New livery Novas were rare in the west end till the 3100's arrival at Arrow. They are a common sighting at Kipling now.

Yeah I remember they were sent to Eglinton from June-September due to the S50 VII retirements and the increased shuttles that Eglinton would be operating in the next board period.

T3G Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 8604 is not being used to train ops on the bus according to a couple of operators in the Toronto Transit FB group. It's being used for AODA training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AODA training is how to properly load and secure passengers using mobility devices. They still use the bus as a classroom, it just doesn’t go anywhere.

They still use the bus as a classroom, it just doesn’t go anywhere. Interesting you mention that, I've never once seen a bus operator secure any mobility device with the restraints. It happens rarely, but sometimes they don't even get out of the seat but holler to the passengers to lift the seat up, and that goes back to when the Orion VII's first came out in the east end here. Myself if I'm in the lower section I always lift up the seat if I see a person with a mobility chair is about to board, same if I'm getting on the bus, I will tell the person on the mobility device that I will board first and lift up the seat. Operators appreciate that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To that end, there’s a certain infamous passenger simply known as “Lily” that immensely enjoys making life miserable for operators...boarding, insisting on being secured with ALL available equipment, only to request and alight at the very next stop. Anything less than flawless textbook execution of the procedure results in a customer service complaint from her. She’s known systemwide. She views her hyper vigilance as making the system better for others using mobility devices I guess....holding the TTC’s “feet to the fire” as it were. Sucks for the other 45 people now delayed 10 minutes for one wheelchair only travelling 800 metres. Instructors mention her as an example of a possible worst case scenario in classroom sessions. Perhaps Leylandvictory2 can chime in, as I don’t particularly know the traffic side policy all that well. My purview begins and ends with all the hooks and retractors being free and functioning as intended. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arw>Bir: #8601 How about you leave the admining to the admins please? In fairness to @7575, @Shemar's original post listed those 3 units as "being transferred to Birchmount"; he later edited his post to say they were at Birchmount. I'll give the benefit of the doubt to 7575 that he made his post before Shemar edited his. And as for the unit *you* posted, 8601 was reported as at Birchmount by @Ultimate 3 hours before you made your post. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My purview begins and ends with all the hooks and retractors being free and functioning as intended When a passenger in the mobility device boards you ask them if they would like to be secured. Most like 99.9% don't so you wait for them to park and apply brakes and you're good to go. If they do want to be secured then you obviously secure them. If they are riding Wheel Trans they always get secured. I've been told there is a passenger that does this. I've never seen them personally.
