They have a good graphic design team. Yeah that does look slick indeed. I wonder if they may use them on the priority bus lane routes only?

Doppelkupplung Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Exactly, the 900 branded 8000s are case in point. Beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, a bus is a bus when needed, perhaps I should have said "maybe they will be used primarily on the priority bus lane routes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTC Guy Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 I agree, I do like how they have started to do a lot of these livery’s; first with 3411 and the Hybrid swoop, then the E-Buses and now the Rapid-To livery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, its not a huge extra distance to the other stop, as I'm sort of in between, but I will now have to board at Kingston & Guildwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 8708 also has the wrap. A total of 15 buses have the wrap and they are just for public outreach and not for dedicated service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK78 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Thanks for posting the pic. I guess this completely removes the folding function. But I guess with COVID not going away anytime soon, and operator safety, this is probably permanent regardless. Curious to know if there is any thing supporting that plexi near the windshield, cuz that will vibrate otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does say it is a prototype, so they are testing to see what works and what needs to be changed. Especially since buses operate around the clock.

Have you seen any on revenue vehicles yet or are they still being prototyped/tested? These days I'm only taking Birchmount buses, I haven't noticed anything different with respect to the operator shields yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some drivers were complaining about the glare generated by the plastic shield. I am actually concern about the tinted shield. What you are driving in an area with poor lighting, you can't really see the right mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
