Express691 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 9728 has return to NTC yesturday from BTC. ...Complimented by 9606's return to BTC this am. 7264 has been transferred to STC. May be compensation for 7250's accident and there were quite a bit (25-ish) STC buses that did not see service on the 29th (including spares). http://tcomm.bustrainferry.com/mobile/bus/7264 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlow1331 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 9712 & 9724 have been transferred to BTC. 9724 also seems to have the new numbering font on it. (Not sure if that has been identified or not yet.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Van Fan Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 As per quote, Marlow1331, I saw V9724 (before it got transferred) with the new font while I was on the 20 Victoria from Kingsway a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORDOOM Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 So is there a particular reason for moving all the LFS HEVs to Vancouver TC? Is it just fleet consolidation? Are the Vancouver routes that much more stop-and-go than in Burnaby? Are the hybrids better able to keep to trolleybus schedules during dieselization? Or is it because of complaints about routes like the #15 and #33 not being all-hybrid? Or some combination of the above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Bus Fan Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Maybe it has something with BTC taking over NVTC Transit centre routes within a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Since hybrids dont do good on the hills, I assume they want as much of them off the 106, 112, and 144. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormscape Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 They need to just outright ban the hybrids from the 130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brando737 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 The most likely reason is because BTC is taking over NVTC completely. Vancouver routes do tend to have much more stop and go compared to Burnaby routes and the stops are closer in Vancouver as well. The 106 112 and 144 are going to HTC in September along with other BTC routes. Basically anything that goes to New West station and Edmonds station will be transferred to HTC. Other depot's will be sending work to HTC as well. On the topic of hybrids and hills, I did and N19 on Easter Monday with S15005 and it went up Sixth from Columbia amazingly. Got up to 40km/h quickly and slowly picked up more speed after that. HEV's have struggled to get up 20km/h on that hill and the engine would be at full power. Back on topic of bus transfers, sort of, at this point HTC will be a mix of CNG and diesel. No mention of hybrids at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say though. With a full load. The smooth brakes of the hybrids definitely compared to the diesel models. Although each bus varys, 9410 & 9411 are both ROCKETSHIPS! those two will destroy any diesel off the line and so forth. The reason the hybrids are so slow is because they are all in Economy mode. If they were in Sport mode, like 9410 & 9411, they wouldnt all perform the same, but they will definitely perform better on the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
