Applies to transit all the same. I wish Jasper had a similar system, I was dismayed to find zero transit options when I visited a few years ago. Really disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back about four years ago, I visited Banff without a car for the first time. Between Roam and On-It, it was so liberating! Roam Transit has very good frequencies now on the backbone local routes, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of local service to the south end of the townsite speaks volumes about who this will be for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Does anyone know if ROAM has a bus or vehicle numbered 1037 and if so, what type and model is it? I recently got info that there is now new Proterra's numbered 1032, 1036, 1038, & 1039, but have not heard if there is a 1037 or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyC62 Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 A few shots of Proterras from today's trip to Banff. Really wish they didn't automate their dingers to sound off every few seconds - gets rather annoying when sitting on those lovely patios! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T6H-5307N Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 According to the VIN, it turns out that Roam #1034 (the one random ex demonstrator Proterra Catalyst BE40 they picked up) was previously ETS #6014, one of the two demonstrators that Edmonton borrowed for operator training back in 2019-20. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlo86 Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 So the wiki shows 1001 to 1004 as retired last March. These are the 2008 Nova LFS HEV. 1003 eas burnt up. However it appears 1001 has been brought back? See the screenshot from the tracking app taken just now. Maybe due to possible shortages of parts on the Proterras due to the company filing for bankruptcy? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
