M. Parsons Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Dare I suggest that potential contributers are limited to submitting 1 photo per week? Perhaps even require an actual caption which explains what/where/when/why is going on that makes the image something that would fit what Tallis said at the start: "We're looking for the best and most interesting transit photographs. Nice New Orleans pics too TimmyC62! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2044 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 The onus is on the user to make the case for why their photo should be featured, so yes, a description would be helpful. We'd also like people to keep in mind the photograph quality standards we have. This not meant to discourage anyone, but a couple of the photos that have been submitted do not meet these guidelines. And we should note, these are just guidelines. We do not mean to say every photo has to be a 3/4 view so-called "roster shot". 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1604 Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has contributed their photographs so far! Some really nice shots have been posted. Going through only one picture a week, it might take a little while for your photo to be featured, but if we like your picture we'll definitely get to it. We're not necessarily going through the thread in terms of first come first serve, either. I've updated the original post in this thread to include a few notes and help clarify the process. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Spruce Grove Transit 6900 approaching the flyer-over from 68 Ave within the South Campus lands to Fox Drive. Formerly, this was a bus only road, but, seems to have been opened up to all traffic now. Spruce Grove XD40's hold down all service on the 562 now, and can be see on the 560 as well.
