That would be a 194xx, its been parked there for a few weeks, maybe a couple months. From what I've seen it has had its rear right side repaired. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed it all day yesterday while driving the 351, it's four way hazard lights were flashing all day so the battery is likely drained now.

Thanks for calling that out. Thought I was the only one who paid attention to such things. I don't get it. Here is an expensive, high-profile piece of equipment with hundreds of complex systems and parts -- and -that's- the detail they miss? It's like an insult to the whole vehicle. We've painstakingly built this beautiful machine -- but we can't be bothered with a small-but-visible feature that would cost like 50 cents to get right. Translink's "brand" font is consistent -- though it's not custom. It's FF Meta -- either the Medium or Bold weight, with some hand-applied kerning. I know some buses use Helvetica for fleet number decals. That's not great either but I can overlook it -- Helvetica has earned status as the "de facto" font for things like fleet numbers. But Arial?! That just looks cheap. These are the kinds of things that customers notice without noticing. Every cut corner subtly makes the system appear less "together". Good news is, it's easy to replace these limp Arial decals with Meta! Heck, I'll even shell out a fat $100 so CMBC can retrofit the whole set of 21400s! 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad works in South Surrey, and he said 19401 was out of the ditch by this morning. I noticed that the doors were open, so along with possible exterior damage, there could be some water damage inside 19401. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause from the new Go transit deckers it was mandated as of Sept 1 2020 by Transport Canada for unitd built pass that dat I haven't looked inside the new buses myself, but I don't believe they do (I could be wrong). Go Transit is an intercity transit system where Translink is a more traditional transit system, and even though Translink buses travel on the highway and within cities, by definition, they are not an intercity transit service and thus the seatbelt mandate from Transport Canada doesn't apply to Translink. Just like the new Arctics, they don't have seatbelts and 60fters are used on "highway" runs all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver seats are always equipped with a 3 point seatbelt. The more interesting part is whether passenger seats have a 3 point seatbelt. The newest GO Transit double deckers have them and so there has been quite a bit of speculation whether the 214xx have the passenger seatbelts or not.

I believe the answer is no, seatbelts are only been required on intercity services whereas TransLink qualifies as a municipal transit service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
