The buttons a) don't work about two minutes after the bus has entered service, b) have to be replaced about once every two days, and c) TRIGGER THE STOP REQUEST BELL EVERY SINGLE BUMP IN THE ROAD I'm also telling you right now, as a Hatter, be thankful for anything to request a stop at all. Whenever a bus breaks down, they put whatever spare Special Transit bus in its place. Usually, these are 7 seaters without stop request signs. They fill up fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Shuttle Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 One of the S302-304 shuttles at WC Remarketing is missing. Probably having a date with the heat gun right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Shuttle Posted March 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 The shuttle mentioned in my last reply as well as S303 are back in the WC lot with no visible changes. Perhaps they just went out to have some issues fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Shuttle Posted March 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Seems like TransLink is making WCR repaint shuttles before selling them off now. There are a few white GMC shuttles with telltale signs of previous ownership in the WCR lot and the paint looks super fresh, along with a Handy Dart that had the yellow part repainted black. I guess removing the vinyl from shuttles still leaves them looking too much like TransLink buses (and that's actually true because I've been thrown off by the shuttle Ace runs for Accent Inns). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Shuttle Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 It is now confirmed that TransLink is repainting shuttles before selling them as there is an S1300 Aerotech painted white in the WCR lot. They still go to All Tune Car Care in Richmond to be stripped of vinyls (two Aero Elites there right now, being stripped), but they make one more stop at an unknown paint shop before going back to WCR for transfer to Repo.

Community Shuttle Posted May 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Unknown 2014 S1300 being sold directly by WCR. Not repainted, VIN 1GB6G5BG1E1105360. Condition report suggests TransLink leases shuttles. https://www.wcremarket.com/vehicle_detail.php?16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Dunlop Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Interesting. TransLink puts less mileage on their "community shuttle" buses than Victoria does. Victoria's 2014 Arbocs have around 315-330k kilometers on the odometer. The 2013s have around 360,000 km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake M Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Don't know if this is known already nor if anyone cares nor if this is the right thread BUT I saw S360 and another former TransLink shuttle driving around the industrial park in Abbotsford today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Van Fan Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Two or all three of the ex-shuttles (S302-S304) were spotted as Tsawwassen Mills Shuttle buses, while I took the double decker to Tsawwassen Ferry a week ago. Didn't have time to grab my phone and took a shot of it. SMH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
