It also said something to do with Bayshore Station or something? I couldn't hear the announcement properly because the buses were very loud.

The announcements you hear are two separate announcements pertaining to changes coming to the 11 and 107, in that order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 The announcement for the 11 is just saying that it will no longer travel between Bayshore and Lincoln fields, then the announcement for the 107 is just saying that it will be renamed Replacement 2. -Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Random question, but does anybody know of a link (or a link you can modify) that brings you to PDF versions of schedules for all routes by changing a link on the OC Transpo website? I tried doing it through the route 63 page where it brings you to a PDF timetable, but switching the route number did not work for me. -Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, some of the D60LFs had gotten fareboxes from retired 1998 Orion Vs when they were in the process of retiring them.

MCIBUS Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Well by this time next year OC will have 175 fareboxes from the Orion VII's and 81 from the 81 retired Invero's. Grant you 81 will be going to the Nova LFS from the 81 Invero's they retire and 19 will be going to the DD buses in 2019 from the retired Orion VII's which leaves about 156 fareboxes left for spares.

Waiting for 30 Minutes Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 If memory serves me correct, all the D60LFs, double-deckers, Inveroes, and a portion of the D60LFRs (one-third?) have the older fareboxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loud-Invero Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Maple leaf sign Past Carp / kittiwake coming from Stittsville. It has "262" on it in the connexion route design. Also, I'm noticing that alot of newer connexion route symbols are fading so badly. Like the 256 sticker at Robertson / Fitzgerald is only 7 months old yet starting to fade like it's 10 years old. Same thing at the 256 stop at Robertson / Baseline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
