Also whats the reason for the plates on the wiki? In 10 years on here, I only referenced the plates on the wiki once for some old friends who provided info for a bus through its plates to fill in the feedback forms (and even then the criticism goes back even further). Said bus merged into traffic without signals and caused minor damage the side of their car. Nothing was heard of after the form was sent so I doubt any leads were made. Given how rare such instances occur (and let alone produce any result), and given the fact that the chances of licence plates being moved from old buses to new buses are astronomically low (there are more than 6 million combinations), the value of keeping track of plates has little meaning. This is not just a Vancouver issue; other sections have also brought this up I'm sure. You can talk about defensive driving in your private group messages.

Michael Marriott Posted Tuesday at 07:19 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:19 PM The plates are on the wiki or tracked in this thread because some people are interested in it. And that is all the reason that is needed; after all one could just as easily make the argument that making notes of things like which units have had engine swaps or have been in accidents is just historical trivia that also isn't useful to anyone today. So, let people enjoy the things they are interested in. If you're not interested in tracking the license plates of buses that's fine. No one is forcing you to read this thread, you can just ignore it. Just because something is not of interest or relevant to you personally does not mean it should be a taboo subject. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, it seems that you got it all wrong, I'm not complaining that this is a thread, I am just simply wondering why we track plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
