Transit Windsor's new plan will include On Demand Transit to North Talbot factories and South Windsor Detention Centre, The New Hospital Terminal on CR 42 is way far off from reality.    I like the plan but having 60ft buses will have to wait until the garage is expanded or other one built.  its too bad they didn't buy the land that the GM transmission plant was.  too explain on demand transit the bus will wait at a terminal waiting for a passenger to call for a ride, it will cost the same as if you are on regular transit.

The first day for bus service to Leamington didn't get a same news treatment that the LaSalle 25 got on its first day.  i'm surprise that AM800CKLW or WindsoriteDOTca  didn't have their reporters out for the first run of the LTW 42.  Not surprise that TW would use their 2018 Novas on this route.   don't know how long this route will last, i also wonder how the ridership is? Just checked the tracker and 8020 is on route 42.

Just a thought if Transit Windsor wanted to standardize their fleet with Nova. the Problem with that is in 5-10yrs they will require 35ft buses for the feeder routes and Nova doesn't even offer it.

If they went with New Flyer than their fleet would in 5-15yrs would have 35-60ft buses by NFI.  If they stay with Nova then they would have to do with New Flyer just for the 35ft buses.  

Just my thoughts

I cant remember which council meeting agenda i read it in but i think they were planning on ordering for 2 years. Placing an order in 2019 and 2020 with deliveries in 2020 and 2021. If it ends up going through it would be for 19 buses total. But thats just what i read in a council agenda, doesnt mean it will happen either.   If anyone likes i can look for it later if they wanna have a read.

The Dominion 5 must be busy today as there's 6 buses on it today! 615, 564, 635, 609, 556 &  8007. Normally there's only 4 buses that I've seen.

Also 3 on the tunnel where I normally see one or two buses. 8026, 8020 & 570.
