MaT Posted June 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Ok so heres some big news. Proposed new routes, and there is a lot of them. Well see how this changes over the next while.

Girardin71 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 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.

MaT Posted July 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Well the information has been released. LTW route 42, im guessing meaning Leamington To Windsor. Starts monday July 8th. https://windsorite.ca/2019/07/transit-from-leamington-to-windsor-starts-next-week/ https://www.leamington.ca/en/our-community/ltw-transit.aspx https://www.leamington.ca/en/our-community/schedule-and-map.aspx Also on Transit Windsor's online tracker https://windsor.mytransitride.com/Home/Desktop# 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaT Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Well the bus on the first run of the 42 LTW is 8010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girardin71 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) 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. https://blackburnnews.com/windsor/windsor-news/2019/07/08/new-bus-route-leamington-windsor-makes-history/ https://windsorstar.com/news/local-news/regional-bus-service-gets-rolling-with-windsor-leamington-run Edited July 9, 2019 by Girardin71 news outlets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girardin71 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaT Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I dont think theyre going to standardize a fleet with anyone. Its whoever gets the lowest bid. I also doubt they would use a 35ft bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion6025 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Are there any more buses on order? I just realized Transit Windsor probably has the oldest Orion 7 and D40i buses around (Those 2002s...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaT Posted July 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girardin71 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Yes they are for a total of 20 buses. Likely Nova? or something else. 10 for 2020 delivery 10 for 2021 delivery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion6025 Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Do the Orions, Invernos, and 2005 Novas ever run when school is not in session or do the lack of school trippers lay them up in the garage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
