LF60 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Does the average rider even care, as long as it gets him/her from A to B safely and on time? your right. it does not make a difference weather your in a Cutaway, an Orion V, or a D4500. if it's used for transit, your not going to be on time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus_Medic Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 those blue birds are certainly unusual! I'd imagine they're not the most comfortable bus to ride, but hey, as long as it gets you from a to b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bus_Medic Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Yup, comfort was not that great (probably was an extra expense option), after all it's just a school bus, and not engineered like a newlook/old look or any other real transit/intercity bus. I consider real to include air bags and proper suspension btw its all nuts and bolts in the end,my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC60102N Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 No its a real bus. After all it carries passengers! So does that mean the 12 Passenger vans that Cherrey Coach runs are "real buses" ? Or the 7 Passenger vans that Hendry Coach has ? Both carry passengers in service. Just because it carrys passengers does not make it a bus... under your theory a Taxi Cab can be classified as a bus. There is Coachs, Buses,Cutaways and unfortionatly vans !! all are different from eachother! You(D40LF) of all people should know this ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was that Cutaways are buses after all they (that means Cutaways) carry passengers. I don't think that Kingston Transit considers its Ford E-450's as anything but buses and I know that Kingston Access Buses are considered buses, its even in the title!

DavidW Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Squeaky wheels needed to grease need for public transit Published on October 14, 2011 TRURO - Colchester County officials would like more input from residents interested in a public transit system. ... A recent feasibility study indicated that public transit in the Truro area would require public subsidization of about $738,000 in the first year of a five-year plan. Colchester County's share as proposed in the study would be $396,190 while Truro's cost would be $341,874.

DavidW Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Planning to start transit service in the Truro area is stopped: http://www.trurodail...ublic-transit/1 Mayors put the brakes on public transit Published on December 26, 2011 Topics : Truro Daily News , Colchester County TRURO - The mayors of the Truro and Colchester County say a new form of public transit will not be coming to the area in the near future. Truro Mayor Bill Mills and Colchester County Mayor Bob Taylor told the Truro Daily News that the ongoing discussions considering the implementation of a transit system have resulted in a decision to postpone the project. "It's best to hold off for a while," said Mills. "We need revenue generators, not revenue eaters." Taylor said the idea was a good one but there are more pressing matters locally to attend to. "It's a great project but without a lot of support we're not going forwards. We have a number of big-ticket items on the go." Taylor said implementing such a system would most likely require a raise to the tax base and some people would not appreciate that. "I like being pro-active (but) people have to realize this is going to cost," he said. The mayors said the topic could come up again in the future. The transit issue came before council last December when resident Mark Martin voiced his desire to run a government subsidized transit system. In the spring, the town and county commissioned a transit feasibility study, which cost $50,000 with the province paying $37,500. The remaining 25 per cent was split between the town and the county. A questionnaire resulted in 122 responses. Sixty per cent said they would be "very likely" to use the system and 27 per cent would "likely" use it while five per cent would "never" make use of it. mchiasson@trurodaily.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
