Before the reprogram this year Garage was 19 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In introducing this route, I now have doubts that the recommended routes in the TMP will ever be implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Interesting news. I note that the website does not show a new transit map featuring the 71 Express sadly. The website however did provide the following link: https://www.cornwall.ca/en/live-here/resources/Transit/71-EXPRESS.pdf As much as I like Cornwall Transit, I cannot believe that they would market it as a frequent route seeing as how it does one direction per hour. It is not exactly operator friendly either... the driver must turn and burn at Pitt and Second every trip unless he or she can gain a little time mid route. Comparatively, the free Canada Day shuttle runs 3 times an hour! Source: https://www.cornwall.ca/en/live-here/resources/Transit/canada-day-schedule-2019.pdf I hope that this new express is a success. It seems to have linked most of the city's important trip generators. I just hope that it is a true limited stop route. I would also like to ask whether the creation of this route involved hiring more operators or having an extra bus available from the spare ratio.

SDGBusFan Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 The 71 Express Route, I have seen lots of new signs for it, but I have a few questions, hopefully a few of you could answer? Is this 71 Express Route a new implement route, or just a trial, and if so, where can I find a timetable! Thanks and all the best! -SDGBusFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Your best bet is to ask Cornwall Transit directly. If you really live in SDG, you can call them at 613 930 2636. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDGBusFan Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hi SMS! Thanks for the help, and I do actually live in SDG, Glengarry actually, and I'm in Cornwall a lot per week! I'll ask them, thanks! -SDGBUSFAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdgta2008 Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I've noticed that 1895's transmission shifts differently than the other LFS's. "The old Allison B400R" if you may... compared to the others that shift with lower revs and faster shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdgta2008 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I've noticed that the city has moved around some shelters. The old shelter at York and Water Sts has moved to St. Lawrence College. Another old shelter was installed on McConnell Ave. across from Freshco, though I'm wondering where that particular shelter came from.....?

I just realized that 2 shelters in Glenview Heights needed to be removed stemming from the route changes back in September. And the shelter in Sunrise Acres was also removed.

sdgta2008 Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 PM service for 71 EXPRESS is increasing to every 30 minutes from 1pm to 5pm as of this Tuesday. Could this mean Arbocs coming back to the Riverdale route on a more permanent basis...? . I've not yet seen an LFS or an Orion VI for that matter on 71 EXPRESS.

Arbocs have run 71 EXPRESS on occasion but an Eldorado is usually assigned to that run. That being said, if they're adding another bus to 71 EXPRESS in the afternoon, that means the Riverdale route could have an Arboc assigned to it regularly instead of an Eldorado...

Add that with a Pitt/McConnell route running every hour, only 2 buses will be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDGBusFan Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Speaking of the Handi-Transit buses, I've heard a rumour that Cornwall Transit is getting about 4 or so new Handi-Transit buses, is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDGBusFan Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Noticed a new Transit route/run last night. Cornwall Transit doesn't seem to have stated anything, but the route is named "Cirque du Soleil". Possibly for the new show coming to town, seemed to be running from the Civic Complex to Nav Canada with a few stops in between. Last night, Nova 1792 was running the route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
