D40LF Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 i made a mistake above its 0962-0965and they should be getting out fitted with fareboxes and smart cards. but i hav enot seen them around. they were spose to be ariving on the boat last thursday and i have not heard anything since! They maybe a little late then, I heard the PAB dock failed while the Caribou was in dock last week, there were 30 cars trapped on the top deck. They had to sail back to N.Sydney, move the cars to the lower deck and return to PAB. As a result of using only one deck there was a hugh back up at both sides.

This is when St. John's Transportion Commission Changed It Main Name To Metrobusand with the new name they wanted a new look and now its back Enjoy, its 8201. It will be on the road From May 3, 2008- November 2008 at its retirerment. Enjoy These Pictures and hope you see it i person!! (Below Copyed From Metrobus.com) Metrobus Transit going a little more green To mark its fiftieth anniversary, Metrobus Transit is going a little retro, and a little more green. The transit agency has painted one of its older buses with the familiar lime-green striping from the mid seventies that is sure to turn a few heads in the weeks to come. “We wanted to make an impression and get people thinking about the history of transit service within the city,” said General Manager, Judy Powell. “One look at this bus and you’re transported back thirty years.” The bus was painted with environmentally-friendly DelFleet® Evolution paint donated by PPG Canada Inc. Delfleet® Evolution is PPG's premium paint system for meeting the demanding needs and exacting specifications of OEM commercial vehicle manufacturers and fleet maintenance operations. The product used on the retro Metrobus meets the federal government’s VOC (volatile organic compounds) requirements for refinish systems. The commemorative bus started in service on May 3rd.

citytransitpics.piczo.com Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Why Not Use The "BUDDY" System? Service starts Water Street @ Convention Center @ 8:00am Travels Waldagrave St., New Gower. Duckworth, Plymouth,Quidi Vidi Road, Back down Duckworth, Cochrane, Water, Arriives @ Convention Center @ 8:20am Runs Every 20 Minutes Until Arrives @ Convention Center @ 5:40pm and returns To Garage. (Service Monday-Friday Only) Copyed from VOCM: Free Ride on Metrobus June 26, 2009 Starting Monday, Metrobus will offer free rides in the downtown core on a new bus route designed to service Water and Duckworth Streets. The new service, named 'Buddy', will travel east on Duckworth Street past the Sheraton, turn around on Quidi Vidi Road then head west for the Convention Centre via Plymouth Road, Duckworth, Cochrane and Water Street. Buddy was designed to facilitate movement in the downtown area and targets employees and visitors to St. John's. The service will remain in effect until September 6. During this time Metrobus will evaluate the route to determine its future plans for 'Buddy'. Thanks Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Wright Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 It's so weird being from Central Canada, seeing a 2009 bus without any sort of ramp at all. Just curious as to if you could get a interior shot of one of those LFSs? Please and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
