hfx_chris Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Yes I see that, I'm just surprised their provincial regulations would allow that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general682002 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yes I see that, I'm just surprised their provincial regulations would allow that. They seem to be having wheelchair accessible buses as not important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citytransitpics.piczo.com Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 you know what i am the oppisite! lol there is a mini bus door 2 door service that services the st.johns metro area that is run by the city of st.johns sepertly and before the city took over metrobus in 1958 from a private owner. and there has been talks of putting ramps and bike racks on the new orders sometime in the futurre after metrobus settles into its new home next year! Look at the front and rear door on the bottom ledge, no ramp. dd Hows those pics of 0859 might be another series but looks the same! 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...
M.Wright Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks for those shots, that seatting layout seems so efficient without a wheelchair spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citytransitpics.piczo.com Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 No Problem! There is stll not as much seating than there should be and there is nowhere really to stand like the fishbowls & the classics!

general682002 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) I think the GFI Odyssey fareboxe would be just perfect for you guys! Nova can make a little space specially made for this kind of farebox, like they did to the STM! You can fit a farebox no problem when you have a ramp in front, no matter what! But I can see they are now having issues because they currently have BEA Farebox but Brantford doesn't have any problem on their LFS! Sorry, I've check the guy's video and it turns out it does have GFI Cents-a-Bill farebox but it has a BEA farecard reader! iT TIS THEY BOUGHT THE 3RD GEN FOR THE WHEELCHAIR RAMP AND SOMEONE NEVER DID THE RESEARCH! TWE CANT FIT THE CENTSABILL IN WITH THE RAMP SO WE NEED NEW FAREBOXES OR NO MORE NOVAS!!!!! You might check your caps lock next time. There are several system have Novabus and they don't have problem having their GFI farebox installed and many are aware of it, unless they have a layout issues around the drivers area!

hfx_chris Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I must be missing something here.. why exactly are they unable to use the Centsabill farebox with a wheelchair ramp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citytransitpics.piczo.com Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Ya i know we are getting new fareboxes! but they are looking at just new cents a bills! we just need a smaller base too! I think the GFI Odyssey fareboxe would be just perfect for you guys! Nova can make a little space specially made for this kind of farebox, like they did to the STM! The base on our fareboxes are too wide for the ramp it sticks out over the corner of the ramp!

Seashore_518203 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 It is interesting that the Metrobus strike ended with service resuming on January 31st. The strike lasted 12 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
