There also a lot of questions asking which bus route will stop at a certain street among passenger. Bus stops didn't change nor removed! Management screwed up big time Kind of expected it from Durham Region Transit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

110B West Pickering Report post Posted October 16 An internal memo on October 7th went out to staff that Artics can be used on the 901 if extra capacity is required but will only be used on a run as directed basis using a spare board report operator from Raleigh Also, New PRESTO Device installs began at Raleigh last week and are already on most of the Novas. Installs begin at Westney on October 27th 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not just those errors but those that have "J18708 Down" (or something like that). Recently, one of the LFSAs "next stop" displays having the c-h-i-l-l-s (Translation: one of the displays that scrolls the next stop having that "freezing effect" or "stuttering"). Sadly, I couldn't remember which fleet number of the LFSAs experience that issue.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RAD is an acronym for Run As Directed. I think they're standby buses that are deployed to fill gaps in service as needed instead of short turns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not presently, and when they did, there was not internal route number for it, 889 and 890 are operated at DRT’s expense, the Whitby shuttle isn’t financially covered by DRT, rather PWT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FutureHeartsJunkie Report post Posted November 15 While I came home from the Oshawa Centre earlier today, I stumbled upon to find a little sign at the bottom of one of the "inactive" DRT bus stops. Do you know if this could be the precursor of relaunching the service in the future or will be part of the On-Demand service areas? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That depends if they reinstate service on those routes...alot of the routes have been suspended due to the pandemic such as the 417, 910, a couple of the Pickering routes.

110B West Pickering Report post Posted Saturday at 08:08 PM Sorry I never provided my most recent update. Some services will be coming back! Im not sure what routes they are, where exactly they will go and when they will arrive. Stops with the “Future Transit Stop” signs will be stops on routes with returning service. Monday, January 4th is the expected date of service launch on a modified route 902B King, Operating EB to Courtice Road, When returning WB a the route will now service George Reynolds Drive to replace service previously provided on the 412. Stops on WB George Reynolds do indeed have the signs for future transit service. other areas where these signs have been seen, Bloor Street between Oshawa GO and Park Road, presumably for the 411, Adelaide and Fleetwood area for the new route 423 from the Phase C Ridership recovery map.
