Translink69 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I don't really know where to post this, and I know it isn't really noteworthy, but P3347 pulled into Lougheed Station today as '14 Hastings'. Also, P9216 Has a White front door panel P8099 Has a Grey rear panel on the door side, along with gray spray paint around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant speculation as to what these cars actually are/their purpose etc etc. Now that they changed to the new ARIBA system, I guess now I gotta send in a freedom of request for more details... -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for fun (usually to take a picture) I change it back right after I'm done, but some crazy people like to trick passengers into really believing it's a 177 Planet Ice or 98 Burrard Stn driving down the road. I don't understand why they would do that, and why the driver allowed them, but people do that. 7 minutes ago, Millennium2002 said: All drivers of TransLink: please randomnize your signs during your breaks Remember crazy Richmond driver? 239 Grouse at Bridgeport hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just wondering because a few foamers like you did shit like that a few months back and got canned by a transit police officer if I’m correct.

Yeah, I know a guy, who knows this guy, who knows this guy, who knows this driver, who let me and this guy touch the destination sign during her layover at Crown. EDIT: Otherwise I wouldn't do it, why would I touch the driver controls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meraki Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 imo "%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%/#####################/@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@/&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&" is the best one. Some driver would always do it on layover back when I lived near Joyce station. The bus is screaming out to whoever is listening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
