I think the maintenance overtime ban would explain it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owo transit fan Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 RapidBus posts are now popping up along 41st Avenue. I don't have a picture of one, however, everything is covered up with stickers saying "RapidBus coming 2020." Some are at a slightly different location than their current stop, such as WB 41st at Fraser, where it is a little bit ahead of the current stop.

briguychau Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Noticed they covered up the lighted map on 311/312 with a printed version, perhaps the RapidBus version is underneath already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that on a whole bunch of 300s now, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's covering the RapidBus version. Seems unlikely all the signs on multiple trains would break all at once lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingPig Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 SorryBusFull is showing two conventionals (7495, 18175) on the 337 today, but TComm is showing all shuttles (17515, 17522, 17530). Which do we trust? Has anyone seen a 40' on the 337 physically yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
