I was in vancouver approx 2 months ago and its me or the Skytrain make a lot more noise than it was doing 11 years ago? I was there in 2008 summer then returned in october this year and i feel they didn't do its maintenance properly or something

The tracks are getting old and with all this track that needs attention, track work is falling behind.

Found this tweet.

If you want a photo of the Raindeer bus you can find it on the #25.

 

Thx but using T-Comm works too.

Did something happen to the reindeer bus last week because it didn’t finish its run on the 9th and only reappeared Friday afternoon.

The plan is to have them ready to install on ALL incoming buses, The soon-to-be retired units are more likely to not get them. If there is a barrier already and not the same, it'll be replaced with the same i believe. (reading from other posts on Wiki)

2101-4 and 2501-4 were test units for the shields.  There was some testing for heat levels in the driver compartment due to the lack of A/C.  The decision was made to install shields on all remaining trolley buses, which is now starting.

Reliable source has informed me regarding the status of 2503 which has not seen service since June 11th. 2503 has some electronic issues. Waiting on parts for it & it will require a lot of labour to complete repairs & diagnosis. Currently work on it has been put on hold to get other buses back in service. Work on it again will commence once other buses with more minor issues are repaired in order to prevent service cancellations.

which configurations do you like?

2101 original 

2101 current 

2102-2289 styles 

 

2101 current only because of the higher back seats at the front of the bus and there's no pointless rear-facing seat.
