Express691 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 TransLink has put a trademark on the word "SkyBus", someone found this document on the government website. Grain of salt as to what this could really mean though https://www.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/trdmrks/srch/viewTrademark?id=1905565&lang=eng&tab=reg&posNum=4&search=%7B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an express service to YVR? (Which would be odd as the Canada Line does a great job of that) Or maybe even Abbotsford? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is a possible name for the burnaby mountain (SFU) gondola, which has been brought up a lot recently. Certainly nothing confirmed of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally dead? Unless they are parking it there until they have it's new fate? 95-2020. That's 25 years of it not in dead tracks. Either as compass bus, community outreach bus. Maybe translink should keep one of each type of bus from now on in their own museum to remember all the good ol' units from the good ol' days like trams?

I think all of these have already been sold, so that would answer your question. They were all in the auction lot by the Canada Line OMC in 2017 and they all disappeared by the next year. Most of them were purchased for resale by Repo.com, Landsea Tours bought a whole bunch (but then they have buses with the infamous ASTronic transmission, I think), some went out of province, and at least two went stateside. One unit that was sold (or resold) to a local operator ended up catching on fire: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I saw something like this was on an ex-Shaw company car. Last time TransLink did this was when they scrapped the HCNG C40LFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briguychau Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 At most outbound stations, the Expo Line announcement changed from "This is an Expo Line train to King George/Production Way University" to "Train to King George/Production Way University" on three separate trains I was on today. Didn't pay attention at Waterfront, however at Commercial Broadway it did not change and still said "this is an Expo Line train to ..." Maybe they're going to announce the line only at interchange stations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORDOOM Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 So Expo Line trains are now announcing the terminus inbound at all station stops... except that they’re doing it just as the doors are closing and the train is pulling out? Did someone mess up the programming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
