dover5949 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 032's were all cancelled today in the PM rush. I noticed that a lot of rear door equipped buses are operating on the Hwy 99 Suburban Routes all day today & this evening. I'm speculating this could be the new temporary change to keep operators safe & social distancing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully get the rest brand new double deckers ready to service for those routes would be the best idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dover5949 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 RTC has assigned Suburban Nova's to all runs on 351's & 601's for the 2nd day in a row. I'm speculating this is to provide drivers from exposures from passengers with the protective barrier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatBusGuy Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Now that the R2 is up and running, are there any 180XX or 190XX still wrapped? Based on T-Comm it seems a few are still doing non-Rapidbus routes but I'm not sure if that's just due to a general shortage, since some seem to be doing a mix of both types of service.

There's a bit more unwraps such as 18047 and 18061. There's also been mention of 19031 also unwrapped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomasw Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Somewhat related but Admins should not allow this kind of advertising on our board. Em NIMBY a**holes This ad also shows they don’t even know what they are taking about and only care about a little parking. They wrote B-Line instead of Rapidbus. Rapidbus has been advertised quite a bit over the last year and a half. How could they mess this up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like it just tap that X on the top right corner as this post is quite unrelated to this thread. Also I'm no expert with how ads are chosen and seen on the internet but don't they reflect upon what you search online ? Because you're searching up stuff like that is the reason why you received that kind of ad. Any who with whats going on in the world right now a simple ad like that should be the last thing you should be concerned about bud. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8010 Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 I've seen that ad so many times around the web it's not even worth worrying about, it was probably made before the RapidBus announcement last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zortan Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 It is still a horrible ad to see. I believe they started putting it up as part of their campaign to stop the R2 going past Park Royal. Honestly I've gotta say it's ridiculous that someone would be so short-sighted to think that a few spaces of parking is more important than high-quality, high-frequency mobility for thousands of people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8010 Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Walked past Brighouse Exchange this morning, it looks completely finished. It's still fenced off but I wouldn't be surprised if it opens up within the next couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCW Metrobus Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 According to the wiki, one time many moons ago, the 49 going towards Metrotown routed from Imperial up McKay and Maywood to Willingdon... Well, somebody tried that today. The bus was headed NIS to Metrotown, and it passed me at 49th and Kerr. He must have missed the left onto Willingdon Extension, because I saw the back end of the bus just past Ocean View as I was passing Central Park. The next thing I saw was the bus making the left onto McKay. It might have worked... except for the fact that McKay and Maywood is closed due to road construction. When I came back around, I saw the bus stranded on McKay with a supervisor van behind it, lights flashing, probably trying to help the operator back up.

When I first started driving here I was doing a 130 to Phibbs Ex and as I crossed to the north side of the Second Narrows bridge I took the Dollarton hwy EB exit rather the Main st WB exit. Tcomm told me to wait for the supervisor to help me get out, but a passenger gave me directions and I told Tcomm and they said to go for it because he was right! I should also mention too that I had a few screw ups at ETS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dover5949 Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 18338 doing a 100 today. Instead of "Rear Door Boarding" on the sign it was displaying "DDR Vehicle". Not sure what that means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
