Use to jump around from 30 to 40 then 20 and to 15 going back to 20 and 30. 60 minute is every holiday. We will see what happens as it looks the go ahead is happening. Looks like it will be done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart Centres terminal will be used again. There are apparent rumours to the Community Bus seeing possible 40 foot but that has not been confirmed yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 The current bus orders are a bit delayed. The 9 Arboc buses should be arriving anytime and the 24 Nova's were suppose to built in Plattsburgh, but was changed back to Quebéc. They will have the same interior as the 2014 series. As for replacements. All the 2003-2006 LFS will be gone. Bus 26 the Goshen GC II is still sitting as spare and was used on Mobility a few times since. 28 is also a spare. 27 and 29 are retired.

I believe the manufacturer uses the old programming software for delivery to make the sign work. The transit system programs it with the current software once it arrives.

The transit system programs it with the current software once it arrives. It has nothing to do with "to make the sign work". Nova or Aesys simply does not have an up to date file from Guelph Transit. The signs should work regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KylTransit Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hello! We recently received a few units coming from Ontario transit agencies in Quebec, and I just had the chance to ride one of them and gather information as well as filming a ride. the LFSs are all blank, which makes it hard to guess where it came from. Luckly, while I was in Transbus 1245 I went to the front and tried to check around on the dashboard to see a reflection of a number and found one, 1245 is actually ex-Guelph 190. Also, 3070 and 3071 ( Transdev Units ) have the shadow of the old red Guelph Livery and might be 2005s im not sure.... anyway, for those interested here is the link to the video ride, but there's not much I could film except some highway action for 3 minutes haha. I'll try to go back soon and get as much info on the other unit ( Transbus 1244 ) some time soon.

G.A Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Excellent! At least some of the Nova's have found a second life. Bus 34 the Ex-Demo Arboc is retired and now operating for a company called Eric's House in Calgary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 194 is still chugging for now. It was apparently towed Sunday evening after a breakdown. 211 has lost its Magic FM/CJOY wrap as well. The fleet has also recieved new updated fareboxes. The new "On Your Way" fare card has been introduced and will be fully launched starting on the 17th. There has so been some adjustments to route 17 and extending route 16 with a few added stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
