Thanks! It announces all the stops on the route unlike Calgary's system even though it's the same iBus... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramptonTransitFan84 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 i guess BT likes to release the conventionals near the end of summer (seeing as that how its been for 2 years now)... all of these were out on Saturday, last weekend. 1701 (115 Airport Express): 1704 (19 Fernforest): 1707 (1 Queen): 1708 (1 Queen): 1713 (5 Bovaird): 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doppelkupplung Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Does anyone know why BT operates only 40 footers to UTM on the 199? Its a super busy route, so why not send down a few ZUM 60 footers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While personally I disagree with the P3 procurement process for many of the same reasons the petition states, it in no way opens the door to privatizing the entire public transit system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin ORION Posted November 22, 2017 Root Admin Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Went by Clark Garage on Saturday, noticed D40LF 0435 with quite the fire damage. Anyone here with a good inside source of info know what happened? Is it a write off? It appears the Orion Vs are all gone from the back also.

If I recall correctly it happened on the 52 at Charolais/Mill about six months ago. I'm not sure what they plan on doing with it but it is still plated unlike 0205 and 0315 next to it that are unplated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newflyerinvero Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Other than the repaints that have occurred with the majority of the D40LFs (and even the earlier 96 D40LFs and the 98 VIs), were any of the 02/03/04's fully rebuilt and repainted, or just refurbished? I ask as is Brampton an agency that rebuilds its buses or waits until roughly 12-14 years to retire them? If that's the case, is or has there been consideration of rebuilding or refurbing any of the oldest ZUM XDE40s, built in 2010 at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the best of my knowledge, the D40LFs have just been refurbished (there are still a few 02s and 03s waiting to be completed). In the last 10 years, Brampton Transit has grown exponentially so it's hard to say how long they will wait to retire buses now because the mileage on buses nowadays is far greater than that of buses from the 90s and earlier.

newflyerinvero Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Been wondering if the middle portion of the 60 - Mississauga Road is too close to the area that's covered by the 58 - Financial to where it may be more viable (?) to have a 60A branch serve where the 58 does? Lastly, is it just me, or do many of you here feel like the 51 Hereford doesn't seem to be a route that really is meaingful given that the 11 and 511 are around? Is it better to look at an 11B service perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramptonTransitFan84 Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Just a heads up that 0315, 0205 and 0435 are sitting at the back of Clark with their plates gone. So its most likely that their retired. Didnt manage to get the offical word from any operators yet though 0435 sustained fired damage and was the decision was made to just retire it without repair 0315 is completely unknown, however i'm willing to speculate that for 0205 it may signify that BT is starting the retirement process at just 15 years early? (hopefully not) that or because their non-rebuilds (hence still being in the old livery) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newflyerinvero Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Didn't Brampton Transit at one point have interest in tendering for smaller buses? I haven't been too successful in finding more information on that. Any updates if possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
