vivablue5215 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Most of the incorrect signs I've noticed were the 600 series out of Miller. I don't think I've seen a proper updated route 1 sign so far. There are. Just that they're the Twinvisions. Link to post Share on other sites

Articulated Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Brand new oneRide machines are finally being installed along the new Rapidway stations, and they've done a fairly major design overhaul. On another note, the stop numbers were changed with the June 30th service changes so the 97xx numbers will stay with Viva on the rapidway, but produces a small side effect. The next bus screens between Valleymede and East Beaver Creek only display Viva arrivals, as route 1, 90B and 300 use the new 6xxx number assigned to the curb stop. Link to post Share on other sites
Ber Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 looks like they went back to the reliable buttons for the machine.... no more freezing your hands in the winter while you try to fumble on a laggy touchscreen! Link to post Share on other sites
YRT-Guy Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Some of the YRT branded van hools were being used for the special olympic charters today. Spotted the following on Don Mills Road -> 501, 503, 504, 505, 508, 514... seemed to all be travelling to/from Seneca Newnham. Some of the signs saying "Richvale CC"., "Special Olympics"., "Charter"., and "Not In Service" with a window sign such as Seneca and Ray Twinney. Link to post Share on other sites

Got a crappy picture of one of the YRT VanHools (509). You can see them from far away, looks like a D40LF with a huge white hump. Link to post Share on other sites
vivablue5215 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 509, 513, 519, 1034, 1081, 1185, 5207, and 5216 were the shuttles today originating from Newnham. Will upload 509 and 519 photos tonight. EDIT: PS: 509 is ex-5139. Link to post Share on other sites
Enzo Aquarius Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Coincidentally, caught them going both ways in the opposite direction (northbound at 7 PM, southbound at 10:30) on the 404. Shame I was busy, I would've chased after them. Any division decals on them yet? Link to post Share on other sites

* Mr. Black * Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 PS: 509 is ex-5139. Confirming that 502 was 5109.... Also 5139 is now 509... Just sayin.....

Articulated Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Saw 511 at the back of the BRT Garage before, by licence plate it was 5143. My last spotting of it was June 5, so about 5 weeks for a refurbishment. Link to post Share on other sites

vivablue5215 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 520 is ex-5160 (though seeing 519 is ex-5159, that should've been obvious). Link to post Share on other sites

6254 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 To summarize the remaining ones that are not renumbered yet. 506 (from 5119: 100% chance of conversion) 510, 512, 513 (from 5141, 5144, 5145, 5149: 75% chance of conversion) 515, 516, 517, 518 (from 5151, 5154, 5156, 5157, 5158: 80% chance of conversion) 520 (from 5160: 100% chance of conversion) Link to post Share on other sites

My personal theory is that Viva will be keeping 5145 and 5146 because they both sport aftermarket "Nova" style front bumpers (as do 5127 and 5142) But we will find out soon enough, because 5145 has gone for its rebuild....

6254 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 5146 has been reported as refurbished. If that was correct, the list looks more like 506 (from 5119: 100% chance of conversion) 510 (from 5141: 100% chance of conversion) 512, 513 (from 5144, 5145, 5149: 67% chance of conversion) 515, 516, 517, 518 (from 5151, 5154, 5156, 5157, 5158: 80% chance of conversion) 520 (from 5160: 100% chance of conversion) Updated the list of refurbishments on the Wiki... we're down to 29 non-refurbished buses, so 10 Viva refurbs and 19 YRT conversions to go. 5146 has been rebuilt, and its front fleet numbers have been replaced (again) in the proper position with the newer slimmer font.
