I also observed something interesting about the key number, the 302 was 928-133 which I've never actually observed a 133 key being used by a Calgary Transit bus. 928-133 is a floater key. Use of regular Key numbers in the 130s were removed in the march 2012 signup when they went to 101, 102, 103 etc for a signup then to the current 141, 142, 143, etc. I used to be signed on 3-133 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cool what he did. I remember during the 2013 flood and afterwards. We were told explicitly that if water enters the floor of the bus, we are not to proceed. If not for care of the equipment, what about the customers? All their feet are wet. The same day, at 52nd and 72 ave s.e., a bunch of 23's both ways parked their buses following coming upon this: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM2mkAYk8/ Similarly, when operating the train, you can no longer see the rail, we are not supposed to proceed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D40LF Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 I can remember driving the 57 during a very heavy rain that flooded 36th just north of Memorial (by the entrance to Marlborough Mall). Control had told the ops that you could drive through water up to the depth of half-way up the windshield. The key ahead of me went through and fried the electronics. but I was directed through the Marlborough Mall parking lot by CPS so my bus was fine. I did however still got water along the floor of the bus and my passengers just lifted their feet, they were more happy to get home than have the bus breakdown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 301 definitely needed that bump though, much needed and a start. I’ve used the south section of Route 3 a couple of times recently on the weekend and the buses are quite busy there too — and it was late enough that there was no potential relief from Routes 17 or 449. I hope there is the possibility of a weekend service bump on Route 3 during a future signup. 48 minutes ago, vicinity said: 201 -midday 10 minutes 202 -midday 13 minutes Train riders will welcome this adjustment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyC62 Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 When did the 300 no longer require the additional fare when departing the airport? I know the Fare Innovations Report mentioned previously in this thread recommended its discontinuation, but didn't know it was actually adopted. Someone mentioned on Reddit today that fact, and I don't recall seeing an announcement anywhere. Sure enough, there's no mention of such a fare on CT's Fares & Passes page, and it's no longer an option for purchase in the MyFare app. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
