323 Surrey Ctrl Stn Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I'm living in Chilliwack for one week, starting today. Anything that I should watch out for? Rednnecks, watch out for rednecks. They're a dangerous breed. I don't think there's much going on bus wise out there, just the 06 Novas and the 2 Yaxings.

Dane Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Cool thanks. Haven't seen a Yaxing yet, not sure I have time for a ride so I will touch with my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancouver Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Here's 3005 on the at the terminus stop in Harrison Hot Springs on the 1st. Both 3005 and 3006 were assigned to the route on that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Broughton Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 When I see a picture of a Yaxing, I expect Scooby Doo, and those pesky medding kids to bail out of it and solve a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZ350 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I don't know why they're using these instead of suburbans, but it's funny that with U seating at the back they actually have fewer seats than the city buses LOL. I will try to find out about the transmissions tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Bus Fan Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 BC Transit does have a really stupid policy about using Suburban buses on routes that seem to make sense for Suburban type of buses such as FVX and route 90 in Vernon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Bus Fan Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I wonder if the six new units will service local routes? Since Chilliwack already uses 40 ft buses on most of the routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZ350 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 They are earmarked for FVX only, but that will probably change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Bus Fan Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Stupid questions: Will the 2008 operate on 66 'Fraser Valley Express'? Will the 2015 operate on local routes in Chilliwack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
