Seashore_518203 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Has Niagara Falls Transit set a date yet for the opening of the new garage? When the TTS was by there in mid-December, it looked pretty close to being completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97SCT Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I should mention that 2988 now has a CHCH ad wrap on the rear. Orion VII's 2576 and 2781 now have the waterfall livery. The old Niagara Transit stripes are now no more on the VII's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva5113 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Sorry to ask but how can i go to niagara falls by conventional transit from GO/VIA station when wego purple line is not operating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
map.man (Darrin) Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 KD, From what I can see, route 104 operates from the bus terminal (across the street) to within a couple blocks (down Clifton Hill) to the Falls. The Green line also serves the River Road area (a couple short blocks), and meets the other operating WeGo buses at Table Rock. Unfortunately, you'll have to walk a short distance either way, hope it's not with luggage! --- Darrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niatrans10 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 NF recently took delivery of its first low-floor Chair-A-Van, a 2015 GMC 4500/ Glaval Titan II LF. It was out in service for a while last week in the ghost livery, will post the number when I find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niatrans10 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 3 more Novas are now on order for 4Q 2016 delivery, they will be replacing 3 of the 4 remaining Orion V units; also starting on page 7 of the council agenda for Feb. 9th it lists the proposed service improvements for NFT, starting with a one-year pilot project to have the Green Line directly service the bus terminal both NB and SB, and to integrate the Purple Line with route 104 and use the artics on that. The Red Line is proposed to be beefed up to 15-minute frequencies from 9am-12pm and 4-7pm during the peak summer period and the fall/winter/spring will now have 30-minute service on Sundays and Holidays and will run 30 minute service until 11:00pm. Also pending is the introduction of 30-minute service on routes 203 and 206 Monday-Saturday evenings and Sunday/Holiday service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newflyerinvero Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I see this as a bit of confusion. How can a WEGO route essentially be intergrated or interlined with a regular NFT bus route? Somehow there would need to be some fare intergration too.

niatrans10 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 After watching the council meeting I highly doubt this particular refinement will go through. The ATU President addressed council as to this and they are deadset against this( as they should be) due to concerns such as clearance for the artics on certain streets and the 15-minute run times to and from Main&Ferry and the Bus Terminal.

Nautilus Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Niagara Falls Transit has 4 new Nova busses out back, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604. The fare boxes have been removed from 62, 63, 66 and are installed in 1601-1603. 67 is still in operation as of today on a college route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niatrans10 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 the email I got from NFT's operations manager said they were for conventional...most likely for the Niagara College Welland route, they had a WEGO artic doing clearance testing on that route back in September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SCT Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 1603 entered service today as the Fort Erie Link. 1601 also entered service doing the 21 and then the 20 Glendale Campus Express. This order is the exact same as the 2013's, except for the Luminator white LED signs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Either then the Square) at the Old Target/Walmart Is it that bad to be "haunted" by a brand new bus? lol Nice pictures, I've always been fond of the Waterfall livery.

newflyerinvero Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Not as much discussion for this thread, but I feel that it should restarted with this topic. Considering what the TTC is now facing with the eventual retirements of their Orion VII S50EGR buses to where they first thought they would last 18 years but are retiring early due to EPA regulations. Considering that NFT has about 10, is it of these simlar buses, would this accelerate the plans of replacing them in the next few years? Or, if their capital budget doesn't have the amount of $$'s to replace them in time, would even an engine retrofit, which would still costs a fair bit of money be another option?
