CN7059 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Pretty sure they use VHF... But yes, for the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CN7059 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Seen a couple of the T-Drive Novas blowing faint black smoke. Now, if memory serves, those buses were delivered with DPF installed, which should preclude that. Call it pure speculation, but I'd be curious to know if BC Transit would remove these in the interest of fuel economy. Alternatively, what if any maintenance is required by this type of emissions system, and what impact deferred maintenance would have on them.

ThomasW97 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Found what appears to be an ex-BCT Ford.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/om44pomch9/11826557833/in/faves-86146168@N02/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely been converted into Coke cans now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 This past weekend, I noticed that #9837 is at Big Rig Collision in S.E. Calgary. It is already in the newer livery and I am not sure why it is here. I haven't seen a BCT D40LF out here in awhile until now. I believe it is a Kamloops based unit without checking the Wiki page...

Les Broughton Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 There have been other 9800s getting further sidewall remediation at Wilson's as well...9840s i believe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CV92 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Yea, 9800's are going in for corrosion remediation. Currently they are cycling through units that need it in Campbell River, Kamloops and possibly also Abbotsford (can't recall for sure on that last one). The Victoria ones are getting done in-house at the VTC bodyshop, one by one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airwolf Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I passed Nova LFS 9232 eastbound on Highway 1 through Langley this morning. She still had her decals for Kelowna. She was, however; running on a transport permit. Anyone know weather she was heading back to Kelowna or being transfered to another system?

general682002 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Can anyone clarify me on this, are most of the 2002 Dennis Trident came with rear door slide glide when new? I know some of the refurbished have switched back to rear door plug style with interior redone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Broughton Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yes the 2002s were delivered with slide and glide. AFAIK all full refurbs have been switced to plug doors, the exception of course being 9035. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Dunlop Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 You know him? Yeah, I've seen him. He always hangs out at either Douglas/View by Shoppers Drug Mart, UVic Exchange, or the Legislature Exchange. He's not hard to miss with his special necklace.

Matt Dunlop Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 You mean he's hard to miss, or he's not easy to miss. He's hard to miss. As I mentioned, he is either downtown at Douglas/View or the Legislature Exchange, or at UVic. I've heard drivers say that they've saw him at UVic exchange some mornings at 5:30am.

Matt Dunlop Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 8016 was out training. Saw it around 12:30pm on Langford Parkway and around 1:45pm on Treanor Ave I was told a bunch of Polar shuttles were sent to scrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 That would make sense about the shuttles, a bunch had been sitting idle near Vanalman in Saanich for the last 90 days - which is when I started working in that area. Seemed like a lot of surplus at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SidneyTransitfan Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Only saw one Arboc - 2128, and it was out on the 64 from Langford Exchange to East Sooke I think you mean "Polar" xD Went to Vancouver today, and waiting for the bus in Sidney this morning I spotted a new Arboc in service - 2507. Added it to the wiki with the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
