translink fan Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Yeah wherever there is space. The zone by party bazarr is back to metered parking. I've also seen them pull a bit ahead just before the crosswalk leading inside if Pacific Central. Just depends if cars are in the way or not. Link to post Share on other sites

They have plans to add a second schedule operating overnight between Calgary and Vancouver and Vancouver to Calgary come Spring. Which by then they should have enough ridership to sustain the two schedules. I wonder if they will try and get a bay in PCS or at least a more permanent parking spot even out front!

translink fan Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 PWT Toronto Prevost H3-45 units 5192 and 5193 are down in Vancouver helping do extra trips for Ebus. Units from Alberta and Toronto are in BC to help. Majority in Kelowna and some are going to be in Vancouver. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the buses have gone to Alberta. I am surprised they poached the ex-Safeway Tours Units, thought they would go for the older units. Link to post Share on other sites
roeco Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 RED ARROW and EBUS in Alberta will Suspend All Motor Coach operations as of Mar.29 until further Notice!! I knew they were operating a reduced schedule but I guess no one has the kinda money u need to ride them now as Red Arrow is a premium brand! But I never thought they would suspend operations Entirely!! This is Def Huge!! They say they will still operate the Ebus BC division. Im expecting maybe u will see them reduce frequency or cut back to 1 trip a day out of Kamloops,Kelowna and Vancouver. Link to post Share on other sites
canuck600 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 It reads more like a temporary suspension of service in Alberta to me then something permanent. Link to post Share on other sites

Where in this post did it sound like people had no money to ride due to it being premium brand? Link to post Share on other sites
roeco Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 it is temporary but until whenever this virus thing gets finished. Alot of people out of work right now..chances are anyone travelling will want to go as cheap as they can...cash is tight for many. And with them being only able to sell half their seats that didnt help much either. It doesnt look like it was planned much ahead as they released a new updated schedule then 4 days later said they were temp cancelling. Im surprised they cancelled ebus too.

roeco Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 It seems effective Nov 1 until further notice (they say for the winter) Red Arrow and ebus are suspending all stops at their Edmonton South and Calgary North locations! So they will Only stop at their downtown stops in both Edmonton and Calgary. Plus they now stop at Kingsway Transit Centre in Edmonton also. They changed their mind and will still stop now but Only a Stop no waiting area. Link to post Share on other sites
translink fan Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 2 PWT Red H3-45's got transferred out west from Ontario. One of them is 5721. Other I'm unsure of but are at Prevost here in Vancouver. Will try and photograph them when they come through. With the 2 transfers, the 2 X3-45's #1591 and 1592 were sent back to Alberta.

PW in Mississauga has forecast that the industry won't pick up until 2023. After the NHL Bubble they haven't gotten any work. Most of their senior drivers have taken PW's retirement package. Should Safeway Tours get the ok to resume service to Fallsview Casino, I heard PW didn't make the list since Safeway spent money on Great Canadian Coaches and Attridge to outfit the Safeway units with barriers.

That's unfortunate. Seems though that PWT is still doing well out west between BC and Alberta with all the industrial work they have. Plus the transit contracts. But Ebus in BC passenger counts aren't so hot. Regardless, I'm still thankful for work still. Link to post Share on other sites

Ebus and Red Arrow are set to reduce service late Decin Ab , so i wouldnt be surprised if ebus in BC did the same. Link to post Share on other sites

canuck600 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 With all the industrial contracts they have in Alberta + transit contracts they have I doubt they are about to go under unless ownership has done something stupid. More likely they have found another property in the area or they are scaling back operations in Ontario. Link to post Share on other sites

Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment is most of their work. With the Leaf's playing again that should help them out with a bit of work, But no Raptors work again this year. Safeway was good work for them but looks like they will not be doing that for a long while due to covid. Link to post Share on other sites
