FWIW, I'd say that's an excellent photo! Rich color, multiple layers of depth -- each one in effective focus -- and it includes other "city stuff" that's often of interest to transit fans. Plus it shows the bus at a cool and unusual angle. I'd take a "true-to-life" photo any day over an artificially pristine shot. Would be happy to see more photos like this of buses in their natural habitat! If nothing else, it just inflames my disappointment that Calgary Transit discontinued the rear window after the first Novas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the rear windows, but unfortunately a lot of the time in the winter time, they're covered in dirt, snow and other crap making them super hard to see through. It's a shame, as they could be quite useful if they actually kept them clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Nature abhors a vacuum, air and crud are swept up into the void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why you see the school busses with spoilers/wind deflectors, they direct air flow down the back to help keep the rear windows clear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechSpotlight Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Yesterday was the last day of service for Route 164 Aspen Summit. I ended up photographing 1257 on it yesterday afternoon, which was the last bus to serve the route. Ridership from what I've been seeing over these past two years has been poor on this route (except for select trips used by students of Ernest Manning High School). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres still school route fixed service for the area schools, right? Or all on-demand only, as of now? CT mentioned no more conventional fixed routes, but they never mentioned school routes contracted by CBE or anything. Just out of curiosity.
