SMS Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'm trying to deliver as many MTL ppl as possible - including people from off the board - to come to this event. The possibility of this OC charter failure, contrary to what someone posted above, will in no way affect the CITSO charter in Montreal the next day. That is totally false and erroneous and the poster has no say on the matter because he did not contribute to any of my planning. My charter will happen regardless of whether there is an OC Transpo charter or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay there....all I said was the the CO-ORDINATION would be messed up, since you said yourself that you purposely put it on the day you did so that it would be easier for Toronto people coming to both. No need to freak out geez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the OC Transpo charter is kind of special towards me, because when I had the opportunity to ride all the GM Classics I could on my local and express route, I refused it, and now, seeing as they are almost eliminated, one by one, I really want this charter to happen no matter what. Also, this will be my ever first charter I will attend to, and would like to congratulate Mike and Double T for taking their time planning this event. Point55.

general682002 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Advance payment, slightly silly IMO for OC to do.I don't mind paying in advance. That's charter business for ya. If you do this by last minute, the charter will not happen! They called me today and if I get a volunteer operator (either I choose one or they just put it out to see if anyone wants to do it), the total cost will be $400, now that I can do. Interesting, rather than to have a driver get paid while driving. How about a paper bag? Then he can pretend he is a Leafs fan Good luck and have fun on your trip, might be a good idea for us Etown folks to see what we can do out here, it's been a while Good lord Mike, another anti-Leafs fan continue to curse this season!? Well, you guys had the last charter was the BBC Trolley, which now they don't run it anymore! Only thing to remember, this driver doesn't like to get his picture taken, or recorded in. Just as long your focus is on the bus, then all is good.Point55. Well, then your going have to remind us again and again not to take photo of his face, let him step out of the bus very quickly first. Bus enthusiast can't stop taking photos at anytime when it comes to charters. I'm trying to deliver as many MTL ppl as possible - including people from off the board - to come to this event.

My charter will happen regardless of whether there is an OC Transpo charter or not. Even if this was cancel, then I'll just surf around the system before heading to YUL charter. As long our volunteer driver will be a present without going on ill.

Point55. If only we have a time machine to charter a New Look. Not only that, they will be the youngest group they've organized a charter. Once experience, it will continue to have another event in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian National Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Alright, I have sent the driver an e-mail, and hopefully will get a response by September 2nd, 2008. I will post back once I get an update. I have also mentioned that he has to volunteer to drive for us, to be able to make the operating cost of the charter to be approx. $400CAD. Point55.

tristan Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Some guys in MTL would pay good money to ride a GM Classic again. I would pay good money to drive it !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 maybe all of us should give the volunteer some tips or something. BTW, I cannot come as I got a full time job (tuesday to saturday) and my boss said I cannot take a day off until I work one year for the company.

Canadian National Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Bad news.. The driver replied, after having troubles with a GM today, he decided not to volunteer to drive for THIS charter. I guess we're doomed. Unless Mike or Double T have something up their sleeves. I once had a piece of leaf up my sleeve. Unpleasant. Point55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have to be an employer of OC driver to become volunteer? Well, then I guess the only way to have a driver is to cough up a reg. driver if anyone still interested on the charter. But other than that, it will be dead end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtltransitguy Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Don't give it up, even if you have to push the date back in order to round-up some money, a lot of people will still want to go, and won't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian National Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Mike, when can I pay my $25 for the charter? I'm trying my best to keep it, as I tend to accidentally spend money I'm keeping for. Oh, and 8769 rear rollsign before was missing the double digits, and now it has it back. I guess OC Transpo is preparing the bus for the event. Also, the rollsign works, so we can change the sign around and hopefully won't get stuck. Point55.

M.Wright Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Well keep your money till the day of the charter, I had a long discussion with my parents and as I'm going to pay them back right away, they will be paying for this, but usually if I don't pay them back they wouldn't even give me $50 lol, but yeah any profit from this will be put towards future charters though I would like to not talk about those just yet as first I want this one to happen. As for the volunteer driver, next time I contact the guy at OC, I will talk a bit about the driver and photos. I still have to talk to him about the photos anyway as we've been talking about the money fact the most. Also general, yes it has to be a OC Driver. Also if anyone knows a driver who doesn't mind driving a 87XX and their photo being taken hundreds of times (though their usually not that visible if they stay in their seat anyway), get them to contact me. They have to be a OC Driver, no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

306 Carlton Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Oh, and 8769 rear rollsign before was missing the double digits, and now it has it back. Every time I saw it it seemed to be all there. Maybe you just saw it when it was on blank or something.

Anyways, let's stick to the subject. What the hell are you even talking about? You were with me when we spotted 8769 on Mack Bridge with all the roll signs working. We even saw it rolling. It was in early July when I saw 8769 without roll signs in the rear, and it DID NOT display blank. The light bulb inside was visible, so I know what I'm explaining here. Point55. Really? Okay, it must have just malfunctioned recently because it was working when I rode it. No, it didn't.

SMS Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Mike, can you please confirm by Friday whether this charter is a go or not? I need to notify people over here whether they should be heading your way. Thanks and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
