Kinguni Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Interesting notes about 701:-It has different type of headlights. If you look, the headlights have a blue-ish tint to them and they seem a bit brighter than usual. -It is equipped with a curb feeler -It has small LED lights in the interior for the rear steps 701 has LED headlights, 701-733 have curb feelers installed, 701 and 702 both have a different right side mirror and arm with non-adjustable head and an arm that can handle wash-rack abuse.

Kinguni Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Today I seen a 4xx and the old 20 terminal. You mean "at'? They put stand-by buses there if they have the manpower and equipment available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transit boy Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 A few year ago I remember seeing a route 4 but I don't remember where it went ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DE40LFR Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 A few year ago I remember seeing a route 4 but I don't remember where it went ? Most likely a Bomber bus... used for shuttling Winnipeg Bomber spectators from different parts of the city to the Stadium. I do remembering seeing a route 6 this summer for the Bomber game. It woulda made an interesting photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinguni Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 A few year ago I remember seeing a route 4 but I don't remember where it went ? 4 Downtown Spirit connected The Forks to the Exchange District and City Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transit boy Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 4 Downtown Spirit connected The Forks to the Exchange District and City Hall. Do you know when they got caned it and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DE40LFR Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Couldn't it also be a bomber fan fare route? I guess it depends on where and when you saw it. I do remember the 4 Downtown Spirit however a while back. I think the route was canceled because of low ridership as I don't see a route going from the Forks to City hall serves much purpose as the rest of the Downtown Spirit routes.

Kinguni Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Do you know when they got caned it and why? Can't recall, but likely ridership along with what the businesses (that help pay for it) wanted. The 1 and 2 were modified to cover part of the 4's route. Couldn't it also be a bomber fan fare route? No, because those routes aren't part of the the regular route system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DE40LFR Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 No, because those routes aren't part of the the regular route system. True... but the bomber fan fare routes do state the route number on the buses which can lead to some confusion with the spirit routes. All transitboy said was that he seen this route 4 a while back... could of been either or. My word is as good as yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 On all of them I think. I don't think all of them do. Here's 4784 with a curb sensor: http://www.busdrawings.com/Transit/alberta...5870ets4784.jpg , but none of my D60LF photos show the curb sensors: http://www.busdrawings.com/Transit/alberta...d60lf/index.htm . ETS 214 photographed in April 2010 also does not have the curb sensor: http://www.busdrawings.com/Transit/alberta...-8736ets214.jpg . Some of St. Albert's buses have the curb sensors as well.

The newer 2011 blue transfers are slightly a darker shade than 2006.
