The rule applies quite generally to whenever there's a queue of buses at a bus stop. Passengers are expected to board the first two buses in the queue at the same time, rather than waiting for the first bus to depart and the second bus to pull right up to the stop. On a street like Graham Avenue, which is a steady line of buses in rush hour, it would slow down operations considerably if the buses only boarded one at a time. In principle the two-bus rule allows buses to depart in pairs rather than one at a time. In practice, my experience is that the driver of the second bus will often stop again at the actual stop, but will say something to the passenger like "Didn't you see me right there? Why didn't you board already?" And, of course, people are allowed to board the third and fourth buses in the queue, too, but those buses are so far back from the stop that they do have to stop again, because it's not practical to make everyone to scurry back that far to board their bus. More people need to know about this rule 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice the Southwest Transitway routes are mentioned on the Graham Avenue routes affected as 60, 61, 62, 63, 80, 81. The 100 prefix is missing. When do you think this dates from?

It didn’t have a date on it I want to assume was made for when they learned we made the play offs and made it on the fly. But I’m guessing was put together quickly as i found it between the 66 schedule and the 24/83. Btw this bus ends as a 71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viafreak Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 The difference for Game 5 is that Graham is part of the Street Party hence the changes in the reroutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor204 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Changes to Route 78 be come in effect Sept 2018. http://clkapps.winnipeg.ca/DMIS/ViewDoc.asp?DocId=17012&SectionId=&InitUrl= The 78 Cambridge will stay as is. However the 78 Kenaston route will become 74 Kenaston Crosstown, and be: 1) Rerouted through Bison and Waverley (South of Bishop Grandin) instead of Pembina. 2) Service to the Outlet Collection of Winnipeg (with time connections with the 84) 3) Service to Tuxedo Business Park and Lowson Cresent during peak hours. 4) Service will be extended to 11 pm. While riding the 78 Kenaston, I notice they are a lot of international students, who use the Pembina / University Cres bus spot and transfer onto the 78 Kenaston to travel to MITT on Henlow Bay. Once the new 74 service they will have to find a new way to get to MITT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think its needed as the 78 Kenaston has gotten quite bloated as it serves just about every retail development north of MITT. Note the 74 will still serve MITT. I like that the Tuxedo Business Park and Industrial Area will only be served during rush hour. Its not needed outside those hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
