ConnorsCompShow Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Damn. Hopefully they come out alright. The hook came out to it around 4 in the morning. Front end's busted up good and something on the roof's cracked. From the sounds of the CBC article it looks like someone noticed something was horribly wrong and might've tried to get the thing stopped, but by that point they were nearly out of stopping room.

LilZebra Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Does anyone know if Transit fares are going up Jan. 1. Secondly, does anyone know if WT still intends to sell paper tickets and passes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnorsCompShow Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 New ad wrap.. 348 on 47 a few days ago on Christmas Eve. This wasn't one of the ones that had wraps before there were rumors of a ban on full wraps some months back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask because usually when WT wants to increase the fares all sorts of opposition (ie poverty groups) come out of the woodwork to oppose them. But I guess we're in an age of nickel and diming transit to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't we just bulldoze the rest of Main St. and replace it all with casinos and strip clubs, to go along with the beer stores, pawn shops and everything else... I agree, Winnipegs looking worse by the year & these images and stories coming out of my birthplace aren't doing any favors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnorsCompShow Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 As does MBLL's DrinkSense one, as well as the one Reliance Superior has (had?) which is funny since it's all images of the exact same guy over and over again down the whole length.

All the ad-wrapped buses’ interior ads are/were for whoever the ad-wrap is/was for (such as GoRVing on 184, Balcaen and Sons on 189 and Kiss 102.3 on 943). There are two LFRs (a 600-series and an 800-series - I don’t remember the exact numbers) that have or had the Reliance Superior wraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard of anything like that. Winnipeg Transit and phone apps are like oil and water. Even the regular website is showing it's age a little bit.

No app. No all door boarding, no fare pre-payment at stations on the transitway, and busses are not in constant communication with the servers so (a) debit/credit isn't an option and (b) online reloads take 48 hours. Peggo really is a "made in Manitoba" solution. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next up, we're gonna bring in "brand new" 30-year old MCI Classics as BRT buses, and bring back the fareboxes which don't even have spare parts or keys for it... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's no longer being considered though. The idea of having the Wolseley bus travel down Wolseley instead of Westminster isn't too bad, but I do not agree with removing it from Balmoral, unless the construction makes it completely impassable.

The only transit service in Wolseley under the TMP will be an extension of the Arlington bus down to Wolseley Ave and then across Wolseley Ave to terminate at Misericordia. With service every 15-30 minutes, I can't imagine this route being very attractive. It would usually be faster to just walk to Portage or Sherbrook to catch a more frequent bus that actually goes somewhere useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
