It helps a bit, but is not the same as AC and is a big deterrent to taking transit in summer. I'd rather take a mode of transport that doesn't induce a noxious smell of heavy perspiration from other passengers (like a D40LFR or an XD40...)

SirAndrew710 Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 The data on TransitFeeds expires on June 19th, so I’d imagine there will be one on the 20th. That’s still three weeks out, and since COVID, we’ve been lucky to be notified more than a week in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Portage corridor (specifically the 21 and 22) needs clean-up. Put it back to how they were on the (normal) Spring 2020 schedule, and change the 11 to fit in with that too. Or if Transit wants to start implementing parts of the TMP, extend the BLUE to Assiniboia. Other route schedules need some improvement too, in part because of recent reductions.

Maybe they could finally figure out that CentrePort Canada needs bus service, to cover the hundreds if not thousands of new workers in the NW corner of Winnipeg? Or maybe re-route some feeders to help them break-even? WT definitely doesn't have a shortage of shelved projects & route extensions... might be a good time to actually try to expand service if possible, especially to any fully employed, industrial areas such as CentrePort (which the 28 and 31 BARELY cover to begin with).

They’ve been looking for excuses to cut service since before the pandemic. That, combined with the fact that it will be the summer change, when they reduce everything anyway, means the chances of that happening are non-existent.

SirAndrew710 Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 The new schedule is out. Notably, the 22 has been converted into a fully-unidirectional route, with the 21 providing service to and from Assiniboia at both rush hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's CAP I've seen the driver's area of the older and newer D30LF they have never had A/C. Although the 500s were supported to have A/C but something about the mayor didn't want them at the time  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Williams Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 If anybody is interested, I've created a Windows program that tries to simulate a Winnipeg Transit Luminator controller and display. I know that Andrew did show his version awhile back, though I'm not sure if he provided a link to it. If you are using the keyboard to manipulate the controller, make sure the controller is the active window. To change the sign, click the Dest A or Dest B buttons on-screen (or press A or B on the keyboard) and type in the code using the number buttons on-screen (or using the keyboard). To change the P/R, use the P/R button on-screen (or press P on the keyboard), and type in the code using the number buttons on-screen (or using the keyboard). If you want to change the colour of the front display between white and orange, press C on the keyboard. ODK3, Dest 1603:                  ODK4, P/R 582:  Download: https://mega.nz/file/VBtnEISR#KtoBWLgtqMlcQv9uKMPKHtVJILcBd_k7azZeD-1Q278 Codes: https://1drv.ms/x/s!Al89uMyu353TejL8LLzxHZz8D2g?e=BTzcMn Edit: Updated look of the controllers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
