I saw 2 xde40s at heading to malton it was 1724 and 1725 

I don't believe you... Stuff hasn't even been installed on them yet.. In fact, I don't think 1722, 1723 even had its stuff set up yet as it was just delivered last week... The units up at Malton are ready for service and are just temporarily stored there... New buses get delivered to Central for prepping first. 

I should start asking you for proof in future sightings you make...

Surprised that @noahrp24 didn't notice that @Abubakkar said XDE40, which only BT has in the GTA at the moment.

Coming back to the September service changes, I believe nobody mentioned that Dixie Transitway Station is set to receive GO Transit service using platforms C and D. I would assume that this would be the new Union - Winston Churchill route, and that it would probably be delayed until Renforth is complete. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Am surprised that there are now banner ads being applied on the sides of the XD40 buses. Perhaps it may be a test to see how well they adhere to the panels along the sides before considering applying similar ones on the XD60s and/or the 08/09 D40LFRs and 08 D60LFR's

The ad frames on the older buses were causing corrosion issues if I recall correctly. They're just doing partial side wraps from now on for those buses without the racks or had its racks removed at some point in time...

It will be for routes 40 and 19, with 25 and 29 to follow in April.

I believe that these ads have been applied to the back of XD40s for some time now.

Anyone confirm this please for me?

New Flyer Xcelsior 11xx involved in an accident back in March 22 of this year on route 13.

My friend posted this pic on Instagram the day it happened. I checked the wiki pages and news and I saw nothing.

I just noticed that on the main MiWay wiki page, it says that the 17xx order has Voith D864.5, but the the specific page containing the details of each single bus says that the busses has Voith D864.6. Can somebody please verify and correct?

Q: Does a MiWay driver need to do something to "start" PRESTO when he leaves the garage?  Last week I was on a bus that had a 4am start, tapped Presto at 8:10, and my audit log shows 4:04am.  I was then charged again on next bus at 9:23.  & yes - I've requested a refund from PRESTO.
