GTFS trackers were down 2119 was on 20 this morning and is not in service this afternoon. 2109 is on 6/7/8 all day. 2106 is on 23/24 this afternoon. 2105 is on 1 all day. 2101 is on 2 all day. So much for my comment on the end of the Vicinities on odd routes. 1843, 1844, 1850 are on 20 this afternoon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seashore_518203 Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 On 10/4/2022 at 6:47 PM, hamilton.area.transit said: 2101 has the old destination sign programming from years ago. Instead of saying "2 Barton, Hamilton GO Centre" it says "2 Barton, to Downtown" with "Barton" in a very small font. Hopefully it gets changed because its ugly and people have a hard time seeing the route name with it like that This has been fixed. Thanks for posting about the inconsistency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonka Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) With every new order of buses that comes along, I'm surprised that the HSR is able to shuffle things around enough to fit them in at the mountain garage. Anybody know whats going on with the construction of the new garage? I figure that must at least be beyond the design phase by now? I tried to google it but the latest thing I found was from 2020. Edited October 12, 2022 by Wonka cause the first version made no sense, whoops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes. One of my relatives who used to be a school teacher in Hamilton refers to Barton St. as "Drug Alley". Did the two new buses survive their debut or did they get burned to the waterline to put it in nautical terms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Nova and New Flyer do it now, and ive heard bad reviews on them. To tight against their neck and very tight against the chest. I believe it's now provincial law to include shoulder belts in the driver's compartment on any new bus purchases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 15 hours ago, hamilton.area.transit said: From what im told (not 100% confirmed), 2 buses will be on the 18, and 2 other will be on the MyRideOnDemand. This target date for this to happen is November 5th. I'm an HSR driver and you are correct, the Mountaineer route will have 2 blocks at any given time completing a full loop every hour, for half-hour service. On demand will then have 2 buses at any given time. Obviously, both blocks are Garage to Garage, so you'll have 2 buses in the AM, then 2 new ones for the PM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leapster10 Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Bus 2115 has broken down on-route already... I believe it was on route 23. I've just seen it be towed away from the nearby KFC at the traffic lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seashore_518203 Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 2203 was delivered today. This is the second bus to arrive from this order of 31 (2201-2231). It will include a 2222 which will be the second "quad number" in the fleet along with 1111. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got informed today. This happened on December 5th https://www.caasco.com/advocacy/worst-roads/2022-results I guess it's for good reason Barton St. tops the CAA's list of worst roads in Ontario. Any idea which section of Barton St. specifically that wrecked the bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seashore_518203 Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 11 hours ago, hamilton.area.transit said: my source says otherwise. He says he saw 2201, 2202, 2204, 2205, 2207, 2209, and 2211. I did not know this was a competition ! Based on the wording of your reply, it sure sounds that way. I have not been "up the hill" for a few days so there could be more up there. 2203 has been delivered (no photo for proof, but I did see it) so no list can ever be totally up to date. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
