Vekoma Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 They need to switch the bus stop for the 5 and the 1A/10 at Main/Macnab. The transit priority light is supposed to help buses merge back into traffic, but with the 5's having recovery time at the front spot, it means the 1A or 10 will still have to merge into active traffic if a 5 is present.

Or they could, I dont know, finally spread out the schedules between the routes instead of having them idiotically clustered together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enjoy the sorry state of affairs with the way service is operated with certain municipalities, then there's nothing for us to discuss. I'm sure management would love extra pats on the back so feel free to give it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't apply to Miway. Word is you didn't make it past the 1st round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonka Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Does anyone know whats up with the Vicinity's? I rode the 12 a week ago but got a 40 footer and noticed all the runs on the 6/7/8 on Wednesday were also 40 footers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may see one on the 12, but it’s less and less now. It is my belief, and I could be wrong, that the pandemic and aftermath/fall out has caused them to be parked, for the most part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8792 Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 I was on the 401 on the weekend and spotted an HSR Nova on delivery. I think the fleet number was 2119. Was this a 2021 build just getting delivered now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct 1 minute ago, 8792 said: How come they're not 22xx's in that case? They are numbered in the 21xx because they were part of the 2021 budget, but production delays have meant they haven't been built/delivered until now. Similar story as to why the 17xx/18xx LFS buses have two separate fleet series, despite having been built together with consecutive VINs; they were part of separate budgets and have number allocations as such. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8792 Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Ah ok so HSR use year ordered vs year built to identify the fleet. Will be interesting to see if OC Transpo are returning to the first two numbers representing the year given the ZEVs are 2101-2104 and were delivered in 2021.
