TechSpotlight Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 CT's running short of shuttle ops this evening! Here are a few spottings from Transit55. 8316 is on a late night 111 block, 7640 is also on a late night 93 block, 8280 and 7660 are on the 17 and 8043 is on a late night 53 block. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbeat Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Also: 7669, 7685 and 8260 on Route 24. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbeat Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 8047 seen idling at 6 Ave/2 St SW operating as Route 1 Bowness. Was previously operating as Route 302 … Transit55 lists it as “Out of Service”. I suspect this is a rescue/floater of some kind, as three of the four Route 1 buses currently in service are suffering heavy delays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just occurs to me there should have been five buses operating on Route 1 at that time of the night on a weekend. I guess the missing bus was an "out of ordinary non-spotting"!

I guess the missing bus was an "out of ordinary non-spotting"! As accurate as Transit55 is, it is only as accurate as the schedules that are published at the beginning of every schedule period. Frankly, assignments and blocks of work get recut on a daily basis for various reasons. The way i see it, it is a Spring Gardens 40 foot bus on a Spring Gardens 40 foot block of work. It “could” be a number of things (breakdown, fill trip, recut work, etc). However, we are referring to an unnofficial schedule source to determine if thats the bus that “should” be there or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a couple shuttles with bad order CADs, or other reasons it may not show up on a third party source, and it is right on par. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downbeat Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Just saw 6044 out of service near City Hall. Don’t often see articulated buses on the weekend anymore! (Outside of CTrain shuttle duty that is.) EDIT: Saw a few more behind that one … garage moves to Stoney and/or Spring Garden, I presume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.Lorfing Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Was driving Southbound on Deerfoot Trail and there was about 20 Novabus and 7600 series New Flyers heading North from Spring Gardens to Stoney Trail Garage. About an hour ago (14:45ish) If i wasn't driving i would have taken a picture. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancouver Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I guess not really out of the ordinary with the new sheet, but interesting to see some of the assignments from Stoney. There were artics on a run of the 9 and 23 this morning because they were interlined with the 116. And a couple of 7600s on the 307 during the AM peak which probably makes sense since they were only out as AM trippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
