ProfessorWho Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I’ve been making an interesting observation these past 3 days. I live along route 14 and I’ve been noticing that for the past 3 days there seems to be an extra bus/key that has been assigned to the route during the off peak. Its not noted on the schedules on the app nor the blocks on transit 55. It roughly slots itself around 15-20 mins between the regularly scheduled trips. I almost caught it today at 2:30 at Somerset heading West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost caught it today at 2:30 at Somerset heading West There are multiple scheduled Route 14 buses that only do trips to the west inbetween regular keys. When they return to the station, they go out of service for a short time and then start back in westbound. The first one starts around 14:30, as there is atleast 1 school on that route that gets out around that time daily. Suprisingly, it does not appear this bus was cut along with the other winter break cuts for school runs and school extra regular blocks of work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that 7950 seemed to have broke down at the garage and 7985 was the replacement, it was already over an hour late being sent anyways, and quite frankly it’s too bad none of the school runs in the surrounding areas at the time finishing up did a trip to relief that load of people needing that 124, given that there were numerous buses around the area that could have at the time (7739, 7746, 7810, 7814, 6063 to name a few). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the entire block during the day did not track whatsoever, as 1336 was on the piece for most of the day until approximately after 6pm. 8140 was not logged onto the CAD as it finished the rest of the block during the evening. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downbeat Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Noticed 8261 earlier today operating on Route 1, making for a rare weekday appearance of an XD40 on the route. According to Transit55, it changed off 7871 in the early afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorWho Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 My guess is that it might be due to the fact that some snow fell overnight in parts of the city so they went on the side of caution and deployed the Artics on 40 ft runs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC_YYC Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Dispatch had quite a fun time dispatching articulated buses this morning and afternoon creating many notable sightings and causing disaster for mainline routes. 6084 - 76/97/129/159/303 6086 - 100 (Changed off 20:34) 6093 - 128/23 6064 - 100 (Changed off 16:54) 6067 - 100 6056 - 9/23/43/135/303 6057 - 159/23 6062 - 43 6080 - 174 6040 - 306 6004 - 92/10 6015 - 304 6017 - 304/102/167/23 6087 - 124 7847 - 82/31 7898 - 31/113/142 I witnessed 6064 being changed off on the 100 and it was nothing short of a disaster. The driver originally arrived at North Pointe with Out Of Service on the sign and told passengers he was getting a change off. The driver had supposedly called for a change off while he was at the airport and was told one would be waiting for him at North Pointe there was no bus for a change off at north pointe, he called control who then said they weren't aware of a change-off. The driver then called someone else and finally was told his change off originally was 8192 and was waiting for him but got sent back to the garage and that they would turn him around shortly after the change off showed up leaving him about 25-30 minutes late.
