Wow! Very cool! So does that mean there might be a higher chance of a cng nova being in the southern area?

Probably not. The CNG.S will still keep servicing the northern areas of Calgary. Probably the southern part of Calgary will be getting Spring Gardens buses

I mean…. If it is done right. Paid travel time is still a legitimate factor.

😂 nope not new here but that was the purpose of buses 7880 to 7920 moving from Spring Gardens to Anderson and buses 8016 to 8060 moving from Anderson to Spring Gardens back in 2018 as the northern part of Calgary was in demand for new buses.

But it still is possible as dispatch could have a off week like in december where they were dispatching more SF / SG buses due to shortages.

It's definitely a snow day today: no artics dispatched on Routes 3/301, according to Transit 55. I wouldn't be surprised if 60-footers pop up where they're not normally used.

You'd be correct on that one. Here's a few: 

6036 - 30

6070 - 159 (am only, does 23 after)

6081, 6094 - 43 

 

On that note, 7807 did the 145/23 17th Ave this morning as well.

how come 8006 is at yyc airport after it finished the 17? Why did it not go to VP?

8006 is doing a fill trip on the 300 because 8301 was involved in a collision so to fill the gap while the replacement unit entered service control got 8006 to do a trip on the 300
