ShuttleWV Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 West Vancouver Update. Im told this has already been posted somewhere however i dont see it in the WV Thread. Two or Three Arbocs are now painted if not all by now. September 4th sees WV taking over all Shuttle Routes in North Van C15 227 plus the 214 which is Coventional during peak. This will mean some CMBC shuttles being transferred to Westvan. Conventional Hybrids for 2018 and last but not least. Fishbowl 61 got out a few weeks ago and wants to play more!

Stormscape Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Just so we're clear, 214 conventional service will remain CMBC work, and will NOT transfer to WVMT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Bus Fan Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 West Vancouver Blue is getting hybrid conventional buses? That is going to be interesting how they perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brando737 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I will confirm that the 214 will remain CMBC conventional. Where is it confirmed that WVT is getting hybrids? If that is the case then CMBC will be getting more hybrids since West Van gets thier buses from CMBC orders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpLift Vancouver Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hybrids for West Van? This will be interesting. Let's hope they're BAE HDS200 & not Allison H40EP. Only way to find out is to wait & see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Vicinity was the only low floor / ramp-equipped shuttle bus available so far. Looking forward to seeing these in service! They have air conditioning, right?

It shoulld have a farebox installed by Friday if not already.
