Canadian National Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 This whole discussion about the Kanata flashing is driving me nuts. All buses were flashing Kanata and now that problem is being fixed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for 30 Minutes Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 This whole discussion about the Kanata flashing is driving me nuts. All buses were flashing Kanata and now that problem is being fixed... From my general observations, the flashing 96 problems plagues the VII and the Inveroes.

C.Flat Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Saw an Invero on the 4 today and the rear destination was flashing 4, rather than just the solid number like other routes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waiting for 30 Minutes Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Saw an Invero on the 4 today and the rear destination was flashing 4, rather than just the solid number like other routes It's not just the Inveroes. I've noticed a number of Luminator Horizons have the flashing rear when it's going Hurdman-bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enviro_1203 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I noticed on all of the luminator signs I saw yesterday, when signed up 27 Gatineau, the side sign is doing what the front did with 96 Kanata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enviro_1203 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Route "170 Walter Baker" flashes on Inveros now. Saw it a few minutes ago Its probably just the driver hasn't noticed the sign has the P/R on. There is no way that it just started doing that because the card was last updated i believe in november. you would have noticed that sooner. if it was just updated cause the 96, they would not have touched any other routes besides the 96.

tomsbuspage Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Spotted 5069 at St. Laurent Station this morning signed "Stanley's/Wedding Shuttle". I don't know who Stanley is, but I don't think my fiancée will allow me to charter a bus for our wedding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotorCityMachineGun Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Spotted a 50xx(5072, I think) as the 1 Ottawa Rockcliffe. Thing is, it did not say 1 OTTAWA, it had the Ottawa Rockcliffe just like the Invero's and everything else. Also, effective next booking the 7X's will no longer display 7X SPECIAL or 7X Ottawa Rockcliffe, they are becoming 7X BRITTANY. MCMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The double deckers still have the programing from Fall 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason L Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I've seen a lot of buses lately (no route in particular it seems) that just have signs flashing for no apparent reason. It's like they're changing to a different route, but it doesn't change... Also I've seen "MERRY X-MAS" and "SNO-BUS" signs put up in the middle of summer before (not this past summer... a few summers ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they're changing to a different route, but it doesn't change... If it's a Luminator sign, it's because there is sign code put in "PR" (Public Relation messages) where there shouldn't be any. OC Transpo does not have any Public Relation messages (note that Merry Christmas or Sno-Bus, etc, are actually destination sign messages not Public Relation messages). To get rid of the flash, the operator would have to put "0" as the PR sign code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get rid of the flash, the operator would have to put "0" as the PR sign code. I agree with what Jason said. But it is not the PR on the sign controler, nor the Clever Devices. Since Clever Devices controls the signs, whatever is programmed on the card for CD will display on the sign, most if not all routes blink because the programming for CD. Another thing, with CD, on rte 98, after the bus leaves Walkley Station southbound, signs will all go blank. The only way to fix this and have the signs operate is to go into manual mode and select the 98 route from Greenboro to Hawthorne. If you ignore it, signs stay blank until the bus will leave Hawthorne on a Northbound 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
