a.dicion Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 You can add W300 as well. Entered into community bus service a couple of days after W299 did on the 402. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Articulated Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 59 minutes ago, TTC Guy said: Why are the doing more? I would guess to have a higher spare ratio? When they only had W100-W107 and W211 as Community Buses, there were only 9 vehicles with a requirement of 7 vehicles in service on a weekday. That only leaves you with 2 spare vehicles. Also remember that the earliest Friendly Buses are now 10 years old - which is getting pretty ancient for cutaways, even with the amount of work TTC has put into them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Although the Promaster CS-2 is the current vehicle of choice for WheelTrans, IMO its capacity is way too low to function on the Community Bus routes. Although they can seat 7 based on the sales brochure, once there's two wheelchairs on board the seating capacity seems to drop to 0. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
D40-90 Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Whats a rough estimate amount of years that the current community buses have left. And any updates on the whole community routes expansion? Link to post Share on other sites

Eren Jaeger Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 For the past few weeks, it appears there is a red info thing installed on Danforth Road and Savarin Street (both sides) meaning the 16 McCOWAN may have some stops designated as shared Wheel-Trans stops since I passed by it during construction on the watermain that happened since last month.

Someguy3071 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 They're called Family of Services Shared Stops. So Wheel-Trans will drop people off and regular bus will pick them up. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
