Buses in Vancouver, BC (Volume Nineteen)

[@youwu__]

My 129 route was affected by this fleet change from Burnaby buses to Hamilton buses. Now there’s a lot more variety to the fleet

Great video.

[@justinm.1]

Is there some type of automated computer onboard the trolleybuses that's connected to the poles, so it knows which wires to switch to? Or is it up to the driver to do all of that

[@Welwyn22]

Up to the driver - there's a switch inside the trolleys "Power/Coast" which determines which direction the poles go on the switches. Sometimes malfunctions with switches or driver error does occur...

Unfortunately I've sinced moved to Calgary. I hope you like my previous volumes as well as the latest ones. Here's some info on Vancouver's bus fleet for you: cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/TransLink

what are those things ontop of the 250's?

[@Welwyn22]

All West Vancouver Municipal Transit buses have the city coat of arms above their destination displays - cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php?title=West_Vancouver_Municipal_Transit

I like this series too Welwyn. Shows how Vancouver and the area (Why are you in Seattle by the way) shows off its public transit. BTW for BC bus fans I responded to another yahoo comment saying that I did not know if Translink had a bus route from central Victoria to Swartz Bay for foot BC Ferries riders from Vancouver. Does anyone know the real answer to that question?

[@Welwyn22]

Martin Theiss That's BC Transit territory, not TransLink. BCT introduced a more-direct route between Swartz Bay and Downtown Victoria in September 2008.

[@aidankelly4362]

on volume twenty go back to hanny place please

[@Welwyn22]

Haney Place is on the list for Volume Twenty, which is due in September.

[@Welwyn22]

Sorry about the delay! Haney Place is in my newest volume.

[@j.k.1762]

wow I like what they do with Amber alert

[@bodnarbricks1923]

Jack Katsikaris, it is common for them to do that. It helps "spread the word" upon drivers and riders of the system
