Why ??

Why do Seattle's XDE60 buses not have the middle door like Vancouver?

he predicted the r6 rapidbus

The 800s are also gone.

3:13 Friday was the 13th, and Saturday was the 14th.

Bruh why

2023?

I don’t like the transmission it makes the bus wine

Effective this week (October 10), the last of the traditional diesel artics have been retired.

6:39 Artic on 119 is wild :0

6:06 “Ford, Chevrolet, and GM” I think you meant Ford, GM, and Stellantis? GM & Chevrolet are one and the same, like Arboc & NewFlyer.

5:43 reminds me of the kyiv metro :)

are there any other trains that sound like this?

FWIW, I’ve heard from very knowledgeable people that bottoming out on the turn to spring was more an operator not understanding the auto leveling feature of the bus and leaving the stop too quickly for it to reinflate the air bags.

you know this happened to me when I was on the train once, doors stayed shut and it stayed there for a bit until an announcement said that the train failed to stop and then it just went to the next station. must have been kinda annoying to people who wanted to get off the train

I find NFI saying that they can’t do 5-door XT60s a load of horse shit. How does two doors on the left side of the vehicle prohibit them from installing a trolley pole system instead of a CNG, diesel, or battery electric system?

Please do R4 rundown

Wait, I thought Madison was in Wisconsin, not Seattle! It's quite a coincidence that the other Madison also just got a new BRT system, and it's fun seeing how similar they are despite being on near opposite sides of the US. Wisconsin also has center running bus lanes and new five-door articulated buses, though we opted for battery-electric (which apparently New Flyer CAN do despite not being able to do it with trolley buses). Bike racks are in the same spot too, and both systems also use letters for routes. Though I envy Seattle's frequency, Wisconsin's tops out at 4 buses per hour PEAK, with 2 buses per hour after 8pm and on Sundays. I'm also impressed with Seattle only leaving 2 lane for cars, Wisconsin mainly ran it down 6-lane roads to ensure at least 4 car lanes were left, and even then the state DOT made them give up the other two lanes during rush hour (part of it runs along a state route). I'd love to see something similar to Seattle on Monroe St in Wisconsin (currently Route D), but I feel like it would be a large hurdle to get that to happen.

As to answer your question about wheelchair boarding from the island platforms via the left side doors, there is a little ramp that slides out the doors. You can see the ramp tucked away under two doors at 4:50. Those ramps slide out onto the platform and serve as a ramp for wheelchairs, etc.

i use the 733 and 741 quite a lot

It is a very interesting video indeed with a left side boarding . I am not sure if that kind of buses will be useful for Metro Vancouver future rapid bus line. Please share some thoughts. thank you.

Thanks for the movement shout out! Hopefully the G Line inspires similar efforts in Metro Vancouver! But we're going to have to push for it. Lots of risk that potential BRT projects get watered down.

That "drift" seems like a mix of operator error and the traction control system not working properly. What a cool catch though!

What a great coincidence! I was learining and doing my research on Seattle's transit network too over the past month because I plan to go visit there just this Wednesday to Saturday! My first time. Nice informative video.

3:57 that drift tho!!!

Hey can you please look at the new Natural Gas Novas near hamilton?

those mk1's need to go. no hvac during extreme heat and overcrowded cars makes it unbreathable in the summer. also the deafening noise is terrible if you don't have noise cancelling headphones.

3:43 5:12 this is where the kpop was

It says not in service

I like these trolleybuses over the electric ones lol

339 340 ??? ???

The R1 is now moving HTC in September

They still have those? I remember going on them when I was young. I want them to go to Richmond so I can ride😢

Would you suppose the older models are using the same MELCO motors as the new ones? I mean they all sound the same.

Most frequently used roots are the 9 to 22 the 99 for me

WHAT DID U SAY ABOUT THE 407 AGAIN?

wait... Theres a 480???

I still dont understand the VIA for the buses....

The mark 2 red light is broken

I thought it was a bus

There's a new bus

Wow. This is great. More joy riding info is a great contribution.

Nice. Crazy day. I drove one of the D60LFR 21000series #2. We had a route to 4th Ave. 4th & Macdonald was a tight turn but no problem with the 60 not tight as #8 turn Broadway/Fraser which is my regular.

👍👍👍

Hot take, I SERIOUSLY DISLIKE the two line display format. I liked the original rapidbus display format better

Weird. A RapidBus 19032 on the 246 is NOT what you see every day.

Tbh they definitely picked a bad time to retire some of the D60LFR’s lol they could’ve been helpful here

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

What are “milk runs”?

I thought for sure Broadway was #1 lol
