2023 updates: February: One LFSe+ is in service (23201) November: First 5 of 15 2022 XDE60 entered service. This fleet has 5 standard buses and 10 RapidBus units for RapidBus fleet expansion in anticipation of the rollout of the R6 Scott Road RapidBus.
November 8, 2021 Update: We are now awaiting additional deckers (ADL E500 - 25) and articulated buses (Non-RapidBus XDE60 - 25) to enter service. No information on possible routes is given at this time until the conclusion of driver sign ups.
The Alexander Dennis buses should actually have the same or more capacity than the 60ft’s - They are a British bus maker and when I was in Hong Kong in 2019, their buses there that are similar can be rated for as much as 146 passengers. Also, the current recommended Covid safe load is about 55 ~ 60, compared to 45 ~ 50 on the 60fts and 30~35 on the 40fts.
I remember what it was like from before they had the C-series routes - I can assure you there are a ton of inconsistencies for C-series routes that *should* have gone back to their old numberings. C7 would have been better as route 114 or 115 but we cant change that now
The beeping sound is just a nearby crosswalk speaker beeping. There's one beep every second as you may notice, It's mainly to aid visually impared people. When a visualy impared person is guided to the crosswalk button by the steady beeping noise, they can press it to activate the crossing sequence. Once it is time to cross, an automated voice will also sound from a nearby speaker saying "walk sign is on, walk sign is on..." After that a countdown will begin and the voice will say "twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen... all the way to one." Then the crossing sequence will be over and the crossing speaker will resume beeping.
Good question - I'm not entirely sure on the exact ratio or percentage but generally it's based on manufacturer. NovaBuses tend to be built in Quebec while our New Flyers are built in Minnesota (despite New Flyer being headquartered in Winnipeg if you're curious). I am not too sure about the shuttle buses though, but I have a hunch that those are made somewhere Langley.

A few have pointed out that the earlier Mk1s were actually built by UTDC, and yes that is true.

Articulated buses actually hold more passengers (standing however). Double deckers have very limited standing room.
May 2023:
57 deckers now in service, all 2001 Orions are retired and scrapped.
@7:22 so weird seeing those D60LFR’s in PoCo than in Burnaby & Vancouver lol
Great Video About #Translink #VancouverBC
remember when most of the comunity shuttles started with the letter c and then a number after it it like for example the 147 now used to be C7
I remember what it was like from before they had the C-series routes - I can assure you there are a ton of inconsistencies for C-series routes that *should* have gone back to their old numberings.
C7 would have been better as route 114 or 115 but we cant change that now
This video is just awesome!
Thank You
D60LFRS are not just in PoCo, Burnaby also has some since D60LFRS are sometimes seen on 257 and 99. You also forgot the Burrard Chinook
Please read the date of upload.
The DE60LFR’s and XDE60’s can also be seen on the 240 and the 44
Not in Fall 2020 (the time of posting)!
Unsure when an update comes out though - shuttles portion is largely outdated.
lol did that just bus really honk at u ?
😂 😂
1985 Mk1 (UTDC) & 1991 (UTDC)
YES
Woner what does this beeping sound means at 1:33?

Very interesting! Where are most of the buses made from?

What routes other than 701 and 791 have 2006 C40LFR
@@pacfilming8117 mostly every route in Coquitlam
You missed the Ferries instead of seabus!
Thats not Translink? SeaBus is a foot passenger ferry
@@jmstransit Ok
You really should start narrating! You would gain many more viewers and subscribers. :)
This is exactly my plan for some of my future videos - there's a bit of equipment and hardware settings I need to figure out first.
Wait i don't think I saw u show the d60lf
maybe because theyre all gone
Me=brain dead
Wait wheres de60lfr?
Nvm found it
I’m pretty sure the 1991 Mark I’s are UTDC built.
Will pin any UTDC-related mistakes in my follow-up comment - thanks
