Snow is falling right now as I am typing this. Thankfully it is not a blizzard like it was back on December 23 2020. Nearly 40cm of snow in some areas of the city that day. Luckily today is just a light dusting
They don't want to spend money on snow tires [ which are available overseas ] because they would have to change the legislation which would mean less money for the bureaucrats to stuff in their back pockets .
Unfortunately there were cuts all over the city less police, fire crews, less transit drivers. This city sucks now because it relied on oil from the province and oil no longer is the money maker.
@@rob9995 I think the cuts to police were okay. Our police budget was as high as some American cities with much higher populations. Even the police department made a statement that their budget was too high (Edmonton was buying tanks for their police! It was a little out of control). Transit is so essential though...
Or never make it at all. That day all the buses were getting stuck. The routes in my area were not running because they could not get the buses to communities. The smaller buses are way less powerful than the bigger buses.
You see all the stuck sideways busses? The several feet of snow did a number on them but this city is deplorable at clearing streets unless its downtown too bad bus stops arent important most of those spots in between the few feet of snow are all pure ice getting on busses is scary lol
They really need to invest in some snow tires. I talked with a technician at the depot and they say that the city doesn't fund for seasonal tires. Only street tires.
Some drivers are but it is the buses themselves that suck. Low floor buses are not great in the winter. The city regrets getting rid of the high floor buses. They were the Classic Series. Just not so great going up hills. In deep snow.
That storm was a BASTARD! I was over 2 hours late getting to work that day; car was stuck, couldn't call a cab, couldn't get a bus. That day was a living nightmare.
I walked to my bus stop, caught the bus to Bridlewood station & took the train to City Hall. No delays & the hardest part was the snow I had to walk through because the sidewalk wasn’t shovelled. Thankfully I start work at 2pm & not in the morning. I was expecting it to be worse! Our car has winter tires on & it was a beast...got through the snow with little resistance. Other cars in our neighbourhood- Hubs helped push cars out & another helper told one owner who attempted to drive with summer tires “when I get you out, go home and stay there”.
I am glad that it worked out for you. It seems like if there is an area that a political figure lives in that is area that gets cleared first after the major roads. Or done first before the major roads.
@@rob9995 oh I lucked out that I live off of a major bus route (3 bus routes drive down Sun Valley Blvd) & some energetic person-possibly with a snow blower, cleared 3/4 of a length of sidewalk towards the bus stop otherwise it would’ve taken me 20mins to trudge through the snow to that stop that takes 5mins to get to. Just sheer luck. I usually have the bus not show up, or be late & that is on regular days! I was amazed it came on time! Earlier, 3 buses had “incidents” on one road into our neighbourhood & it was blocked off for a while so my expectations where low. At work the management bought everyone who showed up Subway subs, just to thank us for showing up! They did this for all 3 shifts...our crew only 15 out of the 22 minimum needed to run the place, arrived. A replacement coworker took 2hrs to get there because she only had all seasons tires & got stuck numerous times. BTW the political figure that lived in our neighbourhood moved & quit politics so none here right now.
The bus driver on the 306 left passengers at the stop because of the snow banks on 37th street. I called it in and Transit was disgusted that the stop was never cleared and that the driver even took off on the passengers. That was earlier this afternoon
Omg when the camera turns and reveals that it’s at the train station... they didn’t even prioritize plowing the bus loop. This bus isn’t going to stand a chance in the neighbourhoods.
Also, I took the 20 for years. Learning that they don’t have snow tires makes sense... I remember the bus sliding aaaaaaaalll the way down the hill on 29th, cars trying to get out of the way while also sliding. So scary!
There was one icy day I was on the #20 going down the hill after the hospital slightly sideways, a car passed in the other direction and I could have sworn I heard a scream.
A few years ago Calgary Transit used to run buses down 7Ave corridor in downtown. Buses used to get stuck all the blocking C-Trains from running. Since 2017 buses have not ran down 7 Ave now known as the C-Train corridor except for training buses and only during spring-fall.
This is all because the powers that be are too cheap to put winter tires on the busses... that day it took me 3 1/2 hours to get home from work when its generally just less than an hour
@@rob9995 I totally agree.... there were two busses sitting on a 45° with there rear ends against the curb northbound center street and 17th Ne and a third a block down that sat stuck there for over 24 hrs
Not as bad as it was back on St. Patrick's day in 1997. Almost 3ft of snow fell. That had forced the closure of the entire city. The storm back in December was just bad timing. Days before the holidays and city workers took extra time do to covid.
These newer buses don't have the power they used to. They now care for more about the environment than getting through the city. The LNG buses have no power to them in snow. Quite and fuel efficient but no guys to plow throw. The city had buses that plowed through winter snow but got stuck going up hills. Those were called the Classic Series with stairs to get on and off.
All day buses were stuck. Crews did around to that night after the storm passed. But left alot of buses in the loop needing to be towed out. The next day the city was littered with buses stuck from the day before and that morning rush commute. One bus was in a community for almost two days after the storm.
I recall the 1997 storm well. My roommate got up and I asked her what she thought of our new lawn ornament - the back end of the #7 bus. She headed back to bed going, “oh my god, oh my god...”
Calgary Transit DOES NOT put winter tires on the buses! Next time look at the rear tires, doesn’t matter the time of year or weather the tires you see are used year round
City management knows that the same tires work all year round. Probably some of the city management workers have all seasons in winter. They know what is best.
@@rob9995 They know what’s best! What a joke. A retired transit operator doesn’t know shit!!! For your information Bc transit in Victoria during the winter months replaces the tires on the bus to studded every tire including the steer tires are studded for the winter months. They do that in Victoria bud but not Calgary! Think about the cost of stuck buses what do you think it’s free or buses not showing up!! I drove Calgary Transit for years bud I know exactly what I’m talking about!! Studded-tires during the winter would be a benefit.
But Calgary's bike paths were plowed, sanded and swept first as they are priority one routes which few people use or pay for. At least transit brings in some revenue of a sort.
There are a lot of snow in Calgary’s back alleys and the city don’t clear it. This needs to CHANGE because the residents in the back alleys are taxpayers and they need snow removal services. If residents stuck there, how they can come to other roads the city is clearing. Every resident of Calgary who parks their cars in back alleys, please contact to your councilor and the city and ask for snow removal policy change in back alleys. # We can do this and we can change this. Thanks
Have you ever seen a garbage truck stuck in an ally due to the snow. I haven't yet. Buy that time though most people had already done the best they could to get out.
I was saying by the trucks get down the Ally's the residents would have already done made the tracks. But if you people to drive garbage that is fine with me. Would way less convenient though having to drive your own garbage to the dump.
The more pressing matter to me is health related...what if someone has a heart attack in their home and the ambulance cant reach them?...thats something worth discussion
@@rob9995 bro whats expensive is bloody lunches that Government spends on. I worked for a consulting firm that had Government as their client. You won't believe the amount of blatant corruption such as $3000 worth of daily claims on lunches!!!!! That is back in 2014.
Should have suspended runs for a couple of hours and get a good snowplow to clear main bus lines first. It isn't safe for anyone to drive on roads that oversaturated with packed snow.
Sure was a bad. Just came at a hard time. Right before christmas and right during the very early morning rush into the afternoon. Sure was a nice evening after that.
Depending on the month and city. I lived in both Edmonton and Calgary in Alberta. I would take Calgarys winter over Edmonton winter. We can be at +8C and at the same time Edmonton could be -17C and snow. We are lucky to be near the mountains and get Chinooks like today.
This is what frustrates me about Calgary, the politicians are more interested in spending millions on fluoride in the drinking water & millions on a hockey arena with no fans able to attend. Meanwhile hardworking taxpayers are trying to get to work, providing they still can....but the roads remain nearly impossible to navigate with the average vehicle for weeks! I though we were forward thinking and trying to get people back to work, but clearly it has become painfully obvious what priorities are more important.
This storm unfortunately came early morning rush but the city is more concerned with major roads than keeping transit moving from train stations. The city also knew that this storm was coming. Just sucked that it hit two days before Christmas.
That was a fun day trying to get home. Buses everywhere. And my friend asked me to help him get out while he did deliveries. Just was a day to stay home.
And on the back of the bus is the picture of the reason for which there is no money for new tires: a FAKE VIRU*. As if those those pieces of cloth would protect you from a deadly viru.., if there was one.
@@kkate25 Open your eyes and mind, and do your research. If you listen to the main stream b.s. media (owned by few corporations) then you do not know much, except bunch of lies...
It was not the driver. The City of Calgary keeps the same tires on all year round. And the city will not buy winter tires. All the buses in Calgary are like that.
The buses are not built to accommodate chains the fender openings are to small and the buses are to low to the ground. The drive would not be able to install chains even if he had them
Once the bus got going at the end , the one passenger should have pulled the bell cord to get off.
Snow banks are fun.
That drift is unmatched to this day
Just hope that we don't get another storm like that again
Well, that might change because of the clipper storms we’re getting over the next couple of weeks... get the shovels ready lol
Snow is falling right now as I am typing this. Thankfully it is not a blizzard like it was back on December 23 2020. Nearly 40cm of snow in some areas of the city that day. Luckily today is just a light dusting

I am glad that storm was done by days end. Not lasting days.
Winter is still not over yet

@@rob9995 yep. Then you miss your physics test and get a call from home cuz you were absent🙃
Always can take the test at later date hopefully.
When you fervently hope your teacher’s car is also stuck somewhere.
But all buses are rear wheel drive which stinks in the winter
Just keep your foot on the gas until March!
Just don't blow the engine.
Was quarantine for 14 days so I miss a lot of this...
You see all the stuck sideways busses? The several feet of snow did a number on them but this city is deplorable at clearing streets unless its downtown too bad bus stops arent important most of those spots in between the few feet of snow are all pure ice getting on busses is scary lol
Buses were all over the place in downtown as well. Poor driving skills in the core. Park right in snow banks. Not on the plowed road.
I thought I was the only one that noticed that too. They clean a remove the snow only in downtown streets, sidewalks and bus stop.
They really need to invest in some snow tires. I talked with a technician at the depot and they say that the city doesn't fund for seasonal tires. Only street tires.
Yah unfortunately the tires cost way to much and I think tire companies should reconsider their tires and the cost.
@@rob9995 they can Lease the tires which would be a write off! Bc Transit leases their tires
The longest radio station commercial ive ever seen!
They are even on big massive boards. I will try to get a vid of a radio advertisement billboard.
Not gonna lie, some of these bus drivers are excellent in the snow
Some drivers are but it is the buses themselves that suck. Low floor buses are not great in the winter. The city regrets getting rid of the high floor buses. They were the Classic Series. Just not so great going up hills. In deep snow.

There was a bus in the Taradale community stuck in a hugeee snowbank for 3 days!!! No one could drive on that road.
I didn't even think about that
I used to drive for Calgary Transit from 2007 to 2014 . Great Times ...
My friends uncle were 37 years on Calgary Transit and yeah when he retired it was the best moment of his life.
Friggin made it through like a Bowsss!! Had ‘er pinned to the floor and slowly got out like a Wooly Mammoth!!!
Hopefully you stayed warm.
Those two people are just chilling lol
Probably not really enjoying the ride. Until the bus finally left.
How many temperatures in calgary☃️
Yep.. no plow or sanding truck.. next day everything melts...
DEJA VU! I JUST BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE! HIGHER ON THE STREET AND I KNOW ITS MY TIME TO GO HOME!

I take the 20 in the summer for work.

I hate some of these hills in this city the buses drive on. Even on a detour some buses can't make the smaller hills. Like the 29.
Never seen a D40LFR stuck like that

Too bad the city won’t let people into the bloody station while it’s freezing outside... I say that because I’m at heritage station a lot too
The outbreak caused the homeless junkies to take over and just shoot/smoke drugs and cigarettes and also drink.
Deja vu! I just been in this place before
I was there last winter but didn't record it.
on 21 dece 2020,I personally saw 4 busses was suffering on the road, the city was not ready for the winter,
It was poor timing and mostly poor planning on the cities part for not having the crew on the go when the snow fell.
They are never ready for it.. every year is the same, nothing new here.
This is all because the powers that be are too cheap to put winter tires on the busses... that day it took me 3 1/2 hours to get home from work when its generally just less than an hour
Every city that gets snow should be mandatorily to have winter tires for buses.

As a Cadillac driver. I do not feel sorry for you. Buy a car. Only losers ride the bus.
Get a car if you don’t like it
I mean what do you expect when they're is like 40cm of snow or something

Where is the fast and furious Tokyo theme?

No snow tires
Unfortunately cities across North America do not want to pay for snow tires for their Transit fleet.
You think they could adapt an awd system.......
They are now into LNG buses that are quite and fuel efficient without any power. Those low floor buses suck.
