So are the bus drivers really all driving around in t-shirt & jeans today? Shorts? Sandals?

In Haisting I saw a bus with a lot of police around

Essentially which specific bus units in your opinion should have never been transferred to this transit center and why? I pick transferring NFI XD40s to Surrey Transit Center because that basically left Richmond riders without any AC buses.

Hello! I just moved into a condo near Burquitlam and was wondering if anyone else is having issues with SkyTrain noise. My unit faces the SkyTrain, and I swear it wasn’t really noticeable before moving in, but now it’s killing me. The squeaking sound from the wheels is the worst, especially at night.

Has anyone found any good solutions? My unit already has double-glazed windows installed.

what if someone steals bus and starts driving no one notices because no drivers will be wearing uniforms?

Did anyone find an SFU Student ID Card? Urgent. Need to find it. I will need to pay $20 replacement fee and I don’t have that kind of money right now.

72h Job Action has been given for Unifor 111, 2200

Picket List has gone out.

Reports of 3rd Party Company checking locks on gates in Knox and Burnaby.

Possible Lockout or Strike Possible Monday

EDIT: CLEAR now, according to a rider, and Translink on formerly known as twitter. This is good news for all involved, I think?

I hope it's something manageable and that everyone is ok. Currently, 4 pm, no service Waterfront - Stadium/Chinatown.

First beer, then coffee and tea, now soda? Honestly, I'm down.

oh no I hope bus drivers and mechanics all happy soon...

I stand with all transit peoples so its okay if u wanna strike

I see on instagram there are lots of transit dan accounts theres one for 25 bus and 340 bus

Pls hold on while the bus is in motion. Pls hold on while the bus is in motion.

I love when the bus says this lol. Anyone else?

Is there any way to get a bus number by with the time I boarded and got off a bus?

On August 8, at 6:42 p.m., I boarded the 15 bus at stop 60676 and travelled to stop 52061. When we arrived at our stop (approximately 7pm) I attempted to exit through the rear doors. As we were getting off, a family with young children tried to push past us and board the bus at the same time through the rear doors. I think the bus driver saw this and was trying to close the rear doors to stop them. Regardless, the doors shut on me hard enough to smash and bend my iPhone 14 that was in my pocket which is now inoperable.

I already have notified translink and now have a claim number with ICBC, but it looks like ICBC won’t proceed with a claim without a bus number.

I haven’t heard back from translink yet on whether they will provide me with that info, but in the meantime, is there any other way to locate the bus number??

Also, if you happened to witness this (I was wearing a yellow T-shirt) please report to ICBC!!! I did not notice the damage at the immediate time to gather witnesses beyond my group (which it doesn’t seem they want to rely on).

Thanks for any insight/help!!!

I'm thinking of 4 that come to mind right away. Translink is lacking bus loops we tend to only focus on North South and East-West if any.

Loop #444

Similar to the 430 & 100

Connect it to Bridgeport Station but going back on Marine Way to 22nd Street Station like a loop.

Metrotown-Bridgeport Station

Bridgeport Station-Marine Way

22nd Street Station-Metrotown Station

Loop #333

In Surrey I don't understand why the 335 cannot turn onto 72 Ave with the 319 and just go to Newton Exchange and go up to Scott Road and back down to 152 again like a loop.

Scott Road-72 Ave-152-104 Ave to Scott Road Station

Loop #222

Another Loop is the 241 route going on second narrows bridge and then going down Hastings to Waterfront.

Loop #111

Another Loop to consider is the 19 connecting to the 112 at Edmonds Station.

So Stanley Park to New West Station.
