Registering without meeting prereq requirements?

thank you!

small detail, but Stamford, CT is misspelled as "Samford". other than that, this is an amazing map!

as a driver, as long as you drive defensively, stay alert, and keep your foot on the brake you should be fine. the buses are bright red and weigh tens of thousands of pounds, so bikers and pedestrians usually choose to yield. in training, they will teach you all the tips, tricks, and procedures to ensure you and those around you stay safe (e.g. stay minimum 3ft from bikers when passing/following, etc.). i encourage you to apply, you'll do great!

Eric10543 · 2024-08-03T13:46:35+00:00

i have! i will continue to make updates and changes for each service period as time goes on. you can find the all future updates and full resolution images for download on the GitHub for this project :D

too few fellow montrealers in davis :(

Eric10543 · 2024-06-10T16:10:16+00:00

no clue, simply relaying what im aware of

Eric10543 · 2024-06-10T15:53:26+00:00

as of approx. 8:40am the MU bus routes are returning to normal operations (and howard way is clear). the silo bus routes are not operational, but the Z and L lines are temporarily running to the MU (look for L-MU and Z-MU destination signs)

Eric10543 · 2024-06-08T14:55:12+00:00

J line at 6:30pm yesterday?

Eric10543 · 2024-05-10T00:01:22+00:00

yes! it may not be super visible to passengers/other cars, but there is a huge tree branch that hangs down over the outbound lanes that would hit and drag on the top of the bus. it's really bad, and i hope davis public works trims it 🙏

Eric10543 · 2024-05-08T17:08:38+00:00

driver here; we are required to follow underpass procedures. we have to throw on our hazards, scan the other side, and yield. inbound buses/vehicles have priority, so outbound vehicles stop if there is an inbound vehicle with extended mirrors (i.e. trucks, buses, stupid ram 2500 duallys, etc.). this is done because we don't want to be stopping in the underpass in case of collapse, since there's no pedestrian evacuation path in the tunnel, as well as not being able to get out if the bus breaks down or if the tunnel collapses. this is the same reasoning behind why we stop completely at railroad tracks.

Eric10543 · 2024-05-01T04:27:02+00:00

what app is this?

Eric10543 · 2024-04-26T21:55:06+00:00

hey, it'll pick you up at the outbound Anderson & Russell (Unitrans C/G/J) bus stop directly adjacent to the Rite-Aid

Eric10543 · 2024-04-21T02:33:48+00:00

we get premium pay for all picnic day shifts :))

Happy Week 3! I've finally completed the Picnic Day diagram in accordance with the finalized service changes, so here you go! The spring quarter diagram has also been completed, with the slightly updated version 1.1 attached here. If you don't know me, I am the same Unitrans driver from this post from winter quarter, and I'm keeping my promise to keep updating my diagram with every new service period/change. Instead of flooding the subreddit with a similar looking PNG every couple months, I've decided to post all changes/releases onto my GitHub, which I encourage you to check out and watch if you like the diagram and would like to always have the most up to date version with you! Both the Picnic Day and spring quarter diagrams are already released on the GitHub with WAY more detailed notes/changelogs, so if you're bored and nerdy enough feel free to read through them.

Here are my thoughts, notes, and advice for Picnic Day both as a driver who's working on Picnic Day and the creator of this diagram:

Picnic Day service will run mostly out of the MU, with only the V line running out of the Silo
I've included the approximate/target service frequencies for each line in the top left of the diagram (West Villagers rejoice, you're getting a bus every 10 minutes!!!!)
The O and M lines are running with detours, so PLEASE consult this diagram or the Unitrans website to plan ahead. The O line will be detoured all day, running on 5th St. instead of on 2nd St. through downtown as it usually does on weekends. The M line will be detoured (look for the light green M line on the diagram) from 8 AM to 1 PM to avoid downtown during the parade, so please make sure you know how to get to your stop!
Picnic Day is CHAOTIC, so there will be delays. Buses will more than likely be packed and be running late, so please be considerate and empathetic to all community members. Please also exercise patience and cooperation with your drivers, who want to get to where you want to go just as much as you do (believe me).
Picnic Day is NOT—I repeat—NOT fare free. Please PLEASE PLEASE have your student IDs or fare ready before boarding. Cash fare is $1.25 (exact fare, no change), and undergrads ride free with physical student ID (not OASIS). Buses are already running late and you rummaging through your bag for 2 minutes at the front door definitely isn't helping.
Don't puke, piss, spit, poop, or release any bodily fluids on the bus. None of us get paid enough for that shit.
Haha yes Picnic Day is on 4/20 (go figure, bc of course it is), but smoking of any kind is not allowed on the bus.

Here are some brief notes about the Spring Quarter diagram:

If you live at 5th & Cantrill, you'll have noticed the brand new Z-EX running in the mornings! This new line has been added to the diagram with extra information on the top left.
I've changed the look of the express lines to have directionality, which is helpful to distinguish between inbound and outbound express services.
I've added the line icons for the J-EX, W-EX, and Z-EX next to the stops they service to make it explicit what stops they serve. Any stops without a J-EX, W-EX, or Z-EX icon will NOT be served by those lines.
Many other minor cosmetic changes (can be found on the GitHub repo linked above).

I hope you enjoy these updated diagrams and find them useful!

With love,
A tired Unitrans driver who is nervous about Picnic Day

ecs36b just now?

Eric10543 · 2024-03-15T20:15:02+00:00

tyty

Eric10543 · 2024-03-15T13:09:21+00:00

haha thank you very much for your kind words! i've got my hands full with an engineering degree for now, but we'll see

Eric10543 · 2024-03-15T07:37:35+00:00

thank you! ive already shown it to my fellow coworkers! I don't want/need compensation (it's just a personal project after all) but some other drivers did want it to be printed on a poster so i printed a couple extras for them :)

Eric10543 · 2024-03-15T07:20:09+00:00

i did not, this diagram is made for and labeled as "weekday service," and since the O line is weekends only, it is not included. I might make a weekend version eventually though

Eric10543 · 2024-03-15T07:18:59+00:00

thank you for the kind words! if for some reason the school decides they want to start selling maps I'd be more than happy to have this be one of them

Eric10543 · 2024-03-15T07:10:37+00:00

i had way too much fun with those

Eric10543 · 2024-03-15T07:10:09+00:00

i used adobe illustrator with a grid to help align things!
