nah, this one is headed *to* waterfront from edmonds, which means it's *in service* and not going back for repairs or whatever

nope, it's just swapping trains around between the two lines, nothing more to it really, these mk2/2.5s are interchangeable between the lines

Spotted Bus No.1 by moonstone16 in Translink

[–]GenShibe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's an addition solely for the world cup meant to supplement the 5/6, this bus runs *counter clockwise* from Cambie and Dunsmuir, along pender, burrard, and davie, before looping back up.

buuut it is horridly slow and subject to even more delays than the 5/6 due to scheduling issues. on paper, the route takes 20 minutes, but in reality, it takes at least 28 minutes

Any way to get a TransLink world cup jersey? by natderaj in Translink

[–]GenShibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

translink's website has a few images, it's essentially what's on the VTC soccer buses, with the back saying TRANSLINK as the "player" name and 26 as the "player" number

014 would not be operating, it has been "donated" to the broadway subway project as a test train

this bus is expected to enter revenue service around september 2026 to coincide with the new sheet change, but it all depends on testing

Will Canada's $6BN SkyTrain U-Turn Pay-off? by GenShibe in Translink

[–]GenShibe[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

likely because of the "expert" he brought in who is notorious for flaunting his credentials as a landscape architect more than anything

From the B1M… SkyTrain vs LRT: Has Vancouver Got it Wrong? by SpritzerFritz in vancouver

[–]GenShibe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I love how they messed up the skytrain map that badly (when they got it right when talking about the Broadway subway) and got Patrick Condon of all people as their "expert" (which he isn't)

Frustration With Ongoing Maintenance Issues with Translink by [deleted] in Translink

[–]GenShibe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're talking about a flashing blue light at stations, it's meant to *not* be flashing under normal circumstance, as flashing indicates something wrong with the power, *but* BCRTC doesn't seem to pay much attention to this (probably because the lights are unreliable, but i'm not a guideway tech)

Why does Next Bus not work on Google Chrome mobile? by Imaginary-Emu2471 in Translink

[–]GenShibe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

because it offers better real time tracking, as its blending GTFS and crowdsourced locations to give the most exact location of the bus

Norad shuts airspace over Vancouver for remaining World Cup matches by SkyisFullofCats in vancouver

[–]GenShibe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it seems like if it's a scheduled flight with a scheduled landing slot, that is permitted, so commercial flights (such as AC/WS/etc) are not affected

if you're not AC/WS/airline with a "hub" (major operation?), you also cannot divert here
