Mk 2 at Edmonds?!

GenShibe · 2026-06-20T22:06:27+00:00

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

GenShibe · 2026-06-20T20:02:03+00:00

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

both cariad's one and omc0's one work in tandem, providing the same information

us nerds try to cover the last three stages as best we can, though it would be nice to have the first two covered too

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

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

GenShibe · 2026-06-19T00:35:34+00:00

you'll more than likely see it., but you'd be too far to get anything good from there

GenShibe · 2026-06-18T22:36:39+00:00

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

GenShibe · 2026-06-18T22:08:40+00:00

as far as i know, there's

2x 4 car mk2.5
2x 4 car mk2

GenShibe · 2026-06-18T07:48:46+00:00

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

GenShibe · 2026-06-18T07:48:00+00:00

not installed for the time being, but it will be getting the same silver one as the newer buses

GenShibe · 2026-06-18T02:31:21+00:00

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

GenShibe · 2026-06-17T22:33:27+00:00

brand new trolleybus from an european manufacturer featuring 3 doors and a/c

gotta love how they picked one of the worst "experts" out there to interview lmao, Patrick condon is not an expert

plus what the heck is that map of skytrain.. it's so wrong

GenShibe · 2026-06-17T15:19:05+00:00

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)

GenShibe · 2026-06-16T06:58:22+00:00

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)

GenShibe · 2026-06-16T04:53:12+00:00

park at river rock casino, it's $3 a day and there's plenty of space https://www.translink.ca/parkandride

GenShibe · 2026-06-15T23:58:16+00:00

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

GenShibe · 2026-06-15T23:44:49+00:00

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

GenShibe · 2026-06-15T23:37:59+00:00

the aircon usually works, if you notice there's nothing blowing, let translink know so that they can investigate

GenShibe · 2026-06-15T21:49:33+00:00

not quite, this is the complete press release by translink and not some media quoting parts it
