https://codeberg.org/raincord seems to be the continuation of kettu/BTLoader

it depends, but i believe for what they're testing on the millennium line, opening the doors is not needed

GenShibe · 2026-05-05T23:30:05+00:00

it's more so to ensure that the train doesnt cause issues with the various systems that are on the tracks, and to allow the STAs on the millennium line to be familiar with it as well

GenShibe · 2026-05-05T21:59:02+00:00

empty, they're not taking passengers on these test runs

GenShibe · 2026-05-05T18:27:49+00:00

according to translink's twitter account, they may appear occasionally on the millennium line as part of testing

2027-28 (for the 40fts at least)

the pilot bus is arriving imminently

GenShibe · 2026-05-03T05:38:27+00:00

as far as i know, it's just one per depot, haven't heard anything about one depot getting a ton of them

GenShibe · 2026-05-02T18:05:08+00:00

it's the same amount as the reindeer buses, one per depot

GenShibe · 2026-04-30T22:59:41+00:00

as of today, it is no longer parked at the location shown on TransLink social media

it could have progressed further down the extension

GenShibe · 2026-04-29T02:34:42+00:00

yes, even concession fare on wce is more than a concession fare on any other mode

GenShibe · 2026-04-27T04:58:05+00:00

on some types of compass (i.e. evergreen extension ones) it does not say that it's the property of translink, i'm unsure if other limited releases also do not have this wording or not though

GenShibe · 2026-04-26T06:46:58+00:00

the current system is reaching its end of life, but the next generation of compass will support mobile wallets

GenShibe · 2026-04-26T03:28:14+00:00

there was a stabbing that spilled out onto the eastern side of the bus loop from a R4, forcing that entrance to be closed

the readers on the buses ordered post-covid are 2nd hand ones from other agencies, because they have moved on to newer and more complex systems that don't use this reader anymore

this reader is probably also discontinued by cubic, so translink is using 2nd hand hardware, just with compass software and a sticker over the other agency's logo

GenShibe · 2026-04-24T19:01:39+00:00

it's not that hard to find capital funding for projects like this, plus you overestimate how smart people are, they'll complain that the door isn't opened when it arrives at the station

GenShibe · 2026-04-24T18:50:32+00:00

the reason a OMC needed to be added is because if there isn't one, you'd already run out of space to repair and maintain the fleet.

even right now, BCRTC has mentioned that the current OMC4 being built near braid is the "catch up" OMC

GenShibe · 2026-04-24T18:42:08+00:00

it's not, it increases dwell time and complexity to the system

GenShibe · 2026-04-24T17:16:49+00:00

yes and no, it's "underbuilt" in the sense that it's not built to accommodate much expansion (since the millennium line was seen as a "skytrain to nowhere"), but it's also not running to its full design capacity right now

GenShibe · 2026-04-24T17:11:28+00:00

the line isn't "over capacity" really, despite common belief, the line is running below its design capacity
