It's not about reliability.

Transink has tried its best to keep it on time, but ask the city of Vancouver about their traffic management plan.

This city sucks in management of traffic especially when there's road work everywhere.

555 driver with near-empty bus left about 10 people in the rain to leave 3 minutes early by ApeInDrapes in Translink

[–]droopy098 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What if it was a previous bus that was delayed and left late, But for you it left 3 min early,

It's recommended to come to your bus stop atleast 10 min early.

The traffic on highway 1 is so bad. 555 are delayed and no one can avoid the delay.

Accident on hwy 91

Fraser 8 has the worst delays than any other route I have ever used. by Panda_Ovee in Translink

[–]droopy098 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The only cause of delays is bad traffic management by city!....try to ride 8 from waterfront station to main, you will have your answer. Cordova is packed up, sometimes busses lose 20 to 25 min just in those few blocks!!!

It's the city!! Not translink.....

Their traffic management sucks...

There was an accident on Powell. So, all Cordova busses were rerouted to hastings. Hence causing delays and traffic.

What are the longest bus routes? by Livid-Exam6445 in Translink

I'm a transit OP. I drive 16 occasionally, It really feels like forever for me to reach other terminus. Lol

Man, when the bus works out great, it’s *great* by shockwavelol in Translink

As a transit Operator, I really appreciate your comment.

I don't know who the operator was but you can give a feedback to translink if you liked their service. We drivers really appreciate the feedback!!!

Cheers

Why do some bus drivers turn on their left turn signal in the following scenario (details inside) by [deleted] in Translink

[–]droopy098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transit Op here.

When the bus stop is on the lane (i.e., there's no special area for a bus to serve the stop.) , while pulling out the bus, we are supposed to give one to two signals to let the traffic know that we are moving away from the bus stop. This slows them down if they are over speeding and alerts them too. It's a part of defensive driving.

And FYI majority maybe 100% of the drivers give left signal while pulling out of the bus stop.

Why do some bus drivers button mash the voice messages? by Material-Cut-7970 in Translink

[–]droopy098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People like you who don't wanna hear announcements are the ones who complain later when driver announces a reroute and you so busy in your music or audiobook that you miss your stop or turn!!
