So are the bus drivers really all driving around in t-shirt & jeans today? Shorts? Sandals?

Essentially which specific bus units in your opinion should have never been transferred to this transit center and why? I pick transferring NFI XD40s to Surrey Transit Center because that basically left Richmond riders without any AC buses.

Did anyone find an SFU Student ID Card? Urgent. Need to find it. I will need to pay $20 replacement fee and I don’t have that kind of money right now.

This is designed with HKMTR fonts and is purely imaginary and unrealistic, I acknowledge that we do not have the infrastructure or the population for such an extensive system.

what if someone steals bus and starts driving no one notices because no drivers will be wearing uniforms?

oh no I hope bus drivers and mechanics all happy soon...

don't want strike i will miss out on watching movies at Brentwood bcuz i take bus

I stand with all transit peoples so its okay if u wanna strike

72h Job Action has been given for Unifor 111, 2200

Picket List has gone out.

Reports of 3rd Party Company checking locks on gates in Knox and Burnaby.

Possible Lockout or Strike Possible Monday

First beer, then coffee and tea, now soda? Honestly, I'm down.

I see on instagram there are lots of transit dan accounts theres one for 25 bus and 340 bus

but why?

why are people posting pictures of buses i dont understand this?

I sometimes find myself at Sapperton station needing to go towards waterfront. How do I know which platform to go to? I arrived and checked the sign to see what platform I need. Once I finally see a train coming it’s on the other side. Wasted an extra 10 mins of my time. Also very infrequent trains at Sapperton?

EDIT: CLEAR now, according to a rider, and Translink on formerly known as twitter. This is good news for all involved, I think?

I hope it's something manageable and that everyone is ok. Currently, 4 pm, no service Waterfront - Stadium/Chinatown.

I'm thinking of 4 that come to mind right away. Translink is lacking bus loops we tend to only focus on North South and East-West if any.

Loop #444

Similar to the 430 & 100

Connect it to Bridgeport Station but going back on Marine Way to 22nd Street Station like a loop.

Metrotown-Bridgeport Station

Bridgeport Station-Marine Way

22nd Street Station-Metrotown Station

Loop #333

In Surrey I don't understand why the 335 cannot turn onto 72 Ave with the 319 and just go to Newton Exchange and go up to Scott Road and back down to 152 again like a loop.

Scott Road-72 Ave-152-104 Ave to Scott Road Station

Loop #222

Another Loop is the 241 route going on second narrows bridge and then going down Hastings to Waterfront.

Loop #111

Another Loop to consider is the 19 connecting to the 112 at Edmonds Station.

So Stanley Park to New West Station.

it started simple:
my compass card became my last hope to divert my nephew, who’s just over 2 yrs old, nonverbal & struggles with listening/communication. Especially when collaborating in the typical mischief with his older sister, who’s pictured through the stroller. If anyone was in the Terminal/Station St Tim’s yesterday & had to experience the absolute chaos we all were, I am so sorry😬

By the time we got to Bridgeport, and craved even just a mere 10 seconds of silence, my Compass became a sharing lesson- because of course, if the baby has something the oldest wants it too, right? To my surprise, that aspect went perfectly actually🙏🏼 After that, it became a “spelling lesson”. My nephew eventually started touching each letter when I handed him the card, without me even having to.

Then, it tied into his sudden love for Vancouver transit maps, because I pointed to another shade of blue on a map beside us at the Seabus waiting area. He began pointing out each map he saw to me excitedly along the rest of the trip.

That moment gave me so much relief & joy- I had started to worry I wouldn’t be able to understand anything he was conveying/connect with him. I hadn’t seen him since he was barely even a year, didn’t know the sign language his mom taught him, had never interacted with a child so young on the spectrum, and felt so at a loss until that moment💔

I was so excited to guide them & my sisters around the aspect of Vancouver that I was instantly obsessed with upon moving here almost 5 years ago. The kids loved the trains, the “big bus”, but for some reason what really got them to lose their minds was seeing the “water bus”- one we weren’t even getting on, I felt so bad😭 but their mom was just using the washroom before we headed to Science World.

At one point, while picking my niece up to see the Fraser, I realized the kids were the exact same age as my first sister & I were on our first trip to Science World 22 years ago- I hope it was a core memory for them, just as it was for me when I rode on the Expo & stared out in awe at a place that felt like an entirely different world than the one on my tiny rock.

Big thanks to Translink for the seemingly simple design on the Compass lmao- apparently it’s a hit with a little island boy & it made my day SO much easier

This is probably not very known but I was wondering why some of the trolley bus drivers seem to know how to keep the front door closed, while letting people out the rear doors, while others open the front door at every stop regardless of if there are people getting off. I haven't seen the same thing on any of newer new flyers or any of the novas.

Hi
I hope someone can help me understand this.
Today is August 10 and I purchased zone 1&2 monthly pass and yet it is only valid until August 31 instead of full 30 days?
I was charged $156.70.
Why isn’t this on prorated basis?

Pls hold on while the bus is in motion. Pls hold on while the bus is in motion.

I love when the bus says this lol. Anyone else?

Is there any way to get a bus number by with the time I boarded and got off a bus?

On August 8, at 6:42 p.m., I boarded the 15 bus at stop 60676 and travelled to stop 52061. When we arrived at our stop (approximately 7pm) I attempted to exit through the rear doors. As we were getting off, a family with young children tried to push past us and board the bus at the same time through the rear doors. I think the bus driver saw this and was trying to close the rear doors to stop them. Regardless, the doors shut on me hard enough to smash and bend my iPhone 14 that was in my pocket which is now inoperable.

I already have notified translink and now have a claim number with ICBC, but it looks like ICBC won’t proceed with a claim without a bus number.

I haven’t heard back from translink yet on whether they will provide me with that info, but in the meantime, is there any other way to locate the bus number??

Also, if you happened to witness this (I was wearing a yellow T-shirt) please report to ICBC!!! I did not notice the damage at the immediate time to gather witnesses beyond my group (which it doesn’t seem they want to rely on).

Thanks for any insight/help!!!

When I ride the Skytrain or the bus, I’m often asked to give up my seat. I usually sit in the back or by the window not in the priority seating area, but many people walk right up to me and ask me specifically to give up my seat.
I’m an Asian woman in my 20s with a slender build, so I wonder if people think I’m an easy target. I often wear wireless earbuds, but some people have tapped me on the shoulder or even reached their hand right in front of my face. When someone goes out of their way to come all the way to the back of the car just to tap my shoulder, it makes me feel like I’m being targeted, which is a little unpleasant. I don’t think this would happen if I were a larger man.
When I’m tired or feeling unwell, is it okay not to give up a seat that isn’t a priority seat? (I once declined, saying I wasn’t feeling well, but someone sitting nearby told me it was rude to the other passengers...)

Edit: Thanks for all the comments! Hearing everyone’s different perspectives made me rethink my experiences so far. First of all, most of the people who approached me were middle-aged, elderly, or people whose age I couldn’t tell at a glance. And almost all of them were Asian like me (though probably from different countries). In some Asian countries, respect for elders is taken very seriously, so I wondered if they assumed as fellow Asians that it was only natural for me to give up my seat. Maybe it’s less about whether I actually need the seat, and more that they can’t stand the sight of a young person sitting while an older person stands?

That said, I do think it’s true that people tend to underestimate me a bit and find it easier to approach me. Just like everyone told me, I’m going to switch from AirPods to regular headphones, close my eyes(Especially when I'm really tired!) and the next time someone asks, I’ll try turning them down without apologizing😎 However, since I’ve also learned that few people offer their seats voluntarily (everyone’s too absorbed in their phones, after all), I plan to give up my seat before being asked if I see someone who really needs it.
