The first bus got really full so they announced that passengers going express to Niagara could get on the bus in front. A few stops into our trip my sister needed some medical supplies (we didn't know that the driver packed our cart and suitcase in the cargo hold). Her need was urgent so the driver stopped the bus and opened the door - then he couldn't get it closed again!! He had to send for another bus, which took about an hour. Lesson learned: carry medical supplies on your person!!Dotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-47906218944877983472013-09-11T11:45:06.420-04:002013-09-11T11:45:06.420-04:00They are using them on the Bowmanville route becau...They are using them on the Bowmanville route because they are too high to go on the busy routes such as Union Station. They can also be used to carry cattle in the country side due to them being low floor.

Also, please forgive my ignorance, but is there really enough passengers outside of rush hour to warrant these monstrosities? I ask because I was driving home last Tuesday midday and saw one of them in Bowmanville. I would have thought that it would be a waste of resources (aka gas) to power something that may only be 1/4 full. <br /><br />Now, the new Pulse 900 buses are NICE. (Not too) Squishy seats with high backs make for a very comfortable ride. Maybe the two companies should talk and come to some sort of deal to merge the 2 designs?Squigglesnoreply@blogger.com
