@OranViri looks like you were going down east hastings...where all the homeless hang out
-
@OranViri yeah but they announce too late sometimes
You're like almost there and then it announces the stop
-
@SilvermanStan It's actually fully automated, the driver signs on to the Communication System at the beginning of their shift, (That little screen above the fare box control panel does a lot more than stop announcements), and their runs are pre-programmed. They have a countdown clock that tells them when to leave an exchange or scheduled stop, and GPS takes it from there. Stop announcements and the text display actually operate independently from each other, but both monitor the same GPS data.

Is the "next stop" for the annunciator panels manually selected by the operator?

Trolley bus on EPU.by JEPhillip1,088 views
I live in Quebec City and here we have a type of articulated bus. By comparison I think this one is superior for some reason. It seems more spacy and the "next stop" feature makes it superior, tough I dunno if the engine-stuff-mechanic is superior, this I couldn't really say...
Oh and this scene was strange... was he bleeding??

@TheMidnightGuy TransLink took some seats out. The seat backs are also thinner. I love the next stop announcements. The engine is pure electric, so it has zero tailpipe emissions, is more silent than diesel engines, smoother acceleration and superior hill climbing ability.

Vancouver's most "colourful" neighbourhood, I see.

Very interesting street scene over there. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

I think it's automatic because EVERY stop is announced. There's a touch screen terminal where the driver sets the route, run, destination, and I guess GPS handles the rest.
