@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel I know, I still wonder why they changed it lol… the routing hasnt changed since 2016 so idk lol

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel yeah the one with the 87 and 76 getting cancelled and the 126 being introduced, it was a community post on your channel lol

oh right! tysm

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel OH LOL I DIDNT REALIZE, I have the 5A EB, 52 SB, 57 SB and 4A old SB externals ready

Good

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel i havent fanned ttc is years lol

I’ll def try in the coming months tho

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel Oh whoops i thought i told you, so basically www.naturalreaders.com/online/ go here, and click the face at the bottom of the screen and scroll down to laura, most of the externals don’t sound necessarily real, but I’ve tried the 505, 104, 14A, and 18 sb, and those ones sound pretty close

ok tysm

oh wait i have to download the app nvm

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel you do?

thats what it says tho

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel LOL THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME, SOMETIMES THEYLL WAVE TOO

AINT NO WAY BT DOESN'T CARE

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel theyre always either like “remember that you must be there 5 minutes early!🤓👆” or “if the bus driver deems it full, they are not required to stop!” But the thing is its up to the driver to decide

wdym Be there 5 mins early

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel like look at the schedule and eg, if the bus is scheduled for 3:25pm or something, they want you to get there for 3:20pm or earlier

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel i liked 0924’s external better than that of 0922 idk why

14: Route 14 TOORbram NB to Countryside. 14A: Route 14A TOREbrum NB to Countryside. BTW 14A says it correctly

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel Idk but the bus says it the same was as the 14, and so does miway… and idk but i heard its named for TORonto + BRAMpton, hence Torbram

I remember I was on a ride vid for 42 Derry it said, "Torebrum Road"

wdym the routing will change?

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel usually their september service improvements are their biggest of the year, and I know a big part of that is grid-ifying most of their existing network, for that to happen, technically the 14/14A would need to be extended to mayfield

ohh

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel 1286 for me

not bad for 1286!

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel the regular 505 as well! The 561 at Mp GO, 501 at Queen/Airport, 502 at Bovaird/Main, future 504 at Bovaird/Chinguacousy, 511+ at Airport/Steeles!

Oh yea

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel good luck! The biggest thing is timing the downtown routes correctly, eg. the 52 has a crippling frequency of 45/50 mins all day/evening, the 25 and 561 are rush only… and routes like the 1/1A, 2, 24 have pretty trash frequencies

Mount Pleasant as well, the 55 runs every 55 mins, the 9 has an irregular schedule but it says every 30 mins, the 28 is rush only… and lets not get started about mount pleasant village (the north side)

I'm going for rush hour since it anways takes 1 hour to get to Downtown. If I leave at 3pm then I'd come back at 7 or 8pm lol

I gotta mabye go to Queen and 50 for 41 Bolton (wth is that bus's schedule its rush and every 2 hours like is the fleet too small or smth)

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel id expect improvements to the schedule by this september but idk yet

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel newer Luminator spectrum signs im pretty sure can change colours, idk tho

Oh they do? Didn't know

I got it on 0926, I just saw 0614 doing the 4 that day and since it’s a clark bus i got it’s pic instead

Speaking of 09s some of the louder externals are 09s, 0920 was the 7, 0922 was the original 27 one, 0923 was the 26 nb, 0924 was both the new 27s, and 0926 was the 4A sb

Smart!

W lucky buses

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel I mean, it’s harder to find the 09s! But it’s not impossible, infact 0924 is on the 15 rn, and 0920 is on the 8!

That’s the reason they changed it, it was too fast and people said they couldn’t understand it lol

Fast! Bro the 18 Dixie NB is like 3 seconds

plus whats the point in repeating route 4 when it can just say Route 4 Chinguacousy to make more sense

It’s the only one that does it too, it’s so funny, and the 18 NB announcement was made in august of last year

yea! Just found out it was extended to Mayfield on March Break since in 2023 July - August I took 18 for the first time and it used to go to Inspire Blvd ( have an external of it but u gotta scroll alot so imma reupload it in shorts)

I actually think the 511D would be best suited to serve Lisgar - Bramalea GO because west of gateway terminal, the frequency goes down hill really quick on Steeles West, for East of Gateway, I feel the main thing they need to do is increase service on all the branches tbh. As for the 511B, I’ve always wondered the same thing

Well Ur idea is also reasonable too for 511D. But 511B is a mystery

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel LOL I’ve given up on getting the 1/1A, there’s so many variations of their announcements… theres one for the trips that end at bramalea terminal eb/wb, the ones that end at downtown terminal eb/wb (1/1a), plus the via flower city cc announcements eb and wb

i rlly dc about FCCC cuz wth is the point

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel Atp real it operates so randomly with 8 trips aday in both directions

I guess watching a lot of different people making external announcements including you, and knowing that there’s definitely several of them that I can contribute lol

Knew it!

I think you’re probably right with the externals coming from the bottom, and for the 1, I’m sure you’ll get it! Service was increased during Saturdays and Sundays so it’s now a bit easier!

Hopefully i will get it! I also do aim for 1 E/WB and 1A E/WB and 561 WB to complete brampton

Both are discontinued now, but the 501A used to be the main branch, operating every 5 minutes or less to york u, the 501C was to supplement, with 10 minute service from the bramalea terminal to york u, and the 501, originally servicing york u, and later only vmc, was to supplement Viva Orange operated every 15 minutes or less. Both the 501A and 501 operated every day, until covid caused the 501A to get cancelled and never return till service

501A is reliable service plus nobody cares if its too crowded like 511. Also a 511D is needed to provide service from Bramalea GO to Humber College cuz Bramalea GO is too Crowded for 511

Yeah, I believe though that what Steeles needs are HOV or bus lanes, because currently in the midst of rush hour, the 511 takes about 90-110 minutes to complete from end to end on a good day. Outside of that, it’s an average of 65-80 mins. the current frequency basically all day is 7.5 mins, that split amongst all the branches causes for a BUCKETLOAD of buses wasted due to being stuck in traffic, so i’d love to see bus lanes between Chinguacousy Rd and at Least Finch

The 501 is also a lot less reliable than the 511 tbh, because the traffic on Hwy 7 without the rapidway is dreadful. Right now even theres like 5 buses at VMC seeing delays of up to 45 mins and rush hour just started lol, not to mention the short turning and missing buses

The 501 also sees upwards of 30,000 ppl daily

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel the main problem with mayfield is most of mayfield is has no sidewalk, is one lane and is still, for the most part rural, besides steeles avenue though, Mayfield is definitely the second longest road here, buses would be so delayed due to traffic, collisions, etc.

As for sandalwood, it’s in brampton’s plan for 2040, to add a Züm route along Sandalwood, because that corridor is also becoming super busy daily, in both directions, the main problem with sandalwood is the length and the windyness of the route, because from Mount Pleasant to Highway 50/Queen St, can take upwards of 90-110 minutes, due to the ebuses, heavy traffic on sandalwood, the trinity common access roads, bovaird, heart lake, castlemore, cottrelle, and hwy 50, as well as the amount of passengers the route can see on any given day. The route is another route that needs to see some frequency increases before an express/züm route… currently it’s 15 peak, 30/34 off-peak and evenings, and 28/30 on weekends

True! Eh, Züm route on sandalwood is better than a express route. Also if 115 185 and 199 are the only express routes, then just make them Züm routes as 104 soon gonna become 504 and that will be 6 Züm routes and 3 express routes

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel Yeah, I think kennedy, torbram and airport rd north are better contenders tbh

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel and also, Bramalea is getting it’s Züm in 2027! Meaning the 115 is getting replaced by the 515

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel I’m pretty sure it was for future development and to encourage it as well, it partially backfired because of their bus shortage, but ridership has grown significantly on the Queen West corridor, but there isn’t enough buses being added to both the 1/1A or 561 to meet that demand anymore

true point

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel Yeah lol i forgot i never did

Nah bro u gotta count me in too (got every external from Brampton Gateway except 199 UTM Express which is suspended until Sep 3)

Nova

They have the tendency to do that, especially off peak, idk why

I see 4 501s

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel the 501s love bunching, I guess it’s the major traffic on queen/hwy 7, plus the 5/10 minute frequency

looks like 501 and 502 are twins

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel lowkey they kinda are in every way lol, they have the most service overall of any Züm routes

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel nice! What bus?

the thumbnail is 0907 but got it from 2208

also got 4 NB, 511C WB, 57 NB, 8 EB, 103N and 103S to help cover for the brampton transit bundle 4

do got a vid of the stream near me today im gonna consider uploading it

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel Brampton Transit was badly hit tbh, lot’s of runs were cancelled, with many buses pulled off lower ridership/routes that can do without one bus, and put on routes like the 1/1A, 3/3A, 4/4A, 5/5A, 6, 7/7A, 11/11A, 14/14A, 15/15A, 18, 23, 29/29A, 30 and 50/50A, because of both the flooding, a surge in ridership frequent bus breakdowns associated with the rain and overall delays (some routes seeing 60-90 min delays). Many clark buses were covering the 4/4A/104… like 0620 and 0618…

Also, the flooding caused major delays especially on the long and heavily used routes, ESPECIALLY THE 501, 502 and 511, some buses seeing 90 min delays

DANG! Miway honestly didn't care alot but did see that 103 was running like about 5 buses

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel yeah vodden, the industrial routes (10, 20), 24/25, 28/81, 31, 32/33, 35, 53/57, and 55, and weirdly even Torbram suffered missing buses for part or most of the day

True!

Well for a starting this many subs is good

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel the thing with derry and airport is that you will only be getting the 505A from there…

And it’s relatively busy, but most passengers are for the TTC 52B, MiWay 7, or BT 14/14A, 115

WAIT TTC 52B?! EVEN BETTER

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel Yeah, the 52B goes to Westwood, on weekdays, whereas the 52D goes to Morning Star and Airport only (McNaughton av)

yea ik the 52B (Lawrence or Eglinton - Westwood) but should ride it or get the both 52s (one to Lawrence and one to Eglinton)

@@transitcitytoronto ik! I already use voice memos, this one’s speaker was kinda faulty… haven’t had any luck with any of the 561 speakers since though (i filmed this in march)… The regular Züm bus speakers kinda suck, and I haven’t seen conventionals on the 561 in a while

For sure though, this one will be redone in september-october at the latest

@@ThePeelRegionTransitChannel yeah! 1074 was made in 2010, and luminator has def improved greatly (especially their spectrum). 1073 used to have luminator spectrum too!
