Vintage Buses Around Van Today?
 

I was driving today, and there happen to be 2 vintage 1940's transit buses running around, anyone know what was the occasion? Never seen them running before

I saw them today also on west 4th and burrard.
They were both filled with seniors.

from several years back (not my video)

^ yeah, this is similar when Translink system fails and decides to skip 2 buses on me, and then 3 come in a row, and I'm 25 mins late for work.

i noticed 2 of em last night at nanaimo station thoughti was tripping out cuz they looked so oldschool

cool old bus

+1 for trankslink system fail

rocking old school

it was some bus drivers retirement. for 41 years of service. his last day was he gets to rock the old school bus

srs? thats a neat fact to know.

having to put up with weirdos, druggies, punks for 41 years..props

probably has has a nice retirement fund waiting for him

Wow I saw this too exactly where the OP was taking the picture at the same time I was around there.

Or how about you wait around forever, only to have three of the same buses come all in a row? Happens especially with the trolley buses.

Had to take the 007 Nanaimo bus at Hastings yesterday, and it's supposed to come every 12-15 minutes. I sat there for a good half hour, while another lady was there for another 15 minutes before that. How the hell is it that a bus doesn't come for 45 minutes when it's supposed to come every 12-15? Of course, when it came, there another one right behind it... and even more fail is the driver in front didn't even tell the passengers to get on the second bus so that he can catch up to the schedule a bit and space himself out from the second bus... he just let all the people that had been waiting for the last 45 minutes, therefore creating even more of a backlog for the buses behind it.

or when the 98-B line was still in service. I would wait during off-peak hours for a northbound bus, then two busses show up and I'm like :facepalm:. When the bus drivers get here it was obvious both of them were having a coffee and then decided to do a roll out together

what car were u driving? i was in a mk2 jetta. I saw the same bus again that night on 41 and grandville. props to the bus driver for 41 years of dealing with public transit "entertainment"

So strap your bones right to the seat
Come on in and don't be shy
Just to make your day complete
You might get baked into a pie

On THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS!

Don't get me started. I waited 2 hours for the 7 Nainaimo bus on Dunbar St. couple years ago.

well in the winter those buses stop completely, so even if you waited there still did come. :(

i wonder whose retarded idea is that

maybe one of them went forward in time to our time
