What piece of first-rate equipment d...Shadowrider,<br /><br />What piece of first-rate equipment don't you want at Victoria? :)<br /><br />First of all, the 1800s weren't intended for the MAX. They were originally purchased for the Navy base tours: Norfolk and Oceana. When the FTA reged them out, HRT had to find something to do with them. Eventually they became the backup MAX equipment.<br /><br />As for the 900s, I'll trade you the 500s we were sent from Victoria bus for bus for the 900s back.<br /><br />As HRT has reviewed it's fleet, it realizes it has too many 40 footers and not enough 30 and 35 footers. Expect to see more smaller buses ordered.<br /><br />BTW, I love the 1900s. We haven't seen them on the Southside since the 61 was axed. I've even changed routings on the Peninsula before simply so I could ride a 1900.Avenging Archangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545437449084289016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-88402256296551279742010-05-30T08:09:32.900-04:002010-05-30T08:09:32.900-04:00I think that the 4 40-footers would go to the Vict...I think that the 4 40-footers would go to the Victoria Base since our only 40-footers are the 500s, 1900s and 2029-2039. It's fairly obvious that we need more 40-ft buses because recently the 1800s, meant for Express routes, have been used on the 101, 105, 109, 111, 112, 114, 117 and 120, and one of the 900s from Norfolk was used on the 64 a couple of months ago.shadowrider257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-86430090037199557132010-05-28T19:49:59.884-04:002010-05-28T19:49:59.884-04:00Anon 5:58,

...Anon 5:58,<br /><br />Hopefully we'll find out June 9.<br /><br />Anon 4:31,<br /><br />That's not how the fare review has been conducted. It was simply looking at agency fiscal viability. In fact, the original figures looked at were $1.65 and $1.75. $2 didn't come into play until April, when it was found that $1.75 only put things off two years.Avenging Archangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545437449084289016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-37459377429888096832010-05-28T17:58:56.983-04:002010-05-28T17:58:56.983-04:00"On June 9 the TDCHR's Executive Committe..."On June 9 the TDCHR's Executive Committee will meet to nominate candidates to serve as TDCHR Chairman and Vice Chairman for FY 2011."<br /><br />Who will be chair now that Wright is gone?

(Want to get rid of those 500 series Phantoms?)<br /><br />3. More shelters and benches.<br /><br />In addition, it would qualify HRT for more Federal and state aid in FY 2013, so service could be boosted again.Avenging Archangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545437449084289016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585082172073893790.post-66042375106893496582010-05-27T20:12:05.559-04:002010-05-27T20:12:05.559-04:00I would gladly pay $2 to ride the bus if it meant ...I would gladly pay $2 to ride the bus if it meant Nights & Sunday service on all routesAnonymous Cowardnoreply@blogger.com
