In this volume we return to an old haunt in Maple Ridge - Haney Place. Much more interesting than last time due to the new RapidBus route from Coquitlam, more varied buses on the 701 and 791, and the one mid-afternoon 701 run to Mission City!
Next comes Marine Drive Station, with the trolleybuses making their usual appearance alongside some new experimental battery-electric buses on the route 100, as well as some old D40LFs on training runs!
After this, we head over to Carvolth Exchange to see the new Double Decker buses allocated to Richmond for the 555; alongside new XN40s from Surrey; the Fraser Valley Express Novas operated by BC Transit; and the route 388 with conventional buses from Hamilton.
Following this, a new location for this series is the recently rebuilt exchange at Joyce-Collingwood SkyTrain station in Vancouver! Lots of variety here.
Lastly, we finish off at Bridgeport Station with new Double Decker buses alongside Suburban Novas and Orions and articulated buses, too. Novas in Richmond? Five years ago, this would have been thought impossible by many. Sadly, the D60LFs and most of the D40LFs are all gone.
Filmed in February and March 2021.
