For the first time in weeks (not to say months) I’ve seen one of the new Vancouver trolley buses (they are New Flyer E40LFR) in service this morning. Interestingly, it was running on route #8. This was the first time I saw one of them on the Fraser run, ever.

Could that mean that the “minor” power steering problem is on the verge of finally being solved, after almost two months? I sure hope so.

For now, though, Translink is still saying:

Due to a minor power steering problem with some Vancouver trolley buses, the following routes will potentially experience service disruptions (as well as loss of accessibility until further notice).

During the morning rush hour: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 20, 22, 25, 32, 41, 43, 49, 84.

During the afternoon rush hour 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 17, 20, 22, 25, 32, 41, 43, 49.
