    Do you know if they have worked out the bugs in them yet? They are supposed to lend some to Edmonton Transit so we can test them out here, but Translink won’t send them until they have them working properly!

    They appear to have overcome the stalling in the dead spots issue and the lock up of the power assisted steering. They are back on the road as you can see in quite large numbers now, and from casual observation of the new Marpole yard appear to have quite a turn of speed under battery power.

    I imagine you will have to wait until UBC classes and exams end for the summer before they can afford to let them go. But maybe someone on Vancouver Transit knows more than I do.

    It’s good to know they have them running now! I had the impression that we would have them for about a year, in order to try them out in all conditions, but I’m often wrong on such things! I don’t seem to get the memos!!
