They have a contract with Queen's University for shuttle services. They serve Ottawa for the students. Otherwise could be a charter.

What route was that bus on?

I saw a coach canada J4500 at Vic Park and 401 blowing white smoke out the engine compartment, around lunch time.

[Transit 5]

hey there it was doing the kitchener cambridge hamilton run and it was around 1 pm when it pulled in to charles street terminal.

They really must have been short. That would suck to have to ride a LFS when you were expecting a coach.

Would they send out school buses before an LFS?

When I attended the Driver's Orientation they did say that around this time of year it's pretty Busy with Queen's University to an extent that Toronto drivers would have take buses to Kingston and Ottawa.

Probably because of Luggage space or there was no School Bus available at the time. When I was at the Orientation there was only 2 School Buses at the Garage, the rest were on the road!

The DVP this afternoon had lots of Coach Canada Motor Coaches and School Buses going towards the 401 from the south. One of the destinations signs displayed "Shuttle 1"

That transmission is the same as automatic, you just press the gas and go. It's not like there is a clutch or anything.

Most likely a oil leak or something.

[Bus_Medic]

Yes there is a clutch. Controlled by a computer.

The scenario is so vague, how can anyone hope to diagnose it sight unseen?

C'mon guys, really?
