Sep 05, 2010 at 7:38 pmAnyone know if we're getting the mid size bus from China this year? Route 12 seems to have 4 AM trip not run by the Ford Van in the coming service changes. Too bad I won't wake up early enough to catch one at Garnet...
I was thinking...if they opened up the fire access lane at Phyllis St. Route 13 can actually accommodate Ten Mile Point area without significant sacrifice to the Arbutus Estate area.

I believe previously the 15 was in a testing phrase and now it's being permanently implemented.
