I almost didn't believe it (up to now), but it's true! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3852#post-40340 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 21:29:24 +0000 kaputnik 40340@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They'll have to subsidise Wirstbus to scrap their entire fleet then... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3852#post-40336 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 20:52:20 +0000 chdot 40336@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> TransformScot: </p> <p>Scottish Government should make every bus in Scotland a low-emission bus: <a href="http://t.co/W8UnzKf" rel="nofollow">http://t.co/W8UnzKf</a> #fb </p> <p>Original Tweet: <a href="http://twitter.com/TransformScot/status/111452772301418497" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/TransformScot/status/111452772301418497</a> </p> <p>" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3852#post-40335 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 20:49:51 +0000 chdot 40335@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>GrantStott973: </p> <p>Today those fine peeps @on_lothianbuses launched an Eco-friendly fleet of buses.

I found a mobile app for checking the location of busses compared to a bus stop. It needs the bus stop code but:</p> <p><a href="http://www.mybustracker.co.uk/?module=mobile" rel="nofollow">http://www.mybustracker.co.uk/?module=mobile</a></p> <p>DaveC </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3852#post-40297 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:16:38 +0000 Stepdoh 40297@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My dad used to work for Strathclyde buses and HATED the floro dot matrix ones, said all the dots used to get dislodged and fall out from the potholes.</p> <p>The new ones are fairly good (white for a start) but the sub destination text looks a bit weedy, and the numbers have a weird kerning/stretch issue. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3852#post-40294 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 12:47:18 +0000 kaputnik 40294@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Odd that Lothian have gone for digital destination boards - they've tried various fluoro-dot matrix / LED-based systems over the years with varying (and seemingly limited) degrees of success and always kept going back to illuminted destination blinds, even retrofitting them into older vehicles. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3852#post-40292 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 12:35:13 +0000 Stepdoh 40292@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The one thing I'm not too keen on are the front digital destination boards, I know they are a lot more flexible for a resell point of view, but theyre still not as clear as the blinds. Side and rear is fine as is the current way, but they seem to be going that way on the front. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3852#post-40291 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 12:29:19 +0000 Stepdoh 40291@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>New Bus Details here: <a href="http://www.forthone.com/news/local/lothian-buses-goes-green/#.TmdQy84M210.twitter" rel="nofollow">http://www.forthone.com/news/local/lothian-buses-goes-green/#.TmdQy84M210.twitter</a></p> <p>The free wifi is an interesting development. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3852#post-40289 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 12:22:18 +0000 chdot 40289@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Possibly to make up for the trams nevereverever coming"</p> <p>Would be interesting to know how much of LB planning is on the basis of 'no tram'. </p> <p>Certainly can't be looking forward to being made to subsidise it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3852#post-40287 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 12:15:06 +0000 Stepdoh 40287@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>And we're getting shiny new hybrid buses on the number 10 route too...
