DOUBLE DECKER BUSSES

TRANSLINK has brought in new double decker busses to run on our highways between BRIDGEPORT STATION and the TSAWWASSEN FERRY TERMINAL and from NEWTON EXCHANGE in SURREY to BRIGHOUSE STATION in RICHMOND. they were brought in to service in late nov 2019 but in the first week of DEC 2019 i got to ride a double decker bus from NEWTON EXCHANGE to BRIGHOUSE STATION wich took over hour to get to. it was neet to go on a double decker bus going down the nordel hill and onto the ALEX FRASER BRIDGE and onto the highway 91 into RICHMOND  the bus was fraily crowed but you expect that since it was coming from surrey and contecting to the canada line in RICHMOND. then on DEC 14 2019 i rode onther double decker bus from BRIDGEPORT STATION to the TSAWWASSEN MILLS MALL wich only took half hour and it was interesting seening it go into the MASSEY TUNNEL wich was a bit scary but it was fun to see . i try to get one back but it was full so i got a bus at TSAWWASSEN MILLS and went to the tsawwassen ferry terminal and got one there leaving at 2.05pm that bus was not full at all since there was no ferry coming and it was great to see it go down the tsawwassen causeway and back into delta and onto the massey tunnel wich i find verry neet to see it from that end of the tunnel. the ride only took half hour to BRIDGEPORT STATION and was the last trip of the day for that bus the other double decker would do the run the rest of that day wich i saw on the web site TCOMM.BUSTRAINFERRY.COM and put in the bus number 19404 wich is the bus i was on from the TSAWWASSEN FERRY to BRIDGEPORT STATION . a transit driver told me there be more of these double decker busses on our roads in the lower mainland by JAN 2020 wich were built for our highways here in the lower mainland TRANSLINK ordered 32 of these busses and it going to be great travling on them here in the LOWER MAINLAND like they do in GREATER VICTORIA wich has them in there transit system wich i have been on them many times in the years going to VICTORIA
