Sorry,… Not in service

One thing I’ve noticed since moving back north is that even the buses say “sorry”.

sorry_bus_02
Is TransLink the only transit system in Canada that does it?

    My favourite is the Sorry/Not In Service/Express.

  • Jackie

    No, they do it in Whistler too!

  • adam cassidy

    they should expand it to say ” Sorry, I’m going that way, but you can’t come”.

  • Jamie

    And Edmonton… maybe Calgary too.

  • http://www.patbolduc.com Pat Bolduc

    Timmins Ontario does this too!

  • AWong

    The worst is when you think its your bus coming. I for one, have to play frogger across the damn street, just to have it come close enough so “Sorry, not in service.” is legible.

  • adam cassidy

    yeah….like, what’s the deal ? You’re going that way, why not make a few bucks by bringing our broke asses with you ?

  • Kristin

    The buses in Ottawa say it too, in English and in French

  • http://staydecent.ca adrian

    I think the busses in Victoria are even more polite. hmmm..

  • mat

    montreal too. french only.
