This is better than spending it willy-nilly to meet a deadline. I have been in a government department in a mad rush to buy pencil sharpeners art YE to use up our budget. It was stupid.
Getting more buses isn't an option as they don't have space for them in the current garages even when the new one opens up it still won't mean they can add more buses. Before anyone says it Lessie Streetcar barn is not on the table for storing buses.Getting more buses from another supplier would work.
This doesnt surprise me at all, and the number will continue to increase as long as the TTC keeps the same loading standards in place with more Nova Bus' arriving. As i've said before, there is no way the 40 foot LFS can carry the same amount of people that the outgoing 40 foot Orion VII can carry like the TTC likes to claim.

Perhaps I didnt clarify with my previous statement. The TTC needs to change their loading standards because the one that they are currently using simply does not work with the Nova Bus'. I experienced it again just a few hours ago where a couple Nova Bus' were packed to capacity and bypassed a stop, which normally never occurs when an Orion VII is servicing the route.Your logic doesn't follow. If the Nova Buses don't fit as many people as the old ones, but the TTC keeps the same crowding standards, we would see fewer buses going over the TTC's crowding standards.
Anyways, what's the difference between old and new buses' capacities?
Does the TTC have any “special” bus/streetcar/LRT shelters that include more things to allows riders to be more comfortable while waiting? I know about the regular shelters, shelters with lights, system maps, next bus signs, benches, garbage cans (outside), and bike parking. Are there any with heat lamps, closed shelters, or any other improvements?
I can also see idiots lighting a cigarette off the heat lamps and causing a fire.
I’ve lost hope in humanity if someone actually did this. Is this a problem with other heat lamp areas?

Wonder who is waiting in the wings? Would they come from some transit agency in North America, England, or Australia? What would happen should someone from Spain, Germany, China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, or Thailand are invited get the #2 job, or "worse" the top job? Would they first check to see if the TTC has the resources available, similar or close what their originating countries gave their transit agencies?
They’ll probably not accept, if they saw what the TTC has backing them.
