Due to the high/record temperatures in Denver, it seems like a good time to circulate this slide from my
Edmonton Transit file. The jet in the photo is possibly arriving from someplace like Yellowknife, Fort McMurray, someplace where it gets colder. Picture & Text by Robert R. |

This flag is an antique which is likely to be replaced by a new RTL flag. Prior to the amalgamation that created the
new City of Longueuil, St-Bruno-de-Montarville was a separate municipality that had its own transit service, operating similar to a CIT. The St-Bruno transit service is slowly being integrated
with the rest of the RTL, but there are still differences such as different zone fares. Both the STM and RTL used to use round signs like this, but have changed to rectangular signs. This stop is
located on Boul. Seigneurial, adjacent to a park&ride lot for express buses which is also the former site of the St-Bruno commuter train station. The train station was moved about 2 km west
to provide easy park&ride access from Autoroute 30. |

Hamilton Street Railway - Hamilton, Ontario |
|
|
 |
 |
|
Photo 1 is a typical HSR bus shelter used on busy routes. There is a small seat and an advertising panel and
usually a system map. The 2 yellow posts protect the shelter from snow ploughs in the neighbouring parking lot. Location at Barton Street & Lake Avenue. Picture & Text by M Taylor.
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
Photo 2 is the HSR sign strapped to a concrete utility pole. The phone number is assigned to this stop and
those close and a call to the number will tell you when the next bus will arrive. Barton & Lake. This used to be a trolleybus route until 1990. Picture & Text by M Taylor. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
Photo 3 on Lawrence Avenue is a stop on a less traveled route with just a paved shoulder for the bus to pull into. This is attached to a wooden hydro pole. Electricity in Ontario is
called "hydro" because the original utility was the Ontario Hydro-Electric Commission. Note the different phone number. Lawrence Avenue is also a bike route. Picture & Text by

TTC - Toronto, Ontario |

TTC1 is a streetcar stop post at The Queensway & Windermere Ave. There is 24 hour service on the route,
it is a streetcar stop (the icon is of a PCC, no longer in service) , a safety poster and a POP warning. POP is Proof of Payment and on the Queen Streetcar lines you can enter any door but if you
pay a fare then you need proof. Many riders use passes. Picture & Text by M Taylor. |
|
|
|
TTC2 is the east bound stop showing the layout with just a wind shield because of the narrow platform and the
sand bin for use on snowy days. The line is on a private reservation in the street and this is the only line with that feature. Note transit traffic lights and special left hand turn lights for
motorists. Picture & Text by M Taylor. |
|
|
|
TTC3 is the west bound stop. Picture & Text by M. Taylor. |
|
TTC4 is a combination bus/streetcar stop as can be seen by the dual icons. It is served by the
eastbound Long Branch streetcar line and by the mostly northbound bus which runs to the Royal York Road subway station. The blue are reflective. At one time the stops were lettered "Car Stop" or "Bus Stop" but now rely only on multi-lingual
icons. Pictures & Text by M. Taylor. |

This picture was taken in downtown Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. The location is King St., where the Market Square is.
This is a bus stop panel from the days of Kitchener Transit. However, around 2000, Kitchener Transit and Cambridge Transit, of neighbouring Cambridge, merged into present-day Grand River Transit. Some bus
stops have the bus symbol, like that found on the Pembroke bus stops. Photos taken on July 11, 2006. Picture & text by anonymous. |
