When they changed the bus routes at the start of the month I watched the “35-Express to Trian Station” roll into Lacewood and I snickered at the typo.
After a couple of days of snickering at it, when I saw the “Trian Station Express” roll in again I took a pic and sent it to HRM with a note. They sent me a file no, which is great BUT…
It’s now the 21st, it’s been 3 weeks, and guess what? The “35-Trian Station Express” lives on. WTF is a ‘Trian Station’? How hard is it to fix this?? It makes this city look STUPID. —I just want to get to the Train Station…
This article appears in Sep 16-22, 2010.
I am guessing its becasue the train station in on hollis street when the bus starts.
That’s kind of funny. Send it to the Coast folks – “On Patrol” or whatever they call it. That way everyone can laugh at them together.
VIA Rail Train Station … 1161 Hollis St
I would imagine that why HRM didn’t get back to you!!! Smart!
He’s making fun of how ‘train’ is spelled on the bus, ‘trian’, not about why the bus says it’s going to the train station!
LOL thats funny! You should get a photo and send it to Municipal Malfunctions.
Who are all these new people?
Dear, OP:
You have no life.
-NGF.
I’m quite amazed at the irony of someone spending the time to post “You have no life” on the Bitch board!
NGF just wants to warn us of zombie infestation is all.
Oh gosh, I am the smart one. My bad. Come on fire away…I really am the stupid one. Didn’t realize that’s what he was refearing to. My bad!
Hidding under a rock.
icy95 – EXACTLY, THANK YOU. 🙂

It’s okay because I make more money than you do.
i guess o.p., that is where trians go to sleep.
Bahaha… you were ever so blind that you commented twice, luv2luv, my friend. Perhaps you have undiagnosed dyslexia?
I’m the OP and uh, lovetolove – *facepalm*
i have trouble telling my left from my right…port and starboard me gots no troubles…shiver me titties for those who missed that high holiday
I’m awful with my left/rights too… me thinks my brain just doesn’t compute. Giving directions while passenger, the poor driver has to watch which way I point! he he…
go ahead back up, that’s right turn left
my brain works well while being a wheel man…t’other wise i’m not a good navigator, except on sea vessels
That sign is the wallpaper on my phone, lol. I saw that one the first day they used it and called it in. Obviously I’m not the only one who gives a shit about typos on the signs. People think it’s us who does that, and it isn’t, someone in maintenance writes them.
This would make an awesome “OnPatrol”, but until then, get your friends to spam 490-4000 about it. Yes, I said spam, it has been 3 weeks, they had plenty of time to fix it. While you’re at it OP, can you also ask to do something about “72 DARTMOUTH…………….CROSSING VIA……………WRIGHT AVE”? That should all fit on one front destination sign.
Haha hilarious!
It’s obviously going to the three wheeled “Ans” station. If it were the two wheeled Ans station it would be the Dians station. D’uh.
The city IS stupid… did you really need confirmation of this?
so you ride a dicycle then?
a two wheeled Ans is definitely a bians.
Everyone knows that….
SHIT, I just lost the game.
saw that 72 this morning and wondered since the 61 can fit Auburn North Preston
driver guy is right – call 490-4000 with the errors or else they won’t get fixed.
I did call. It hasn’t helped. 🙁 And I submitted my pics to On Patrol, and I took another picture this morning too. *sigh*
Too funny. I want to see a bus that says “Str8 to Hell.”
I have a feeling you’d be driving that one, ‘tard 😉
I bet you never wrote down the reference number from when you called…I wouldn’t be surprised if it was never actually called in.
The reference number received from contactHRM@halifax.ca, 7 digits starts with 444, was received Sept 3 and is sitting in my inbox.
Trian Station?
You’re right that was a typo.
I think they meant tryin’ station.
As in We’re tryin’ to find a place where the folks can spell.
hahaha.. that is soo Halifax
