Images
I currently have several images, and I think they are better than the current ones.
I have a image of a refurbished Orion V, and since most of them are going through refurbishment, I think the current image should be replaced. What do other people think?

Also, I think we should have a section for images of community shuttles.

Saltn'Pepper: I don't want to step on your toes
here but I'm thinking we should not be including the double decker vehicles here as they are on loan and for a very temporary time period. They aren't part of the regular fleet, they are going away at a set time, and if we keep them listed here, I think it needs to be in a separate section to really make the distinction clear.
All right. I do think the double deckers should be listed here as they are part of the CMBC fleet, just won't be part of the fleet for very long though. But yes, I can see that it might be clearer if we have the double deckers separated from the regular fleet. —

Agreed, I don't think the double decker pilot should be listed with the main bus fleet. Since we're on topic of the fleet, should the fleet section be spun off into its own article? It would really help clean up the article as I feel it's too cluttered.

As for spinning off the fleet parts into another article, I don't think there's a justification for it as articles should be split based on
WP:SPLIT. I don't think the fleet details on their own are notable or different enough to warrant it. —

I'm a bit confused about the Community Shuttle fleet here. There are some units that are operated by First Transit and are shown here, and there are others that aren't. For example, 17501–17569 are a 50/50 split between being operated by CMBC and First Transit. 17501–17548 are oeprated by CMBC and 17549–17569 are operared by First Transit. All the units from this particular batch are shown, regardless if they're operated by CMBC or not. Yet units like S1321, S1322–S1325 that are operated by First Transit aren't even shown here. So should we include the other units that are operated by First Transit, as the units themselves are owned by TransLink, or should we remove all units because they aren't operated and maintained by CMBC. —

The original numbering segment is completely unsourced and provably wrong from
reliable sources, such as the claim that all xx000 units are XDE60s being shown incorrect from the many pictures of xx000 units that aren't XDE60s.[1] I'm just trying to
be bold and am adjusting my contributions according to the messages you and
Exp691 and included.
Due to the nature of this article, there aren't really any published sources for a lot of things, so in my opinion, it would be better to outright remove these sections than to keep them out of date and incorrect.
As for insider info, at most only the
detail about the bike racks, could be insider info. Even then it's not like it's a secret and I'd maybe consider it
original research, as I found that detail out myself and not from others.
If you have a better idea for how to source details regarding unit numbers, I'd love to hear it and I will go through this article by hand and mark a source for every little detail. Otherwise, I don't understand the insistence to have completely unsourced, incorrect sections over a section with correct details but non-ideal sources. Emma0mbtalk20:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC)reply
Feel free to remove any unsourced sections... I would definitely support that. It's debatable this article should exist at all (at least with the level of extreme bus-fan detail it has) since it's in essence a guide and we are
WP:NOTAGUIDE. But you don't fix things by adding in new/updated info that isn't properly sourced. That's replacing one issue (being unsourced) with another (being improperly sourced). —

If so, I'd be happy to rewrite both with decent citations; granted, not a lot of published sources on bus fleets so that might take a bit unless a media outlet decides to publish a story about the entire TransLink fleet. Emma0mbtalk22:33, 8 February 2024 (UTC)reply
