Ottawa Bus Lines

[IdleMonitor]

Searching around and re-aligning my talkgroups on some systems, I found out that Delaney Bus lines no longer exists.


Roxborough Bus Lines bought out the school bus fleet and 417 bus lines have since bought out the charter coach fleet and commuter routes.


So (IF) anyone has any frequencies or talkgroups programmed for Delaney bus lines, they may want to update there programming.

I don't usually follow in much detail this type of user.

Roxborough has some VHF simplex listings, mostly to the east of Ottawa, but I see their
busses around a fair bit and a couple of drivers had HTs which seemed to be UHF. Bus antennas
are VHF. A while back I did hear some chatter on 159.585 which was probably them.

Update, just saw a Rox bus downtown, had a UHF antenna.

The ideal place tpo be to track these bus line and school buses is near their yard. usually in the morning they are very active. many dispatch from the yard making using CC a real easy find.

the sad part is some radio shops dont bother changing the antenna whips because its a pain to climb all the way up on top of a bus. Also they save money on having to provide a "new" antenna.... sad but true.
