TTC Bus Antenna

[wpstinson1963]

Does anyone know what the new antennas on all buses are being used for?

Thank You

UHF TETRA. Some areas don't have the greatest system coverage.

And here I thought it was a over height detector. When you whack it against a bridge, tree branch, over head wire or snap it off completely your too tall.

I am surprised they are not using a lower profile antenna. Even if spring mounted the long antenna is going to have a lot of physical motion especially from the nice smooth roads in Toronto.
