Does anybody know if there is a comprehensive page on Translink's website with transit rules? I am looking to go out to get a large propane tank for my bbq and do not have a vehicle to pick it up with. I would like to carry it on the bus, but am not sure if there are some obscure transport canada or translink rules that would restrict its carriage.
Ah, I just called and they don't allow it, even the small coleman ones. Thanks for the number, I had no idea that they had a customer service department.
At least with the Coleman ones you can hide in a backpack. *shrugs* I don't perceive them as dangerous like the big propane tanks. They have them inside stores.
^^ The bus does an emergency braking maneuver and the thing rolls 40 ft to the front and explodes upon impact?
Not that such items cannot be transported safely, but some people in this world lack basic knowledge of the world...so we have such rules.
A guy in my condo dropped a Coleman tank from his third storey suite to my ground level patio by accident... nothing happened. Not saying that the Coleman tanks are completely safe but I've heard bad things about the 25 lb propane tanks but nothing with the Coleman tanks.
