    I think it got refurbished again because of the 10 year investment plan. Although, considering it's age, it's weird that they decided to refurbish a 19 year old bus.

     

    How long do you bet 8020 might last? Considering it's age of 19 years.

  2. On December 10, 2016 I rode V12024 on route 49 to Metrotown Station. The driver stopped on the up-hill Vivian Ave bus stop. When he started to depart the stop, the bus got stuck under the ice and snow. The driver struggled for about ten minutes, alternating between DRIVE and REVERSE, then, the driver of V12010 who was driving on the opposite direction stopped and turned on the emergency lights and walked over to my bus. He talked with my driver. They (driver of V12010) agreed that my bus driver would have us get off the bus and wait while V12010's driver successfully drove V12024 out of the stop, but ended up scrapping the area around the articulating joint (go figure...) after that, V15019 arrived from behind us and picked up half of the passengers from the bus I was on, but it filled up quickly so the other half of us (including me) ended up boarding V12024 again. I feel bad for the bus driver. : ( Are VTC bus operators trained to drive articulated buses up snowy hills? Because my driver seemed to be having a hard time...
