7280's destination sign appears to be installed upside down. 

Has one of the 2001 D40LF's been retired?

How do you become a Wiki Editor?

I've noticed that the interior lights are placed differently in the 1995-98 D40LF's than the 2000-2001 D40LF's. Why?

And this may have been mentioned already, but the bodies of the NFI buses being retired right now are collectively garbage. Translink's bigger fleet quantity and more aggressive replacement strategy has mitigated the issue somewhat, but at BC Transit where they need the D40LFs on the road longer there's been a lot of difficulty keeping the buses going due to body fatigue and an inability to meet safety requirements. 

collectively garbage?

But at what point is there not enough life left in the frame to be worth it?

Frames weaken over time right?

"Not enough life left in the frame?" what do you mean?

Spotted a lot of 2-car Mark 2.5's coming and going through Coquitlam Central this evening, like one every 2-3 minutes. Seems like they are simulating full service or something.

Mark 2.5's?

Yo pls don't post the same pic on several threads. It's a pain for us that follow all the threads, which is essentially everyone; if there is a strong connection to multiple threads choose the best. Thanks! 

So true, hopefully people know that it's not a good idea to post that way.

100% electric Zero emissions bus at Vancouver Transit Centre

 

The front looks like an Xcelsior. Except for the head lights.

Just had a relaxing ride on S7287 on route 430. (Except the seat I was sitting on was hard as CONCRETE!) (Too much exaggeration...)

About time. We've been talking about this for about 3 or 4 years now

 

For those who are unaware the blue compass sticker van be removed off the machines. I recommend trying this   if you do. , Near the back doors to avoid pissing off any operators.

So we should remove the blue Compass stickers from the machines?

Body/paint? A few times last year the odd Orion (and sometimes XDE60) would show up at VTC.

How come 9239 hasn't been rebuilt yet?

Noticed that 7420 have had majority of its passenger side windows and the rear doors removed

Probably will be used on other buses which need their window(s) replaced, Rear doors removed?? Were any seats removed?

1995 D40LF R7141 up close. Skip to around 1:05 for the bus view.

You're a bit late...

Lol. What do you mean??

7115 has an H prefix...

I've noticed that there is a 2 centimetre gap in between the rear doors of the Novabuses.

Long weekend unscheduled extra. The Friday before Victoria Day I did the scheduled Friday overload, and a C40LF showed up randomly, cut to the front of the line and picked up 90% of the people that the regular service couldn't take, leaving me with about 10 passengers. As I was leaving Ladner Exchange, I spotted that same C40LF pulled over to the side of the road just beyond the stop on 17A north of Hwy 10, and when I arrived at that stop, the driver flagged me down... turned out his bus had died, so I took all his passengers, which I would have taken in the first place anyway!

" turned out his bus had died"? Why would they send a C40LF? lol

Why are those routes only services by XD40`s today

Can someone draw an XDE60 in the old Sweep paint?

8089 is back in service as of Sept 30th. I know this has been mentioned before, but here are some photos.

 

The front destination sign needs fixing though... Bus must be in decent shape? Why was it repainted near retirement?
