The Agenda with Steve Paikin talks about Ottawa's LRT problems

19 Double-deckers not Novabuses

According to the articles that @Loud-Invero has been spreading into the wrong threads. The 19 double-deckers will enter service on January 1, 2020.

Update: 0406 is in the new livery.

Toronto Ontario or Quebec?

Singer Bryan Adams turns 60 today!

Well, the oldest D60LFs in Canada at least. Now that Vancouver's D60LFs are all gone, I guess it's now Edmonton's 2001 units that are now the oldest. Come to Ottawa we still have very young D60LFs at only 11 years of age. The oldest in the States really.

I thought they were built in Scotland and they are carried over here by a ship.

Violence against OC Transpo drivers persists https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/union-says-violence-oc-transpo-employees-increasing-1.5344407

I may have already asked this question before. Is 43 buses the most buses the STO has ever purchased in it's history? Also noticed that ever since the 2002 Nova LFSs the STO hasn't skipped a year of new buses since then.

Any 2020 STM or STO units at the plant?

Roseanne Barr turns 67 today!

How many Novas are ad wrapped? 4603 and 4609 are the only ones I know of.

I believe that was just a prototype.

Update: 4485 is retired.

Because they are very expensive to maintain. Plus the city had already planned ahead to retire them when the new LRT opened.

BTW, To avoid useless posts on here I'll let you decide this time whether you want to share the photos with us or not.

@Enviro_1203 all ready mentioned in the Orion VII Hybrid retirement thread that the decommissioned units he posted about have officially been retired.

The following units mentioned above are all retired.

Update: 4277, 4394 & 4431 have returned to service.

@JCL Are there any of the second batch of Novas at CityView?
