Hi, I wish to be an Wiki Editor for CPTDB, My reason being is that I am a Mechanic for Kingston Transit and I can update the wiki more efficiently because I work with the fleet 24/7. I am active on this site daily looking for updates. Thanks, From Dakota.

Kingston Transit 1253 has been listed for disposal for the end of this year. This does not mean the bus will be sent to KIMCO Asap, it means that this bus will simply be put as a Spare unit or be decommissioned.

Anytime pal :), Sad thing is I remember when these buses were new! and now they are retiring Lol

0945 has left site since the Summer time and has been retired, DanT can confirm to. and that picture there is a little treat for everyone, 0836

0942 has passed safety inspection, Should be on the road by thursday, still have a couple issues regarding the a/c and the compressor to fix up. 1049 Will be dragged into the shop sooner rather then later for repairs of the Crankcase, Consat, New set of brakes. 0836 and 0835 will remain in storage as Kingston Transit is currently running on a 20% Spare ratio which means only buses we'll be running right now are 0942 and 0944. 0944 has a seized up compressor and a single dead battery, Able to be boosted though we were able to get her started 2 weeks ago.

0942 should be in service after this week, Currently due for a safety inspection and Servicing. 0944 should come back eventually to as a Spare. 0836 is in Storage, but in the coming months will go up for auction

Fleet Status as of Mar 11 2024: D40LF Statuses: 0942 (On Hoist, after repair will be put in storage, This is all from the boss-man by the way so if someone can for me please edit the CPTDB Wiki for accuracy. 0835 Currently in Storage missing some parts but from what I am being told is in storage because it would be easy to put back on the road if needed. 0836 Retired - To many parts removed, due for KIMCO sometime this month, Will alert everyone when its officially been removed from Transit property. 0944 Some parts missing, Currently in Storage. 1049 Has now been deemed beyond repair and has been used as a parts bus since Last year, It is due to go over to KIMCO this month as well. -Dakota -KT Fleet Services

New manager didnt like, so we do as what boss-man wants, He wanted it unwrapped, I helped unwrap it. Lol

Alrite folks, Got an update on 0835 and 0836, so from what I heard from the boss-man 0836 is retired its lost its driving capabilites from when I looked inside of it, While 0835 is in storage and it had a weird tag on the steering wheel that was green and said '''Novabus, Prevost, Volvo - Warranty'' anyone know what that could mean? I only work in the Wash lane and detailing so.

Kingston Transit will have the following plans for there older fleet: 0835 and 0836 have been parked out back beside the Storage Garage Out of Sight 0942 Is currently parked closer outside to the Coach Canada Bus Terminal in Storage as far as I know. 0944 Is currently parked under the canopy with two mirrors missing but currently retains its license plates, I talked to the Parts Guy recently about it and he said he'd just ordered multiple parts for that Coach 0944. Now for the D40LFR series, Me personally I don't think these are gonna be retiring anytime soon thankfully, but they are 14 years old, But they for sure got another year or even two left. If you got any questions I may be able to assist you, I work in KT's Fleet Services Department. Feb 18 2024, Dakota
