Depends on the severity of the damage. If no structural damage, should be repaired

My guess is 4213 and 4255 will be used as part donators along with 4378 as best as they can until larger groups of buses are removed

4255 to my knowledge was supposed to be repaired but it never was.

The following are confirmed retired units to date: 4201, 4213, 4249, 4255, 4280, 4378, 4385

It has recently come to my attention that the 2008-09 D60LF. 6366 and 6381 are stripped down in the bodyshop currently

NovaBus has confirmed the order for 82 NovaBus LFS units to OC Transpo for 2019. http://novabus.com/nova-bus-announces-important-order-oc-transpo-82-40-foot-transit-buses-delivered-end-2019-ottawa/

Was this today?

I wasn’t even trying to get the logos off both buildings in the photo

My bad, I didnt notice when I pulled up on my phone.

Wrong. That was not during doors open, employees can fill up parking lots....

New wrap alert on 5117, blue and white Reliance Holmes full wrap

The Inveros that will be removed from service are ones requiring the most repairs.

Saw 9132 last week

Even the ADL buses were rack equipped on delivery. Purchase order included being bike rack equipped, so racks installed on delivery, OC then removes the rack before putting in service if delivery occurs during winter.

Precisely!

Actually, theyre the standard door, my thought is that at the time they were installed, the bus was better put to use in service than sitting around waiting to be painted, which to this day, they have forgotten to paint the doors, and at this point, would be a waste to paint.

Theres trips on the 82 and 84 like that in the morning. Mustve been a mistake if in PM

It doesn’t today. Just tested it 🤣

If you cant tell by my post, it was NOT delivered, merely just brought to the garage for some tests in advance of delivery.

4604 at St Laurent garage today to run a few tests.

Couldnt tell you, I havent thr slightest clue

Pre delivery inspection, starting with the hybrids back in 2009, OC has contracted all PDI and final equipment set up (radio, farebox, smartbus etc) to vendors so that the buses are 100% road ready the day they arrive on property. Though, with the Novas, like the double deckers, operators and mechanics will require training in advance of service use.

Not likely, they are going to vendor for PDI

I have seen the bus a few times this evening, I am confused, but my best guess, the ODK died and was replaced with one not updated recently

No one stated it was delivered. It is not at any OC property...best I can say is it was delivered to a vendor (unknown which one) for PDI and final preparations before being officially delivered to OC. The individual who posted the photo of the bus on Ogilvie, I have never seen any of their posts before and the photo doesn’t clearly show the bus in Ottawa, just that its an OC Nova.
