Where would I go if I wanted to find one of the 2018 Xcelsiors? Surrey?

Do you think ETS will sell the Orions to another agency or just scrap them?

I can't confirm for your barriers but the few in Victoria BC have sliding glass in case the operator wants to converse with the passenger. There is alot of glare however.

Makes sense, I saw 9848 in Victoria last week

Not related to this bus order, but are the 2019 deckers going to have driver shields?

9848 spotted at Colwood Exchange as a Route 51 UVIC this morning.

I'm sure Translink has tons of fareboxes, they collect them from retired buses and re-use them. At least BC Transit in Victoria does that.

Those fareboxes are so old anyways lol. I thought they were taking them out when the Compass card readers were put in?

Anybody know when the 18300 series Nova hybrids will be in service?

What's the deal with 4912 artic? Hasn't been reported on Transit55 for over 3 months?

Wow, that's gonna cause a few issues on the #4! At least 2006 is only doing half a trip... 40(ish) passengers maximum. I guess 2029's rear door wouldn't close? Hmm. They are finicky little buses. When they work, they work great; but when they break down, it's a nightmare!

New buses for 16 BC Transit systems. Light-duty ARBOCs and Medium-duty Vicinitys. https://bctransit.com/victoria/news/article?nid=1403650725018

Judging by the amount of windows, I'm going to assume it's an SOM28G (28-foot)
