MT0603 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 How do buses in your neck of the woods handle snow falls when snow removal service is either too slow or not available in the winter? In MT land they do good, except for the Orion VIs which have the off balance engine like your LFSes. The D60LFs don't get sent out but that's it. The D40LFs, Orion VIIs and the Orion Vs get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VIII Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Usually they use snowplows to clear the snow here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, back a few years ago (When we used to get lots of snow!) me and my older brother would wake up early during a snowstorm while it was still snowing and there was lots of snow on the ground to go ride MT.

YRT-Guy Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I have not had any issues manouvering any of the YRT buses in snow (Orion I's, Orion VI's, Orion V's, D40LFs etc). I do find the EZ Riders can slide a bit though, although nothing that you can't work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got are first snow accumulation of the year today in Montreal! Nice! Our snow plows were out that day we got snow and it was a pretty horrible sight as it reminded me of last winter with those awful 30CM snow falls... those were killers trying to shovel out stuff... and were so frequently happening... than they melted causing ice than another 30cm snow fall... arg that winter was horrible last winter. I hope that that doesn't happen again. Back on topic, once I get a D60LF picture of them being stuck, expect it to me my new avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Wright Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Does brown snow count? Well it's snow right? I don't think it has to be white. Heck it can probably be yellow too. I have yet to get a photo of a bus in the snow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Ok... so it's a School Bus and it's not actually running. But it's a neat shot anyways IMO. Enjoy! http://www.busdrawings.com/schoolbus/1538.jpg But to keep it Transit related, here is a D60LF from Vancouver in the snow: http://www.busdrawings.com/Transit/British...d60lf/b8052.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 hey i was wondering, was that orion I a 30ft or 40ft? i have never seen a RH orion I before Richmond Hill always had baby Orion Is just like the Markham Vaughan and Newmarket/Aurora Transits in the 80s. 8709 was one of the units that made it through amalgamation. As for buses in the snow, here is one from last winter. Currently in Toronto we are experiencing Vancouver like temperatures with no snow in sight for now. http://felix-poon.fotopic.net/p32729345.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
