You have to admit it's fun driving one of those Orion V's (the 1990's), belching thick, black smoke out the top exhaust, with the front PR sign saying "Smog Day - Ride The Bus"! I always found it odd that Dispatch would put out the worst polluting buses like those, on Regional Smog Days! (Now, I do believe that even some of the newer Nova's are starting to "belch" black smoke too, on take off from a stop. Hmmm ......Dept. 2 ???) Anyway, I will miss the black smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 8906 won't be retired because I don't see it on the list Well, we'll still have the 9400's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until September to see what is retired and what is not. A driver knowing what is happening with fleet? Highly suspect....) Just because a unit is parked out back, doesn't mean it's toast.

vivablue5215 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Just because a unit is parked out back, doesn't mean it's toast. Yeah, shouldn't the HFs be parked for the summer anyway? You guys only need about 50% of the buses you usually use during school days. Maybe that's where they store buses for the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newflyerinvero Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Is there any update on which HF's have been put to sleep with the 2010's out in service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4500 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I wish, and they should also get rid of the 9400's too ! But I guess we'll just have to wait until next year ! I think there will still be a few more years on the '92 and '94's. tThere just doesn't seem to be money in the budget to replace that many buses and still do the amount of expansion they seem to want to do.
