MaT Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 So does anyone know how many buses each system is getting for sure? I can't even say what Windsor is getting but I'm gonna guess at least 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCI Classic Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 So does anyone know how many buses each system is getting for sure? 2 for Barrie 5 for Burlington 6 for Windsor 12 for London 15 for Durham 24 for YRT Total of 64 units Now notice that this announcement includes Burlington Transit as STILL being involved with this joint purchase.In a post that I had posted earlier I believe, Burlington's out of this purchase. The information I got from todays paper still has a listing for 5 buses for BT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRT Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 DurhamRegion.com says it's 15: http://www.durhamregion.com/dr/regions/dur...p-4498578c.html I was watching First Local last night, 6 will be for expansion, and 9 for replacements and will be on the road by the end of 2007. They will be New Flyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Speaking of this, I saw on the doorside of YRT 2005 New Flyer D40LF #573 a sticker that is relevant to this. The sticker shows all the bus systems involved in this purchase and several phrases along the lines of it bring a greener future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallspy Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 hey was the TTC on there? if so does that mean the end for Orion products? It wouldn't make sense for the TTC to be involved in this kind of mass purchase. The other transit properties aren't interested in the kind of options that the TTC wants, and vice versa. Besides, with the quantities that the TTC buys in, they are likely getting better discounts than this anyways. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Would it make since for NYC MTA and TTC to jointly but Orion VII's since their specs are almost the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YRT-Guy Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I now read that YRT is getting 30 new buses out of this purchase. Source: The Liberal (although I guess the liberal paper is not always that accurate is it??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crantila Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Would it make since for NYC MTA and TTC to jointly but Orion VII's since their specs are almost the same? If this were the case, the order would be for 100 000 busses, and each bus would cost a reasonable $20 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newflyerinvero Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I had just recieved this information from the Burlington Transit supervisor today: ==================================================================== Dear Nicholas: This will confirm that Burlington Transit is part of the MTO Joint Transit Vehicle Procurement Process and we are scheduled to get five 12m (40') low-floor vehicles through this process. The supplier, New Flyer, has reported that they hope all 64 vehicles included in this process will be delivered by the end of the year. ==================================================================== With this in mind now, there's still a possible tender to be issued next month. For expansion? For how many...LF/HF? All of these questions I'm sure will be answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newflyerinvero Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 So with confirmation back in the Transit Windsor page about them pulling out of the consortium, which systems of the remaining 5 would pick up the other 6 D40LF's for this year?

newflyerinvero Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 New Flyer, according to their website, has information on the option of the Consortium. The option year was exercised and was given to New Flyer for 75 buses. No indication on which systems will be participating, although I'd suspect that they will be the same oens as for this year. It's d be interesting to see whether Transit Windsor would want to exercise it, unless if they can't seeing as they've already rejected the first batch for this year.

newflyerinvero Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 It was reported in another thread that YRT's 2007 D40LF's have arrived. Reported there was that a friend of whom had posted the information that they're drastically different from a D40LF, being a D40LFR? Last I checked, it's supposed to be D40LF's, unless if they've all changed to LFR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YRT-Guy Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 The pictures on that thread seem to very clearly show YRT 701 as a D40LF. Yes.. I saw the bus info up close and personal. They are 2006 D40LF's with just a couple extra driver gadgets which is why they look a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityflyer Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 So since all these 6 systems jointly ordered it, which system is it built most towards? I know they're all under the same specs, but it must be closer to one system than the others right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztek985 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Actually, from what I heard systems were free to spec their buses how they liked. I can tell you the interior of the 07 YRTs is defiantly NOT something that will be seen in a LTC bus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you the interior of the 07 YRTs is defiantly NOT something that will be seen in a LTC bus! From pictures of interiors of YRT, Burlington and DRT, it looked pretty much the same except the colour of the seats and the walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
