Northfield?

There is a lot of movement going on. It looks like the hybrids are based out of Northfield along with a majority of the 2009 iXpress units. Just a hodgepodge of buses have been moved up there.

[Transit 20]

only hybrids at Northfield is the new 2021 hybrids.

80s hybrids and the 2011 hybrids are at Strasburg

Quick question for those who know for sure. Furthur back in the discussion it was mentioned that the artics would arrive in the fall.  On the wiki it says 2023. Is there concrete info for when they will arrive? And also how many are on order? Im assuming 3 like was stated in the news article from a while back? 3 buses per year for 3 years? Any ideas what routes they will be used on? Im also assuming they will be hybrids like the 40ft. Thanks a lot!

[Transit 20]

evening mat there is so much Confusion on the Artics one source says there on order and will be here this year now council still has to Aprrov them all i know is there not coming to 2023 they will be hybrids and the routes will be 201-202.

there is also talk about rebuilding Conestoga station so they can fit and the all Electric buses they will have to do work at University of waterloo station the turn onto ring road is tight.

 

im not sure on how many are post to be coming.

 

hope that info helps.

[Transit 20]

afternoon a few updates.

2022 nova hybrids are post to start Delivery this month.

there is strong talk that some of the 2009 Novas could be parked this year most are now over a million miles.

there is no talk about the Artics my contact at regional council retired.

8009 was in a Collison today unknown how bad the damage is the car was in bad shape.

[GMoldlook]

Any news on what the service adjustments will be for January, especially considering the ridership news?

[Transit 20]

afternoon what im hearing from my contacts sounds like the 201-202 will be going 10 minutes all day i should know more next week will post more info once i get it.

[Transit 20]

afternoon small update.

the 60 footers are now deferred till 2024 due to no terminals can handle them.

Are they just buses from this year but arriving in 2023？

[Transit 20]

no this year buses will be here this year but wont go into service till early 2023.

2023 nova hybrids and all Electrics will enter service some time next year.

2023 will see 35 hybrids plus 6 all electrics.

[TransitIsMyThing]

Thanks for showing these photos! I have never seen a window on the driver's side that looks like that. Is this a new feature on the LFS HEVs?

[PrimeTio]

Those new driver windows are for all new Nova models.

Breaking news: Routes 2 Stirling and 73 Northlake BusPlus to be removed

Routes 31 Columbia, 33 Huron and 36 Thomas See to get weekend service

Routes 8 Weber & 12 Westmount to operate 15-minutes Monday to Friday

[GMoldlook]

Route 2 has been around in one form or another since 1973...is there simply no one riding it?  Seems strange to have no service at all on Stirling Ave.

Are these changes coming in the Spring with the final Cambridge route changes?
