jetSet Parking (YEG)

[A. Wong]

jetSet Parking operates at least 2 35' ElDorado National E-Z Rider II BRT buses. They shuttle passengers and luggage from their parking lot site to the terminal at the Edmonton International Airport.

I first learned of these buses from a few fellow board members who attended the CUTA Trans-Expo 2011 in Toronto and had sent me pictures of these buses, with side placards for the Edmonton International Airport. The destination sign also seemed to be displaying ETS routes. These buses have an updated rear design as well. Now the bus looks a lot like a Nova LFS.

Ryan Flores has posted his photos up here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/r-flores/sets...57628088252460/

These buses are probably more than sufficient for their fleet, so I wouldn't be surprised if they only have the two. They also operate smaller cutaways:

Here is another photo of that parked unit:

The engines sounded like Cummins ISB, the standard engine for these buses. They also have an orange beacon light at the rear (typical feature of airport vehicles that operate on the tarmac), and what is normally a side destination sign as a rear destination sign (Luminator Horizon).

Here are some photos of the second unit I saw today, which has the license plate 84-L082:

"jetSet’s shuttle buses run every 5 minutes and stops at all bus shelters as well as at jetSet’s main office. When you arrive back from your trip, the jetSet shuttles will pick you up from doors 3 and 9. Simply call 780-890-8625 and proceed to the outter curb of doors 3, or 9 on the arrivals level. A bus will be there to assist you in no time."

I am using Jetset when I leave for Ottawa here in January.

Finally, a little more of a mix in the Edmonton area other than New Flyers and Nova's

They have all since been wrapped for a variety of Edmonton sports teams, including the Edmonton Eskimos and Edmonton Oilers.

They actually have 3 of these buses. I will have photos posted on my website shortly. These should be 2011's, right?

Yes, they should be early 2011s. One of the units was displayed at CUTA 2011 in April in Toronto before being delivered to YEG. They look at lot better in your photos now that they have some colour on them!

Added my photos of these Eldorado EZ-Rider II BRT buses.

This unit has license plate 84-L080, otherwise the buses still don't seem to have fleet numbers on the outside anywhere.

Jetset now has 3 ElDorado EZ Rider BRTs

The third is all white with "5" on the front and back.

They actually have four of them now. They already had 3 for a few years now. Photos here on my website: http://www.busdrawings.com/Transit/alberta/jetset/index.htm . A 4th one was delivered last summer. I have photos of that one as well as I caught it in Claresholme. Looking for them now...

3 units noted over a year ago.

Having said that, there's the Eskimo's wrap, Oiler's wrap, and Oil Kings wrap. Did you get a license plate number? The existing 3 have the last 4 digits as L080, L081, and L082.

Finally found my images that I took back on August 5, 2013 of the Eldorado being delivered to JetSet. Enjoy!

I forgot to post, last time I was at the airport (December 2, 2013) I thought I saw more than one unit in white! Will have to wait for someone else to go out there to verify. If not, I'll be out there later this month so I will keep my eyes open.

Someone needs to update the Wiki with some photos.

Yep, they have two new ElDorados. Both are white and numbered 4 and 5. They also still have some Aerotech cutaways.

I've updated the Wiki page to reflect the fleet changes.

Attached are some photos taken yesterday.

4 and 5 at the terminal.

I wonder how these would look side-by-side with either anything from ETS, or Leduc Transit... or maybe even both?

[M. Parsons]

There was a Leduc Transit Arboc hiding somewhere under the departures level.

Reactivating a really old thread with some new information...

The five ElDorados have all been numbered/renumbered to 180-184. There is still one unit in all white (184), and assuming everything was renumbered in order former unit 4 (now 183) has been wrapped for FC Edmonton.

[A. Wong]

Some more changes to the JetSet fleet.

The Edmonton Eskimos bus 182 has a different wrap now: 

Previous wrap: 

They also have some white Arbocs, 187 and 196 (54-1603), which appear to be air ride equipped. The one I took had a smooth ride even with a full load of passengers and luggage. Also an Eldorado with a new orange strip along the top.
