When I say that, I don't mean 417 Bus Lines which has the majority of them. Here's one of the Evens Coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's numbered 177 and it's a Ford F650 with a Grech Motors GM40 body. It looks like it is a used unit as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Have the Delaney buses retained their numbers and wraps for the routes they do now that they're with 417 Bus Lines? For instance, 901 (515 Cornwall) and 1801 (517 North Glengarry)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe 1801 retired before Delaney sold the bus line since an H3 had been running the 517. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen it several times but they have changed the fleet number which is now only visible from the passenger side which I keep missing due to the small font.

The original fleet number is still visible on the front of the bus. The number 417 Bus Lines gave it is 32-97 which is displayed above the door and driver's window.

Michel Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Spotted a white MCI J4500 Demo running on the Transitway eastbound at Tunney’s. I believe it’s running for Leduc / Classic Motorcoach on the Carleton Place run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure how long we have it , I think till next week. Hopefully it'll still be there when I show up. Also do the Lanark branded MCIs (3941-43) still operate on the Carleton Place route? People have spotted buses other than those three doing that route recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 At the risk of going off topic..... I don’t understand the reason behind Classic Alliance Motorcoach. Leduc routinely provides buses from their own fleet to them. In not an accountant but there must be a financial reason for keeping them separate rather than rolling them all into one and having an east and west garage.

I think it's because it's easier to house one garage in the east and one in the west. I believe Classic Alliance Motorcoach is a subsidiary company of Leduc.

MCIBUS Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Also tax purposes. If you own a company, even subs of that company any $ losses for the first 5 years you can right it off. After 5 years to bad you take the hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev161 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 as far as I know , they operate completely separately , its just Leduc owns them... if they are short buses on either side they just lend each other buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Did 417 Bus Line discontinue the 553 to Limoges and St Albert? I noticed their timetable has been removed from OC Transpo's site along with 417's. If so, when was this because the route was active as of this past January.
