Transit 20 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 i am still hearing 40 but not totally sure we will have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transit 20 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 hi everybody numbers for 2014 order are all over the place the most is 40 and there are numbers as low as 5 will update when i get final numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2281 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 hi everybody numbers for 2014 order are all over the place the most is 40 and there are numbers as low as 5 will update when i get final numbers Considering the amount of service expansion this year (compared to 2013), it is quite reasonable to assume 5 over 40.

Transit 20 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 yes but the 94xx are post to retire this year so are the 1997 and 1999 novas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2281 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 yes but the 94xx are post to retire this year so are the 1997 and 1999 novas To be fair, I've heard this all before. The fleet is now 100% accessible. There will also be significant cuts to school specials in September. I don't think there's an absolute rush to replace them.

Transit 20 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 hi everybody we are getting 11 xd40s this year. 21401-21411. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRT21101 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 So now that we know how many we are getting this year, is anyone going to put it up on the wiki page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRT21101 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I am hearing that they are making bigger changes to the 2014 order than I thought! Possibly a new drivetrain i.e/ Allison or Voith transmissions among other changes due to the skyrocketing repair costs on the 2013's? Also apparently GRT gave New Flyer a ultimatum regarding the screw up's on the 2013's that they better get the 2014's right before delivery or risk contract cancelation, that kind of makes sense why it is taking so long to get the 2014's delivered...

2281 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 ... that kind of makes sense why it is taking so long to get the 2014's delivered... Calm your tits. GRT buses are typically delivered in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRT21101 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Calm your tits. GRT buses are typically delivered in the Summer.They need the buses for the service expansion later this month, that is why I am mentioning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2281 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 They need the buses for the service expansion later this month, that is why I am mentioning it. All I see is a long list of service cuts, with the exception of the 203 (which at 30-minute frequencies will use a whopping 3 buses). Edit: I lied, the 203 only requires 2 buses until September.

Edit: I lied, the 203 only requires 2 buses until September. also another reason why I mentioned it is because we received our first 2013 XD40 on March 1st last year, I thought we would be seeing them a bit sooner than this!
