Rowan Pendergrast Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Keep in mind I was talking about the 54 nova hybrids being ordered. by then all 77-78xx and 15-16xx series buses (non rebuilt) will be all gone and the 79 and 80 buses are next but the ttc only has so much money. the 54 nova hybrids are enough to replace most of the 79xx buses and the remaining ones will be replaced in 2019.

The 79's are far more reliable then them. your statement is based on what drivers said or the mechanics actually work on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 8xxx would retire before 79xx because the 79's have more juice than the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why TTC would do that. They have the exact same engine and transmission, so they should have the same amount of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s about $8000 extra worth of parts, and a whole lot more failure modes. Mechanically, the 8000s are closer to the NG 8100s, except for the hydraulically driven rad fan. The same modifications to the EGR, variable geometry turbo, crankcase venting and fuel injection systems that were done between end of the 5.9 in 2006 and the start of the 6.7 in 2007 were also done to the ISL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mar_AC_23 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Who cares which series of buses are going to retire first or next! All of this speculation is pointless at this point in time as we don't know what the TTC is going to retire next. We already know that the remaining 2002-2005 OGs are being retired and any non rebuilt 15xx and 16xx units including the 17xx and 18xx units that experience major component failures will be pulled from the active bus roster. We'll know eventually what series of buses are next but there is enough stuff going on already including the vision nova bus deliveries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Arrow and Mt. Dennis should begin swapping buses soon to ensure enough vehicles are available for the VISION rollout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
