I can't think of any off the top of my head … During my time at CT this was how it was explained to me. 1 - 1163 - Low Floor buses 1200 - 1999 - Shuttles 2000 series - LRT 3000 series - non revenue miscellaneous vehicles like trailers, scooters, etc 4000 series - Supervisor vans, PS vans, tow truck 5000 series - MCI 6000 series - articulated buses 7000 series - high floor Flyers 7500 series - low floor Flyers 8100 series - low floor Novas. Of course it changed over time and there were exceptions, the two U2AC were 3001 and 3002 before being renumbered 2101 and 2102. while 8000 and up is now both Nova and New Flyer. 15 minutes ago, PartiallySD said: I vaguely remember some #3000 non revenue LRT equipment (don’t think they start at 3001 anyways.) Edit: after a small bit of digging, apparently #3028 is a scooter at SG… I once rode in 3028, being taken to my bus at the far end of SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't suprise me if you pull an Edmonton and run a green line replacement shuttle (meaning rebranding the 302?) but run this thing on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did, but I’m disappointed they chose then once again, given SNC has had a number of ethical and corruption issues in the past with other projects that go beyond transit. If something does go wrong during the construction of the project they will face backlash that will also make the city look bad at the same time. Anyways….

CTrainDude Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Just so there’s no confusion here, SNC got the contract as the “Delivery” partner. They’re not building it - that’s the “Development” partner, and that contract has yet to be awarded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can promise all this "transit oriented development" all day, if they don't build a line that's useful from the get go it shouldn't take an expert analyst to predict what the ridership will actually look like when complete (and the media coverage of it all at that point as well...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green_line_26 Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 A ton of Phase 1 cost is into the tunnel, MSF, and vehicles. Hopefully sooner rather than later (before Phase 1 opening day) the money is put in to get the line all the way down to Seton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyC62 Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Card models of the Green Line trains were available from CT at the annual Supertrain show this past weekend. Due to the decision to depict the entire continuous length rather than separate cars, it's at a much smaller scale than previous CTrain card models. This becomes problematic for two reasons: 1) the wheels are much, much smaller (roughly half the size of the other cars), which makes them harder to bend down without ripping the much narrower strip of card between the fold point and the edge of the bottom and 2) the slots for the body tabs are right next to the wheels, so if you rip the wheel edges, you might damage the slots for the body, making it all that much more challenging to insert the tab such that they stay in place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
