Ninja Bus Fan Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I think most buses now are sent to ABC out in Burnaby and Langley. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Write Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 How many D60LF's left in service, and how long do they have until the jaws of death come calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only remaining D60LF's would be 8013, 8022, 8043, 8050, 8052, and 8073. As for when they'd be retired, i'd suspect by the time the Lougheed rapid buses goes live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Shuttle Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 From facebook: 8050 should be done for good 8015 finally limped to HTC dead track Photo of 8013 attached in the same post. Not sure if dead as well, simply mislabeled as 8015 or what. Is HTC Track 21 the dead track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the buses own little party! But let's hope 8013 isn't dead yet. The oldest 60 foot active in North America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, CMBC made it their PR vehicle and continued using it after that. We don't need it now because we got an unmodified GM Old Look last year (we were going to use 7112 as our PR bus and restore 730 if CMBC let us take it). Only WVMT, to my knowledge, is interested in preservation. They have at least a fishbowl and a D40LF preserved (someone said they have a fleet but I only know about the two).

Community Shuttle Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Clarification: It was indeed 8015 which was limped over to HTC along with 8050; who knows how long 8013 has been sitting on track 21 (which appears to indeed be HTC's dead track)?

Orion6784 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Looks to me like 8043 is the oldest active articulated bus in North America. It is also the last active 1990s built articulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
