About time since they never ordered the XD40 ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still unpainted without the number, but without doubt this would be in the new livery. This was taken at the exit of A-640 and Boulevard des Promenades in Deux-Montagnes as it heads back to the Nova Bus plant. Also note the new doors much like those on YRT's conventional LFS. Uhh, I hate to burst this old conversation but um, this is fake. It is photoshopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, how can we know that 7883 is 7666 when the bus was never seen wearing both of those numbers at the same time? It's almost as though information can exist outside the realm of photography. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doppelkupplung Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Furthermore, the poster in question, @anyfong, is a reliable poster, and I’m quite sure he would have known if the pic was photoshopped. 1 hour ago, UltimateNovabus YOUTUBE said: 2.

Kobayashi Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Looks like New Flyer surrendered once more (as is with the orders of the LFSes and VIIs) https://www.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Commission_reports_and_information/Commission_meetings/2018/June_12/Reports/27_Green_Bus_Technology_Plan_Update.pdf Nova has won the contract on May 19th for 200 LFS HEV units since New Flyer pulled out due to limited production issues. TTC has released a deployment schedule for the eBus units: November 2018 - BYD (New Eglinton) February 2019 - New Flyer (Arrow Road) June 2019 - Proterra (Mount Dennis) 30 more eBuses will come in late 2019 per p. 45 of the slide. What is also interesting is the return of CNG buses and the debut of hydrogen fuel cell (New Flyer offers the XHE40) with the TTC doing a fuels study with Enbridge. Full report will be announced in late 2018. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lip Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 New Flyer really loves coming up with BS reasons as to why they cant/wont submit a competitive bid in Toronto. If they dont want to play the game with the TTC, then next time they shouldn't even bother submitting a bid. As for this hydrogen bus stuff, I really hope the TTC doesn't get enamored with it in the same way Metrolinx has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtrazsteve Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Also to be noted in the report, the 68 artics (61 hybrid + 7 eBus) is still to be procured in 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
