Articulated Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 @simonsevillematt Sorry you lost me. Are you saying that CATA 632 is now ex-COTA 2402, not 2401? And is 2401 now the parts bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsevillematt Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 @Articulated, yes, i didn't know that CATA was going to put 2402 on the road as 632, as for 2401, i'm not completely sure, last i was told by a driver friend was that CATA was going to use all 8 since they already have spare parts coming from New Flyer, and 634 is a renumbered XDE40LF bus.

Blake M Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 I spotted what I believe was a COTA bus in Calgary, Canada outside my work. It was a 29 or 30 foot Gillig, couldn't see a fleet number though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTAbus Posted December 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Update about 2401 & 2402 sent to CATA: 2401 is confirmed as the parts bus based on OMSIMattHowell's Youtube video but apparantly it was originally going to be 634 before something happened. 2402 is confirmed to be 632 also 2401 - 2403 had an old school Stop request light in the front. the 2100s, 2300s, 2500s, 2404 and 2405 didnt have those. the last buses to have those were either the 1993 flxibles or the 1995 flxibles (i'm not too sure) Evidence: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCTAbus Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Another COTA bus has been involved in an accident Thursday and is likely a potential write off. 1513 was hit by an SUV and then crashed into a house. The damage to the bus doesn't look to serious but I bet this one will be written off. The Driver of the SUV was found at fault for the accident and also tried to flee the scene. The COTA Driver, the single passenger, and the people in the house all had minor injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
