OCTD 2039 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Detroit Diesel 6V92TA claimed that the 9700s and 9800s were retired, but they're still here! I saw units 9707 and 9816 near the layover at route 94 as training buses. Revert this edit because the New Flyer XN40s and BYDs haven't arrived yet, as the first units will arrive soon.

Cappy Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Fixed. Besides 9701, 9707, 9714, and 9816, do you know of any others among the 9700s and 9800s that are still used in service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCTD 2039 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 As of right now, 9701, 9703, 9707, 9802, and 2014 have been retired due to a blown piston on each of these buses. Ken Porter Auctions has those buses for auction in one week. 2229 was retired from a front end accident in June 2015, and so far 9711 and 9715 have been retired as well due to the delivery of units 1521-1528.

OCTD 2039 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 2237 has been retired because it crashed onto a building recently. Most of the 9800s (9816, 9803, 9805-9806, 9812, 9814) are built in March 1998, and they have the same seating layout as the 9700s. The 9800s are the very last buses with the blue stripe paint scheme and all of them were repainted in 1999. 9813 has a revised builder's plate sticker with its build date in February 1998.

OCTD 2039 Posted February 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 https://www.kenporterauctions.com/vehicle_listing_Details.asp?id=246392 At Ken Porter Auctions, there is a 1998 New Flyer D40LF, which is unit 9806, that has been retired recently and is to be auctioned off in 4 days as a non-runner. This bus supposedly had 1,039,371 miles even though the website says it had 39,371 miles, as the odometer on these buses only have six black squares and a single white one, which don't register the millionth mile, instead starting over at zero. This YouTube video of unit 9807 listed below claims that this bus has been retired, as stated in the video's title. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjIoZXU7KTZAhXKzVQKHR61Bt0QjhwIBQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DDXlld4cBANA&psig=AOvVaw3Fp8XYkiGHx6RuZMkbL1Mz&ust=1518678559707259 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
