In more seriousness... I often hear that white LEDs are easier to see than yellow LEDs... but why is that? Is it because of the fact that most street lights we use today emit an amber glow and thus the two similarly-coloured lights are blending together if viewed from a distance? And yet... a number of cities like Vancouver and Burnaby are now moving towards white LEDs for their street lighting too... so I can't imagine this contrast problem getting any better whether we switch colours or not...?

And will be because those pages are not updated enough. When our 2015 order was confirmed, the page still said TBA. The member who used to confirm the orders is now a well reputed driver and has since moved on from posting here. As for you, I suggest checking New Flyer's website hereon out and only update when the order has been awarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millennium2002 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 @buizel10 @Brando737 You folks should remove your posts and talk about it via PM. Agencies may not like that this information is being passed around so liberally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people in the group that are not employed by any transit agency, some even in high school I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I see. So these 52 will arrive ~August 2018, and we're still waiting to see if the options for future deliveries will be diesel or hybrid.

From July's board meeting: The only incorrect listing here is the 57 diesels, now 47 CNGs and 10 Hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the ISL being phased out in 2017, these units should be getting L9 engines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
