HTC (43/91): Large chunk of the 2019 order (19015-19047), 32 units. PTC (701/97): BTC transfers 8102-8117, 8149-8156 (24 units) to replace 20 D60LF (and for expansion). 19001-19015 (15 units) expansion for B-Line.

Updating that instead of RTC, now HTC is the one proposed to be in charge of the 41st Avenue articulated rapid transit service. Hamilton still has loads of space. Everything that's been retired has been sent off to scrap now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then all that will be left in BTC will be the 2018 and 2019 XDE60 order and maybe 20 random buses scattered around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express691 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 K perhaps maybe not all of the hybrids are moving to HTC. Maybe 15 or 20 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, could someone produce a rendering of a Rapidbus-wrapped DE60LFR, D60LF, Orion V, and a 2007/2008 Novabus LFS? Just for fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingPig Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Ok, so there are 30 buses to be wrapped, with five different liveries. Six have come into service with the first one, so I'm guessing as soon as 18007 comes in it will have the next one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingPig Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 18004 entered service yesterday - presumably with a broken TMAC, since it didn't show up yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briguychau Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Saw B18007 and B18010 (I think) at HTC. I may be wrong, but they look like they're wrapped in almost all black with some yellow text, which doesn't match the 5 designs they showed off in the video. Looks like it may be an ad wrap and not an art wrap? If my eyes didn't deceive me this kind of explains how they might cover the 33 green buses that aren't going to be art wrapped.
