Kelvin3157 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 I think the S50s won't get it at all except for those 3.. I think some artics got it as well, not sure which ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the list of buses above, sorted by their current divisions as per the Wiki: Mount Dennis: 1006 Malvern: 1206-1207, 1212-1213, 1216, 1218, 1220, 1230, 1235, 1247 Eglinton: 7592 Birchmount: 7706, 7708 Queensway: 8026 Wilson: 8336 Arrow Road: 8406 As you can see, at least one vehicle from every bus division has VISION installed. Birchmount and Malvern are the only divisions with more than one VISION test vehicle, and Malvern is the only with at least three. Considering Malvern has ten such vehicles, compared to eight in the other divisions combined, it's highly likely that it'll be the first division to deploy them in revenue service.

I guess there is a change of plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bus_Medic Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Mount Dennis will be first. And the “mini fleet” of 20 odd vehicles will be run together for some months before they turn the guys loose to retrofit the whole division. any stragglers kicking around will be shifted there shortly.

That's a typo on the Mount Dennis Division Wiki page that I had to fix. (Also had to add 1219) Anyways, that being said, the corrected list should read as follows: Mount Dennis: 1006, 1212-1213 (3 total) Malvern: 1206-1207, 1216, 1218, 1220, 1230, 1235, 1247 (8 total) Other divisions: 7592 (EG), 7706, 7708 (BI), 8026 (QW), 8336 (WI), 8406 (AR) (6 total) P.S. has anyone really been monitoring fleet movements and updating the pages about the bus allocated by garage as well as the batch details?

TransitfanJW Posted December 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I don't think 1212 and 1213 actually moved to MtD. I remember someone reported them as MtD because they were showing up at the garage on a tracker, even though that was actually when they were first outfitted with VISION. Point being, I'm pretty sure they're still Malvern buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are running out of the division for testing and we have to repair them every time an issue arises (I have personally have had to work on 8336, 8406, 8026 and most of the hybrids including 1212 and 1213) in the past few weeks. All the months of sitting around have not been kind to them (especially the hybrids) and now that they are being used again, lots of issues are becoming apparent. The point is, there is no reason to argue over where they are based out of for the foreseeable future. Also, the OG VII's which were outfitted as test buses are not at Mt Dennis and have not been for months. I believe they may have been scrapped.

The question is, will these CAD/AVL units be trackable on NextBus? I'm sure they are still using the CIS/Trump units by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar_AC_23 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Arrow commenced training on the VISION buses on January 22. Later this year into 2019, Arrow will be getting 230 new Nova buses with the new VISION unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
