9924 Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 I do believe that the new 60fters are the first buses in the CMBC fleet to have 3 point belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted May 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Word going around is that this 214xx batch of deckers are total lemons and are undergoing various repairs and fixes. Order is delayed indefinitely. Also means that the Orions will be lasting much longer until then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

503FraserHwy Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 really, i don't expect to see these units in service until 2023 or even 2024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 I had an opportunity to talk to a maintenance employee, he said the new order came with the same issues the 2019 order had. He said they are taking their time to get all the issues corrected with the dealer on the island before they take them for service. The latest issue that popped up were water leaks.  Interestingly, he said our Decker's are the very first to come with ZF transmission, Electric doors, Roof Mounted tailpipe. The new design/features made for hiccups.   4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal drivers take a shower and then go to work. Double decker drivers go to work and then take a shower. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillip Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 21401 was being showcased at RTC today. I asked an instructor and he said 21401 has been accepted. Also, it does NOT have passenger seatbelts and yes it has a driver 3-point seatbelt. I hope this puts to rest the questions regarding seatbelts that people have asked in previous posts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busmanic92 Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 I can't wait until these show up on the 555. That's the route closest to me (cfv Abbotsford) Â I'll be looking forward 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transit Guy Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Would this be considered a slight fleet expansion since there are currently only 20 2001 Orions left? I know some units have been slowly retiring over the last year or so, but the suburban routes have been operating normally in their absence.
