Citaro Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 It is indeed a high floor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Shuttle Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Any idea if these numbered as a continuation of ARBOC (19550-19554) or separately (19551-19555)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continuation, just like every other year. 17501-17505, 17506-17564 | 18501-18509, 18510-18527 | 19501-19549, 19550-19554. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8010 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 What's the point in ordering 5 high-floors if they could've just ordered 5 ARBOCs for 2020? Before the COVID situation happened I don't think much Community Shuttle expansion was even planned for this year and if they're just replacement units I'm sure whatever 5 units are in the best condition could survive another few months/another year.

Community Shuttle Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 All CMBC ARBOCs in service.

Turns out WVMT got four of the 49 ARBOCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(rich land) Not gonna lie I'm getting annoyed with West Van taking the ARBOCs as well. They've already taken a bunch of the RTC XD40s, and now they're taking a few of the HTC ARBOCs and leaving us with 5 random Girardins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, the Girardins are better, but I kinda agree, West Van (and First) should be getting what stuff CMBC doesn’t want, not poaching the good stuff.

Express691 Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 A bus is a bus, and transporting people should be prioritized regardless of bus model/type. That being said, I have seen some negative feedback from drivers and riders alike regarding these shuttles (steep wheelchair ramp and the overall design). Nonetheless, if Victoria is so used to them, then I'm sure that CMBC will as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand why most people think the Girardins are better than ARBOCs, but as a 6'4" individual my main complaint about the Girardins is the lower clearance compared to the ARBOCs. I understand the complaints on the overall design of the ARBOCs as well, they are far from perfect but IMO the interior layout is better. As @Express691 said, a bus is a bus. Even if I disagree with some of the choices they've made when it comes to ordering and managing their buses at least we are getting more and more buses on the roads every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it makes sense that 19553/19554 are at First Transit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
