With the exception of 4618, all mentioned units are new this week and do NOT have licence plates. I did take pictures, but will post them on request only. 4626 is there too, its parked away from the rest of the buses though on the Tomlinson Side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 4603-256 at the Nicholas off-ramp ~4:25 this afternoon 4605-86 at Hurdman ~4:35 this afternoon Also, not a bus spotting, but I saw what I thought resembled a mini-motorcade taking a right from the SE Transitway towards Riverside. The motorcade was formed of 3 black cars with flashing lights on the inside, 1 sedan at the front and 2 Cadillacs tailing. Happened at 4:35.

romanr27 Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 I know @STO_1601 had maintained a list of the first nine units, but I thought I'd post an updated one. There are 20 in service so far. In service, spotted or confirmed by @Enviro_1203 : 4601, 4602, 4603, 4604, 4605, 4606, 4607, 4608, 4609, 4610, 4611, 4612, 4613, 4614, 4615, 4616, 4618, 4621, 4623, 4624, 4625, 4626, 4627 At City View (as spotted by @JCL) : 4619, 4631*, 4634 *not confirmed at City View but @whistler saw it on the 417 this week so it seems likely 4617 not listed above, it was at the OTE but hasn't been spotted at City View nor been confirmed/spotted in service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistler Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Spotted 4627 earlier. Still can’t get over how quiet these are. I like the Invero but Ottawa will be a more peaceful place once they are gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HB_1024 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 They'd be fine if they had padding in them like they're supposed to. No idea who screwed that up. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the flip-up seats either, you'll fly out of them when the bus takes off or makes turns if you're not careful. I'm also not sold on the ZF transmissions being a good idea either, from a passenger's perspective at least the shifting seems to be fairly jerky and uncertain. I suppose if they turn out to be reliable long-term then it's a moot point. The A/C working beyond just the priority seats at the front is nice though, as is the rear-facing NSAS display.

OC Transpo/STO Fan Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I don't find the American Seating Vision seats bad at all. In fact, I find that the seats in the Inveros, hybrids, and D60LFs are also not bad. They're both just as comfortable for me. The ZF transmission is the only issue I have with this bus but I will soon be riding one to test it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
