Wayside Observer Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 2 hours ago, transportationtoronto said: Interesting how they're going straight to a high volume route like the 35. Looks like they're expecting these to work like a charm which I don't see happening... From a test and evaluation standpoint, it makes sense to put them on a high volume demanding route. Â Jane also has some pretty good hills, too, in addition to the heavy loading. Â The whole purpose of testing and evaluating these buses is to determine what their operating characteristics are like and what their limitations are so a lightly used line with easy terrain and short service hours is an environment pretty much any bus will do well in but it isn't one that you'll learn a whole lot about the performance envelope etc. from. Â Remember, you don't learn very much when everything goes right. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict the TTC is about to learn a whole lot, more than they would ever want to know, about electric buses very soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XE40's and the K9M's were scheduled to be delivered by Q1 2019 but looks like that has been pushed back. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janitors at New Flyer could put a better bus together. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks. The Gemini seats are so comfortable. All in all it's a really good looking bus but I notice the 3 digit run box. I dont see us making much use from the extra digit...

G.A Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Nice to see Flyer back in Toronto. I'm sure there will be lots of photos appearing some how before going into service if you catch the drift. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lip Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I'm surprised the TTC went frameless windows for the XE40s. I wonder what the factor went into making that decision. In either case, this will certainly be a nice change from NovaBus which i personally detest for various reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LFS in Toronto was one of those yay wow moments. But now there are so many of each model there, the excitement goes away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lip Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 ^To be honest I dont care that there are X different bus models operating in Toronto, the thing that bothers me the most is that we got such a large quantity of a quacked up bus (Nova's) to say.

I'm curious as to what the weight difference is between framed and non-framed; those full size panes have to be pretty porky...and more expensive...
