Only BYD E-Bus a no show. 2252 was in the parade as well. <https://youtu.be/8mf7Imr2s3o> <https://youtu.be/A08q7BatFo4> A win for New Flyer and Proterra that their buses made it into the parade, and a loss for BYD at the end of the day.

I don't know if there are another BYD plated yet. For sure there is a training class today. The hill (Dolphin) at Pharmacy is nothing compare to the hill at Don Mills (near Graydon Haill).

Orion V Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Maybe it's a perception thing but these K9Ms look smaller than the XE40s and BE40s. Similar length wise to the LFSes. The section between rear door to front wheel is so short and the back doesn't look like it can hold too many seats either. The LFS wasted alot of its length with the curve front end but K9M has a pretty flat front end so I wonder where did all the space go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the curve, its the shorter wheelbase, meaning a lot has to overhang the front wheels that can't be used for much. I still find the original Orion VII's with the 38 seats the best low floor layout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still find the original Orion VII's with the 38 seats the best low floor layout. Not in the rear though. The change made in the rear with NGs made much easier circulation of customers (especially with standees). Still, the 7s as a whole just more spacious, even if it was just 2-3 feet more space behind the wheel wells compared to the LFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know much about this subject, they might be doing both Hill Testing AND Operator Orientation at the same time. Maybe they are training operators in the BYDs while mechanics from the depot are tracking how the bus performs on hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
