Hopefully those awful Proterras won't be around for too long. What a terrible bus design

TTC should retire them prematurely or hand them down to that small funeral home division in Etobicoke

TTC wants to give you an all new electric bus garage. 

[Highway of Heroes]

3715 has moved back from Arrow Rd Garage to Birchmount Garage and has reentered service on route 12 Kingston Rd this morning

3724 has reentered service on route 84 Sheppard West this morning but not tracking on TransSee

3720 2024 Pride Month Wrap bus is at Wilson Garage right now for some reason that I don't know of.

They look like the 70xx hybrid cousins but this lacks the "ElectricVehicle" decal on the side. Come to think of it, the Nova vehicles from 2023 had reused the fleet numbers from the 1991 and 1996 Orion V diesels (ironically the 70xxs were originally going to be the Nova Classics) and the 1990 New Flyer D40s.

Not all of them. Since you live in Etobicoke @Genius101, Arrow's routes there are 36, 96/996 and 927. Take my word!

3725 3729 3731 3733 3736 3737 3738 3740 3741 3742 3744 3745 are all inactive

Based on what information, the e-buses have been constantly going in and out of service for large chunks of time since we've gotten them, how is this different?

What exactly qualifies as "inactive"? They haven't been in service in one week?

[FlyerD901]

With the 6000 coming in, I would assume the TTC will get rid of the Proterras and BYD buses. 

This order should replace the remaining 2nd Gen hybrids and 8100/8300 units. And probably the 8400, which I can't wait for.

Most of these buses haven't seen service for several weeks, some of them have been mia for months. Most of them are parked near the main entrance at MtD. Also, in order to keep the other units on the road, some of the buses I listed have had some of their parts harvested from them. This is coming from a very reliable source that I have.

I mentioned this in another thread the other day mass retirement of the Orion NGs and 3Gs is on the horizon. If Ebuses and hybrids are off the table what will Queensway receive to replace them? The only options are Eglinton’s 8620s or maybe McNicoll’s 9200s and 3100s.

3749 recently returned to service.

are drivers being trained on the bus or is the xe40s from 2018 basically the same and no need for training on these busses?

That depends if there are different features on the latest buses.  Drivers from Mount Dennis who have been trained on driving  nova artic got training on 40 foot nova . 40 foot nova has a bigger tail swing on 70 foot nova

62 foot. No need to over exaggerate it lol

Nova 6600 should be at Arrow today. If not today , tomorrow.

It will be a pilot bus, and be toured around to various garages before more LFSe are delivered. 

[Mar_AC_23]

6600 has been delivered to Arrow

[FabianColeyLOVESBUSES]

6601 is now delivered to Arrow Road Garage.

[Highway of Heroes]

Any photos of the 66xx being at Arrow Road Garage?
