This board's service summary lists the 3700s XE40 as 25 and 3750s BYDs as 10 in service. The Proterras have been removed from the fleet summary.

Considering how many errors there are in the service summary for the current board period - including some glaring ones on the very page that you referenced - I am surprised that the Proterra buses have (correctly) been removed from the active roster as shown in that document.

And it's safe to say these vehicles are most likely retired or not. But we will see.

For those who don’t realize why it says 2042 and 1362 for number of buses in batch. That two is suppose to be a small two to indicate delivery is progress.

I noticed on the tracker that no LFS electrics are in service today? Or am I wrong?

Yes, lots of these units are at North Queen. I'm not really sure about why do they temporarily suspend LFSe+ runs.

The fleet of LFSe+ buses have been grounded temporarily due to an issue with the barriers. None will return to service until a bulletin from Novabus rectifying the issue is released, and corrective repairs are completed.

Probably just a training bus. There was an artic logged like that last week on the 45.

TTC seems to be distance-testing an XE40 today. 6087 went out on one of the 99 runs just after 4am this morning, and ran in as scheduled at 1:36pm; it then went back out one one of the afternoon 99 runs just 25 minutes later at 2:02pm, and just completed its last trip arriving at the garage at 10:22pm. It did miss one round trip at 8:30pm, during which time it was inside the garage (IMO, likely recharging).

While the 99 is probably one of the less taxing routes in the system for an eBus due to being short trips, carrying few passengers and has more layover/waiting time than most routes, it's still remarkable that it was out for 18 hours today with only two short breaks.

I was told that the TTC is also working on chaning the accleration to increase the range of the bus but i havent gotten any updates on it. I know that sometimes flyer will do long range and also highway testing for numbers, defenatily seems that the time it was out is longer than normal so hopfull its a step in the right direction for the TTC in terms of having the buses on the road more
