Also to HTC is 9473

All these transfers were done after the morning rush hour.

9480 to Hamilton

9668 9669 9671 9672 are 4 novas to VTC. Perhaps for today only since their entire diesel fleet is out.

The 4 ex Nova's from BTC are now looking like keepers to VTC? I'm sure they will be shipped off to RTC in next near future?

Its 5 or 6; 9683 went as well in case you weren't aware; and 9670 will presumably be there as well

Also 9454 is at HTC; come to think of it, only 4 more 2018 HEVs need to be delivered!

It's true guys, no joke.

I know it was. It was on the 143 yesterday, PTC just doesn't want any DE60LFR's hey? Here's my solution: transfer the remaining 2016 XDE60'S to RTC and any 2015 XDE60'S to kill the D60LF'S and then transfer any remaining 2015 XDE60'S at BTC to PTC. The XDE60'S are not bad on hills.

The other logical compromise is that RTC was able to free up artics due to seasonal reductions on the 480

If PTC is willing to take 8022 of all busses, then it's clear that hill-climbing abilities are not being prioritised here. This sounds more like PTC is just desperate for artics of any type and RTC was conveniently able to give one away at this time

If hill-climbing is actually a priority, it would be easier to transfer some of HTC's 2014 XN40s

Considering how the 143/145 have reduced service during the summer, though, it more sounds like PTC wants any type of bus for routes like the 150

Looks like PTC is putting more artics on the 701 these days. Instead of 1-2 a day there's 5 artics on the 701 right now. I assume this is to boost capacity on the route until the Lougheed B-Line begins?

I'm not fully familiar with the 701 route but I would imagine so. I got a feeling the 47 XDE60 19000's will be split between HTC (41 st ave B-line), STC (96 B-line) and maybe PTC or whoever gets the Lougheed B-line.

There were none out this past weekend (despite all 701 blocks being separate) so...

I've heard the DE60LFRs are going to HTC, although that was a couple months ago
