Articulated Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Port Hope Transit has recently taken delivery of 3 new ProMaster CS-2 buses. They were obtained as part of the Metrolinx TPI, and are partially funded with federal PTIF money; the municipal contribution comes from their Provincial Gas Tax reserve fund. The buses are numbered 801-803, with fleet numbers displayed on the rear door only. Judging by how they reuse fleet numbers, the 2012 Arboc (also numbered 803) must have been retired by now. The staff report below mentions they have a maximum passenger capacity of 7. To my knowledge, Port Hope is the only system using these buses in conventional scheduled service. https://porthope.civicweb.net/FileStorage/260409238B614A97816D4CB3E04E682F-5.1.1 Mar 20 18 J Davidson re Transit Pilot Prj Up.pdf 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 That is very interesting thanks for the heads up. Chimnissing Transit also uses a ProMaster for their service. Unsure if it is the standard van door or not. Sarnia Transit 1710 & 1711 are usedin regular service at times as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuamumble Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Thread bump: Back in August 2018, I recall seeing Port Hope Transit 141 in service on route B. I'm not sure if it's still operating or if one of the ProMasters replaced it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
