Simultaneously. South is a completely different contract, and went to a different group than the East and West contract. But both the East and West have their own separate timelines, that are concurant (until the 1st side, east, is finished and opened earlier) Edited September 20, 2019 by corynv doubled what i said, so deleted the extra part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdgta2008 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 From what I understand STO's Gatineau garage is closed on weekends and all buses running are based out the Hull garage; leaving STO's newer and more fuel efficient vehicles parked on the weekends. Should it not be the reverse to offset fuel costs....? Please tell me the 2020 HEVs will be sent to Hull to replace the 02's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCIBUS Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 I dought it, but you never know? Most likely they'll send them to Gatneau garage and send the oldest from Gatneau to Hull garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been scouring this website trying to answer the same question. But it'll probably suffer the same fate that OC Transpo's historical fleet did. It'll be left in the yard rotting away, nothing ever being done with it. But who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STO_1601 Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Does the next STO hybrid order still stand 43 or have they ordered even more? Also, Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is gonna be the largest order in STO history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OC Transpo/STO Fan Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 How much of an improvement is the EMP fan system on the D60LFRs over the single hydraulic fan on the D60LFs in terms of cooling the engine? Additionally, I read somewhere that there were complaints early on about the fan sound on the D60LFRs. Have they done anything to reduce this sound?

By next fall. They were originally supposed to take it over this fall however thanks to LRT delays and what not, the STO won't be ready until then.

tomsbuspage Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 I know that OC Transpo like to use file photos on their website, but there's a photo of 9839 on their O-Train/Transitway stations page, a bus retired in January 2011: https://www.octranspo.com/en/our-services/stations1/ 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCIBUS Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 What I find funny about the LRT is when it leaves a station it(feels like) speeds up and then suddenly slows down for a second or two then speeds up again. It feels as the driver "Chicken's out" as tries to go faster then 'Chicken's out' and slows down. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL They're computer controlled, so it's just the computer reacting to new speed limits or targets along the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it caught fire, there would be black smoke billowing out of the bus. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A coolant leak is a normal break down of any bloody vehicle. I can tell you, it did happen to 1201, 1202 and 1203, however, it was never really noticed because there was only 3 of them and they were only used Monday-Friday. How often did you go out looking for runs 700-1 thru 700-4? Probably rarely because you were a kid when we had them. How often did they have an artic assigned? Quite a bit. Why? Because the DDs were dead for repairs. Why do the 8000s and 8100s break down more than the 1200s did? Because there is nearly 45x as many of them! Every bus, hell every vehicle will have a mechanical failure. Included in mechanical failures is coolant leaks. The only reason this one was noticed is because some bloody moron thought the bus caught fire because he is biased against OC. Grow some bloody common sense! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
