The order was shortened to 25 ONLY. We also were to get 32 more Deckers but they shortened the order on them to 25 as well. Says wiki (sorry for copy and paste) The order of 19 units in 2020 and 30 in 2021 was first mentioned in May 2019 for service expansion along existing routes.[1] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the order for 19 units in 2020 was deferred to 2021 and was revised for an order of a total of 55 units due to arrive in August 2021.[2] This was later revised to 25 units. Production and delivery of this order were then further delayed due to a global shipping and logistics shortage, among other challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

You're mixing up 2019 (32) and 2021 (25) for 57 as planned. Meanwhile something tells me these are not the D60LFR replacements. Those 16 units are supposed to be arriving in 2024.

UprisingCanadian Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 I stopped by Cullens and First Truck in Pt. Kells a couple of hours ago, and spotted four new deliveries. 22002 & 22012 at Cullens 23001 & 23005 at First Truck. Also, I believe that the Apex 2 bikerack (first seen on 18058) is the new standard bike rack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Express691 Posted May 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 In all honesty the 23000s May very well be another exercise off the 2021 order. Just have to find the right mayor’s council document. Edit: Option order for 15 more buses were exercised sometime in Q4 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busmanic92 Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Unfortunately that's not how it works. When newer meets the older, the newer takes over the older ones duties. Sadly the next old ladies go when these ones do come But when it's for expansion, or turn-me-down they may swap or send to other garage. So you may see them on the 44. Maybe even on trolley route during detours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transit Guy Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Jeez calm down, it’s not like CMBC randomly decided “screw it, we’re scrapping these now and they’ll never see the light of day for revenue service.” Testing and commissioning vehicles, especially in the transportation sector, is no simple overnight task. The entire process of inspecting, testing and commissioning transit vehicles usually takes up to about 6 months, especially during the start of a new order to make sure there’s no production errors and the vehicles & on-board amenities actually run without activating refreshing waterfalls in a driver’s compartment full of electrical components during their runs, especially if any new/updated features are being added. Judging by how long these units have already been in Metro Van, my guess is if everything goes well they’ll start making their way to HTC for testing in a month or so and enter revenue service about a month or so after, similar to how previous Xcelsior orders entered service, assuming nothing goes wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newtons: Bay 3: 324, 325, 342. Bay 5: R1 Bays 1 and & 8 closed. Scott Road: Bay 5: 321 Bays 3 & 4 closed. All relating to the R6 construction. Shouldn't this be under transit service discussion? I don't see anything regarding buses, just reorganizations for R6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TranslinkKid Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Clipper readers being installed on the 22xxx artics. Muni just so happens to be upgrading the readers on their buses. The Clipper logo will be covered up with Compass stickers, since the Clipper logo is part of the reader design. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
