Mark Walton Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I remember the first of those in the late 1980s. Classic 8544, done in a mostly black scheme for CHEZ-FM, was often knocked for looking like a hearse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCIBUS Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I think I have some of the pics from back then. Need to look them up, scan them and post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you can scan them better than you did in the Blast from the past 2 (or even 3) thread, then there's no need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still didn't have wraps by 1998? I find that bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no, the New Flyer and Orion were wrapped, but the three Classics were painted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STO_1601 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 6500-04 were formerly wrapped for Ottawa 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC Transpo Route 95 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Wasn't sure if this topic/thread was just for current wrapped OC buses or past OC wrapped buses as well. Anyways, with all this time at home now, I recently had time to clean out my hard drive. While doing so, I found a few pictures I took of wrapped OC buses over the years. In order posted: 8068 wrapped for Jackson-Triggs Wines/Ottawa 2017 (taken October 26, 2017 at Bayshore Station); 6503 wrapped for Ottawa 2017 (taken May 10, 2017 at Robertson and Moodie); 5085 wrapped for the Ottawa Citizen (taken August 19, 2014 at Hurdman Station); 4451 wrapped for the Ottawa Senators/NHL 2012 All-Star Game (taken March 17, 2012 at Confederation Square); 5073 wrapped for the Ottawa Green Bin Program (taken April 13, 2011 at Bayshore Station); 4463 wrapped for Tourism India (taken September 19, 2009 at Baseline Station). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC Transpo Route 95 Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Finally, a few more photos, as these could not fit into my first post. My personal favourite wrapped bus: 6394 wrapped up to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Transitway (2008). I took these three photos on June 20, 2009 along Riverside Drive at Mooney's Bay Park. 6394 was doing the Dragon Boat Festival Shuttle. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enviro_1203 Posted March 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Went into my archive of old photos looking for a photo of my favourite wrap of all time to no avail, however, I have found this shot of 4433 I took at Hurdman in 2009 when it was wrapped for uOttawa 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCIBUS Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Here's a list of some of the ADS/Wrap buses from the late 1980'/90' Classics & NFI's. It should bee noted In the "Notes" at the time I made the list that's when the dates or 'still in use' was noted at that time. Going thru my OC files, I'll be posting some other interesting OC facts in "Vintage/old/Historical thread" in the next few days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud-Invero Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I must say, I'm wildly impressed... My photos may not be old per say as I only started in 2017, but I'm sure I can contribute meaningfully. 5101, 8003 and 8064 were wrapped as school buses (Videotron) in 2018 and 2019 5117 was wrapped for Prince Edward Island and Moosehead 5121 was wrapped for CHEZ 106.1 8001 and 6500 was wrapped for "The Universe Needs More of Canada" October 1st, 2018 Also, 5077's wrap was updated on the left side at some point.

MCIBUS Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Nice pics!! I'm just curious as to why on the DD Buses the top two side front windows are not covered in the ad? I can understand the one next to the front door as it gives the driver a clear view to the right side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud-Invero Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 More info (and better quality photos) of old ad wraps/paintjobs. It also links to a Yahoo transit fan page which contains even more photos, but unfortunately I'm not a member of the group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Spotted a Nova LFS downtown with a full wrap for Koodo Mobile. Didn’t get the number but I believe it to be a 47xx series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for 30 Minutes Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 I quite like the Koodo wrap. It looks a bus livery. Koodo Transpo. No kudos for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
