PrimeTio Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 19 minutes ago, Elijah bey said: Oh I see I wonder what bus is it the best condition for the 8000 & 7900 fleet Also will there be a few 7900's and 8000's left in 2024 as well as the 1000's. The best conditioned 8000's bus would be 8065 I think. No one here knows what the “best” conditioned buses are, except for very certain members and mechanics. It all depends allocation, and basic shape, of the bus it’s self. If it’s based out of a division which operates 7 days a week, and 24 hours a day. It’s quite obvious which buses are in good condition, and which have higher mileage. Buses are out for almost 20 hours a day going through different road conditions. You can also tell if the bus is out of shape or not. Judging by the frame, exterior, interior, engine, and transmission of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCIBUS Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Would the TTC consider any possibility of adding any of these buses or other TTC Buses to their Historical fleet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulated Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 To add onto the discussion on "condition", that will often change on a daily basis as components age. If one of the best-running buses suddenly blows something expensive, or is involved in an accident, it'll be gone. Once a bus series gets in line for retirement, more cost-benefit decisions start occurring. If a repair requies too much money or manpower to fix, it'll hit the scrap pile. And as more new buses start arriving, that cost point will only decrease, until it starts becoming a search for any excuse to get rid of the last few buses. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have heard that 8065 is the best condition, so the answer might be 8065, I think, maybe. 15 hours ago, MCIBUS said: Would the TTC consider any possibility of adding any of these buses or other TTC Buses to their Historical fleet? Yes, the TTC should preserve enough LOUD HANDMEDOWN 7900s to fully operate 50 BURNHAMTHORPE. If they can send one or two out on 66 PRINCE EDWARD or 77 SWANSEA, from time to time, so much the better. (It does not take a genius to figure that out.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add onto this discussion, I would say Orion #8097 is a good bus to preserve, since it is quite a good unit, a lot of Operators like it. It rides a lot smoother and it runs well.

TransSee does not count, if you actually saw it, then it is confirmed. Besides, this is a RETIREMENT thread. I get that 8011 is retired, and mods, I am sorry if I caused a problem here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just didn't cross my mind to check the day ahead for some reason. Thanks for the correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
