3190 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I’m hearing that 1086 may have faced a fatal mechanical last night on the 935 at Jane & Alliance and I assume that it’s likely done, popped a traction motor apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe @BusFanForevercan provide us with more information since he works at Mount Dennis and has kept track of every single unit that has retired.

It wasn’t sounding too great recently. It was one of 3 units that retained its original odometer, clocking in over 1 million km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Related question: how much kilometers does the average bus rack up in a year? I’m pretty sure after rebuild TTC considers the bus as 0km on the odometer, so for the OGs it’s double the mileage than they show. 1.4-2.0M km (OGs) since rebuild so divide that by years in service since rebuild and you’ll get an answer. So my guess a TTC buses average about a few hundred thousand kms per year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the garages so jam packed that they can't keep the retired buses awaiting scrap? Seems like a waste of time and money to tow it from the garage to NQ when Langilles could pick it up from the garage it was decommissioned at. Unless it was decommissioned at NQ (if that's even possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it was decommissioned at NQ (if that's even possible) Well 8023 was decommissioned at Mount Dennis so I guess after they’re done with it they leave it at NQ. They did this with 8065 as well.

Related question: how much kilometers does the average bus rack up in a year? I'd be surprised if there's a standard mileage. Buses out all day on long fast suburban express routes can rack up a lot more than a bus plodding up and down Sherbourne or Pape. But the latter may have more wear from all the starts/stops and passenger loads. Plugging in a million km, and assuming the bus is on the road 360 days of the year (unrealistic!) that's 154 km per day. 360 days a year. For 18 years. I think that's pretty respectable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's safe to say 8022 is done, It's still tracking in the dead lot and has been there for over 2 weeks now. 1/3 79xx units are out at the moment: 7941 - 501 Queen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
