LRT Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 He’s right about the Electric shuttles at SG but will be delayed. Novas can only be run out of SG and SF VP has a bunch of 7700s not sure what they could be replaced with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that’s why CT hasn’t procured any artics lately, they’re still waiting for the debut of the new Arboc SOF27+27 “Twin Freedom”. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be coupled back to back so that the customers can move between vehicles through the rear door. Also the operator can just switch cabs at the end of the route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transit Apologist Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) If the 7700’s transferred to Stoney have indeed seen their last kilometre, then keep an eye out for the following MIA units: 7722, 7742, 7743, 7759, 7763, 7764, 7779. Also look for 7723, as that bus was spotted at Anderson and ran on October 18 but hasn’t been active anywhere since.

Transit Apologist Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 7750 was sent to Stoney and the word is it will most likely never run again. 6 minutes ago, New Flyer Fan 27 said: Does anyone have any new status updates on bus 7750 is this bus retired yet?

New Flyer Fan 27 Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Thank you very much it's very sad to see that particular bus go because it was one of the best and had awesome axles. Please post an update when they are scrapping # 7750 thank you very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t really comment any further than that because I don’t work for CT and don’t have exact stats about their reliability, but I will say the 7600’s did not need their engines rebuilt when they were only 6 years old… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
