Rider shortened the service to London. ONEX seems to be taking that corridor over. Hopefully they actually run the proper equipment this time.

Mark Walton Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 I used OnEx for a Toronto-Kitchener (Sportsworld) trip May 22. I found it OK but not spectacular. Left from 44 York, beside Royal York Hotel, trip time ~ 90 minutes, same for return trip. Going out, my bus was KL03, which appears to have an ex-Greyhound fleet number (1256?) on the forward roof. The picture I took of it is 10 MB+ so I couldn't post it. I didn't get a picture of my return bus, nor did I note its number, but it was painted mostly black. The operator was D2D Limousine services or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again this bus was meant to go to scrap with all the other non rebuilt units. Also interesting is has a non valid MTO inspection sticker. Makes you wonder what kind of maintenance their buses see, if any at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was was suppose to get the current blue wrap job to look like the X3s. I was told that the buyer from the auctioned sold the working units with a Safety, Semi Annual Inspection and Under body. It's quite obvious the shop used does not really do inspections on buses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got me to Kitchener safely and on time, so I really can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulated Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Onex Bus has picked up a second ex-Greyhound Canada MCI D4505 unit. This one is numbered KL05, and is one of the units that received an LED destination sign: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auction from the US, Chicago Area They may have another J4500 which may have some wrap from Southeastern Stages, the bus was also pick up from Auction in the US. Not sure if it was a state owned bus.

Not sure if it was a state owned bus. KL35 is definitely ex-Southeastern Stages with that paint scheme. They have added some OnEx coloured lines to it though. It was the 11:00 AM eastbound departure from London today destined to Toronto. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
