We better hurry and try to catch a ride on one before it's too late! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 It depends if the STO is interested in fleet expansion, it also depends what they do with their new garage in Gatineau. They could very well keep a few Classics in storage. I have not been able to procure a fleet roster from them despite being a charter customer for years. It would seem like a wasted investment for them to have purchased those ex-Calgary Classics if they were going to retire them right away. Then again, perhaps those buses were merely a stopgap measure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTL66 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I saw an STO Artic hybrid 1706 a few weeks ago. From what I was told, the classics are no longer being rebuilt and being retired as soon as the cost is too great to repair them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Calgary classics were recently rebuilt, my guess is that they will be the last to retire, maybe in 5 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the RTC has any on order for now. They just completed delivery of a rather large order of 36 buses, and also the 23 artic hybrids last year. RTC will have Van Hool hybrids for route 21 though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone will be route 21 and route 11 will be still in service.

Based on what I've seen with the Delivery of 21802 at RTL, as well as buses seen at trade shows such as UITP earlier this year... that's a solid nope! Expect more of the same.
