general682002 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Last Sunday, I saw a bunch of LFS artic in assembly outside. Not too sure if it's STM or RTC as the 1/3-2/3 front door is a giveaway. I know RTC have made offical to make non-accessible on their latest buses as they have fixed seats rather having a wheelchair folding seats, which although their front door will be the smaller size and I haven't seen one yet.

Ummm, in that case they may not be for the RTC! I don't think the RTC would order that door setup, unless that is standard on all Novabus Artics.

M.Wright Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Ok everyone, time to crap your pants! Plenty of Artics on assembly line: That's a lot of artics! Those things are sure flying off the production line!I see at least 14 Artics (maybe another hiding behind the trees) and 1 3rd gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the rear seating arragement! Very nice pictures Sherman. I like the last one the best of course. I am disappointed we did not opt for the HID lights, those look nicer on the 3rd gens!

gmnewlook Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Those artics, aren't they destined for the RTC? I heard they were going to get them in late May and the STM's during the summer (late June?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT0603 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Looks as if you Montrealers are finally going to get a taste of air conditioning! Like the General said, they don't. All of thier Nova's have rooftop units, just for heating though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm_5307N Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Passed by the Nova plant this morning... - 4 new all white 3rd gen STM LFS's parked off to the side (same as in Sherman's pictures). Only number that was visible was 29-085. - There are now a ton of new all white Nova artics parked at the back of the plant. I'd say way over 20 of them! - There are also about 30+ new 40ft diesel 3rd gens for BC transit parked at the back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cogeno Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I was told by a driver the other day that we're apparently not getting any artics until 2011. So far, I've been told this year, 2010, and 2011. So, screw it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope novabus keeps them. Same here. Let's see if we can find out more about this. Steve, did you note down the unit numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. David Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I have a question about the third-gens that are awaiting delivery. Are they equipped with full-length side displays and electronic run boxes? I imagine they should have these by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
