MaT Posted November 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 So far the Orion VIIs still in service are as follows, and there may be more that I haven't seen yet.

Was checking out Flixbus this morning and they have a new bus stop sign that also says MegaBus on it to, so I guess Mega Bus must going to start servicing Windsor, on the Toronto - Detroit - Chicago route. Will have to check their website. Talk to you later. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaT Posted November 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 441 was NOT removed from service in May of 2022 like it says in their bid listing. I have pictures of it driving in service on November 3rd. It also lists the bus as a 2002 when in fact it is a 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaT Posted January 10 Author Report Share Posted January 10 438 is unplated. 439 is still plated in the garage. So now I'm assuming both are retired. Time will tell. My mistake from earlier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaT Posted January 12 Author Report Share Posted January 12 Ok so I seen an Orion 7 on the road today near the garage, so im assuming that is 439. If I find any more numbers in service, I'll keep you guys posted. But as far as I know 439 is the last one. When it is done and unplated I'll post it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girardin71 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 I have notice that 8047 is missing the fleet number above the entrance door didn't have time to take a photo. 8018 broken down coming into the Tecumseh Mall near the LCBO. 8050, 8052 are still not in service from the 8046-8069 order.

Girardin71 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 8050 and 8052 have entered service, probably all Orion VIIs are retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaT Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 439 is remaining on the roster for 2023. We did a miss-count when accounting for all the buses the new novas were retiring. Including 439 and all the new novas, Transit Windsor has 117 buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaT Posted January 24 Author Report Share Posted January 24 The new paper route maps are out now in circulation. Front side has the city map with the terminal maps at the bottom. Back side has the usual written info plus route maps for the 605, 42 and the tunnel bus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
