I assume Fredericton, and possibly Sydney, but where else? North Sydney does. When I was there saw an Orion 1 pass, sorry no photo. Also you missed Corner Brook Newfoundland.

D40LF Report post Posted April 29, 2007 What about Truno Nova Scotia ? When I was in Truro I didn't see any transit buses, but of course that doesn't mean they don't run, just that I didn't see any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hfx_chris Report post Posted April 29, 2007 Truro does not have transit. Kings County does, they've got some D40LFs and Orion 1s. I think that's about it though.. I can't think of any others St. John's NL has a nice fleet, mostly New Looks and Classics, with a small handful of LFS' and Orion V's thrown in for good measure. I loved taking transit when I was in St. John's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about Miramichi or Bathurst, but their websites don't have anything about public transit on them. New Glasgow definitely doesn't. Mount Pearl NL is covered by St. John's Metrobus.

2822 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 Should have at least given Halifax a chance! Yes Halifax has a good Transit system and they have ferries that can be used with a bus transfer or transit fare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LF60 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 do you guys think it'd be very hard to patch togethor a fleet roster, incl fleet numbers, for every bus in atlantic canada? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hfx_chris Report post Posted April 30, 2007 Does this board even have any representatives from places like Sydney, Frederickton or Moncton? I can give you all of the information you need on Halifax. The details I have on St. John's Metrobus is... shaky at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D40LF Report post Posted April 30, 2007 Apparently Truro used to have a transit system until a few years ago, although I don't have any details. I do know that Corner Brook is composed entirely of Cutaways, didn't get to photo one as the car broke down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a.dicion Report post Posted May 1, 2007 Apparently Truro used to have a transit system until a few years ago, although I don't have any details. So did Bathurst, NB for a bit, IIRC they ran a couple of ex-CT Transit Classics leased from Dupont Trolley, after service was discontinued Dupont Trolley sold the buses to Charlottetown where they remain in service with Trius Tours.

M. Parsons Report post Posted May 1, 2007 cutaways? you mean fords? bah, those are not real busses No, a cutaway doesn't mean a Ford. It could be Ford chassis... GMC chassis...Workhorse chassis etc. And, It's a bus. Plain and simple. Edited By K.Lo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
