H4 5600 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 164 made it out again today on college express. Credit goes to the IG account in the screenshot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A Posted May 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 164 still continues to provide service for the time being. My local source has informed me that there are two LFS due for the fall of this year or early next year. This will possibly be replacements for some of the 2008 EZ Rider buses.

H4 5600 Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 164 got a blown compressor earlier this week according to the driver on the 16 today. The 16, which usually has 164, has been using el dorados for the last few days. Now if only i knew that before i wasted my time coming here .

Billy Skywalker Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Well first I want to thank those who shared my Instagram posts about 164. Second I want to spread the news that Sarnia is getting 3 new buses this year. 082 and 083 are being retired. Sarnia is also considered CNG buses in the future. It's about time they made use of that 28 million dollar grant they received for transit upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember it was rebuilt and not really used while at DRT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 They also need it for the College Express because the capacity is greater on a high floor bus, especially on a route going to Lambton College. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in true Sarnia Transit fashion, they used an Arboc on the College Express route today. But yes 164 is staying around until 2022. Our EZ Riders need replacing first. They're all pretty much falling apart. 164 on route 16 last Friday 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2044 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Did all of Sarnia’s ex-Bakersfield Orion Is get new seats or did any of them keep the original grey interior with cushioned seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A Posted March 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 121 the 2012 EZ Rider has apparently been retired in 2020. Bus 071 has been retained as the maintenance vehicle after 033 the 2003 Ford Girardin was removed from that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarniaTransit Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 202, a 2020 Nova LFS was spotted at MRT. Blue stripe is on, but no grey under the stripe. Looked like it was just doing initial testing, sign had 17B School Special. Same specs but with new vents above taillights. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarniaTransit Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 204 has been spotted at Macfarlane Chevy. It is a Glaval Overland Custom. im not sure if that makes 203 a nova or a cutaway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarniaTransit Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 191 & 204 have been spotted at Macfarlane Chevy. Both are Glaval Overland Custom. im not sure if that makes 203 a nova or a cutaway, more than likely a cutaway looking at the budget for last year.

Next time you're in the area and they are still there can you grab a photo? It's quite interesting that they did not order from Arboc considering they acquired a stack of them in 2017. Hopefully this does not spell the end of the Orion V. I did hear that 121 was apparently retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can try to yes! i think they'll probably keep 164 around like they did with 791 the fishbowl and use it for event shuttles and the college express. it'll probably come back to the roads when service goes back up to full service. As for 121, I haven't seen it in a while and there are 3 EZ’s sitting out back with parts starting to be stripped from them so safe to assume 121 is one of them.

And 121 hasn't been tracking since the pandemic restrictions started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarniaTransit Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 201 & 202 are in service today. 201 on the 14 and 202 on the 9. Both are sporting the new High Visibility Package with the 2/3 1/3 front doors and new driver window. Both are missing the grey under the blue stripes and both the stripe and the grey on the back, similar to 164. They also have an external camera above the front top corner of the driver windows, but no other that i could see. Was able to get a picture while driving beside 202 on Exmouth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A Posted June 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 082, 111 and 121 are retired. 164 is parked outside as well still plated but looks to have not moved in a very long time. 204 has only a fleet number and logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
