Seashore_518203 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I recently found out that Matt Carpenter (CPTDB username Matt C) is now the Director/General Manager at Ann Arbor Transportation in Ann Arbor, MI. It must have been very recent that he moved on from being the Director of Strathcona County Transit. I know he was working on a 40th anniversary booklet for SCT. I wonder how that is going or if this project will now be on hold seeing as he has moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how that is going or if this project will now be on hold seeing as he has moved on. It's pretty recent he left. 6 months at least, maybe even longer. I unfortunately haven't heard anything further on the booklet since he left. It's too bad too. I think he did some great things for Strathcona County Transit.

Seashore_518203 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Have the new double deckers for SCT arrived on property yet? Five were observed at the ABC Bus Facility in Nappanee, Indiana in early April. The VINs for five buses seen were: SFETAM841FGN14334 SFETAM849FGN14338 SFETAM849FGN14341 SFETAM842FGN14472 SFETAM846FGN14488 The buses did not have fleet numbers applied at this point. I do not know if the order was for only five or if it was more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Look Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 A question and a spotting: Spotted ex-SCT #905 parked in a lot on 99 Street just north of 63 Ave. Wondering if anyone has spotted #8006 back in service? Or was it a write-off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted June 15, 2016 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Spotted 8019 in service today! Front end looked like OC Transpo's, not GO Transit's latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millennium2002 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I just wished Alexander Dennis just settled on a consistent design, vs changing it so often that it resembles a lottery. But anyhow, those are some sharp looking buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_harris01 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Just saw 8020 downtown on the 411 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Look Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 8020 already appears to have a slight dent below the driver's side window, unless my eyes deceived me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_harris01 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Saw this out by Elk Island NP today is it a former SCT nova suburban bus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Nope, custom build. VIN plate even lists it as a bookmobile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did leave SCT and started at AAATA in Ann Arbor in mid 2015. The SCT history book did eventually get finished. It may come out in the Strathcona Library sometime in the future: "Public Transit in Strathcona County: The First 57 Years". Keep checking the library's on-line catalog. Over 150 photos back to 1949. If not for photo collectors throughout the years, we couldn't have done it. Martin gets photo credits along with Bill Luke, Brian Sullivan, David Onedera, Kevin Knoll, Paul Ledger, Peter Cox, and Peter McLaughlin. Thanks to you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awstott Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 That's the Paling Allouette that Strathcona Fire had. Ex SCT 904. http://www.barp.ca/bus/alberta/sct/1968paling/index.html Looking at the auction listing there was 5 classics that went through on the 24th as well.
