D40LF Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 All three artics on the ICE this morning, in numerical descending order (3702-3701-3700). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlo86 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 That was what i thought originally but the map clearly shows 1 st sw to 9 avenue s to centre street...atleast the 901. 902 goes up Macleod to access 5 avenue to memorial then up deerfoot http://www.airdrie.c...it/Route901.pdf http://www.airdrie.c...it/Route902.pdf The Google Map links show differently though, so I am not entirely sure either. http://www.airdrie.ca/transit/ice.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsgeek540 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I can confirm that a 901 cross 5 avenue at centre street north today. Given the fact that wb 6 ave to centre is currently a no right turn, the only other option would be 9 ave to centre. Yet if you look at the am and pm trips, it shows the am trip from dt to airdrie 9-c and the pm trips 9-mac-5-mem so idk why 1 was firing up centre tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 The bus also has no front doors, and appears to be right hand drive...... Looks like one of there D60LFRs before the livery was applied and the photo is inverted.. The one in the photo that you posted is of a C40LFR, C35LFR or C30LFR. Not a D60LFR at all.

I guessed D40LFR, since pre-wrapped, the Winnipeg buses would look the same with their roof-mounted HVACs if cut off at that angle, although the one in the PDF is alot more of a 45 degree angle than a 90 degree curve. That and to be honest, I haven't seen a D60LFR with those style of HVACS, just the tiny "Thermo King" ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 You can clearly see that the shape of that rooftop unit in that little photo is the same shape as what is found on the CNG models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Saw 3711 on Friday in downtown Calgary. So did I! Also, On Friday, I actually saw all 3 D60LFR's as well. It appears they've added another trip in the afternoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Calon Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Just saw 901 a couple moments ago NB on 36th street NE at Marlborough station, just in regular traffic. WTF? He's way off route and on one of the slower means for getting north.... Anyone know why? Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen an Aidrie unit on 52nd Street once btw. I have seen this too. Was a little confused at first but if you look at the routing, it actually makes a lot of sense. Given the fact the prescribed routing out of Calgary from the core is via 5 avenue, memorial drive to deerfoot, if there is an issue on deerfoot, continuing to barlow, 36 or 52 are the only options given their location. Either that or sit in the traffic on deerfoot. Of course they could have rerouted before they left the core but the driver was probably made aware of the issue pulling up to deerfoot.

Seashore_518203 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 From an article in "Airdrie City View" on February 13th, it appears that one more 40' bus is on order for this year. http://m.airdriecityview.com/article/20130213/ACV0801/302139953/0/acv0801/intercity-express-passengers-will-soon-pay-more-for-service&template=JQMArticle From a fleet list survey provided by CUTA, it is a Nova LFS. I do not know when delivery will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 The buses are packed during service hours, I can see more buses on the way to help out on the heavy loads, I realy think they should use the shuttle buses for regular service to Calgary to help with the costs. Its a 25 minute drive to Saddeltown Station from Airdrie, then another 20 minute LRT ride to the core. Good to hear the fleet is growning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a 25 minute drive to Saddeltown Station from Airdrie, then another 20 minute LRT ride to the core. Good to hear the fleet is growning. Is it possible that they might possibly upgrade an Airdrie route to a full-size bus from an Arboc, even with extra ICE demand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isnt much there in the first place! Is it possible that they might possibly upgrade an Airdrie route to a full-size bus from an Arboc, even with extra ICE demand? Did you read the article?

The first LFS has been in service for some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1604 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 https://twitter.com/...392777279266817 @AirdrieTransit Our 5th ICE bus went into production this week. Excited to add this bus to the fleet in May ^CM There's some other interesting stuff on their twitter page, including a shot of the wrap on the rear of 3711.
