I suppose the reason would be for the increase in capacity needed on the 20 since the frequency between buses dropped with the 19/20 merger. I've never been on the C but if OTS is shifting buses around I wouldn't be surprised if ridership dropped a bit on the C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microbus Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Route C, doesn't get that much people on, its better to say, they can be left out with the 40ft gillig lowfloors, gillig phantoms, or novabus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamv Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Listed on CPTDB Wiki as “On Order” for 2022. If 6001-6040 are really XE60s, Honolulu would have one of the largest articulated electric bus fleets in North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, on the wiki, its listed as XD60s with Cummins L9 330HP and Allison B500R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamv Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Reports in this forum indicate 40 new 60-foot buses are on order and bids are out for 35 more in the next 3 years. That’s enough to replace most of our existing articulated fleet or add to it. We desperately need new buses, but these orders are all for diesel! What happened to saving the planet with electric buses? Looks like the city and OTS have decided our infrastructure funds will be dedicated to smaller units until articulated electrics build up a longer history of success on the mainland.

I think OTS is doing exactly as you think. The electric bus technology is still new. It seems that Gillig has proven their 40 foot electric bus technology in terms of range, charging, and overall performance. I think NFI still has some proving to do with their XE60s as they haven’t been out on the market for long. I would have liked for the new 60 footers to be hybrid at the least but it seems that OTS doesn’t want to play ball with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I like it or not. While it is easier to distinguish from the rest of the routes, I think it puts more wear on the LEDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, Route C doesn’t have articulated busses anymore since according to an OTS bus operator there is a bridge along the route that can’t handle the weight of the articulated bussss.

Honolulu TheBus Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 A bunch of 800s are retired now, some aren’t black out yet, but I went to Pearl City and saw many phantoms parked and some were black out I saw 803 and 804 blacked out to meaning they are now retired.
