Doppelkupplung Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Honestly I think that the super lo may be the goldilocks bus for GO. But hey what do I know lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva5113 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 On 11/7/2018 at 6:07 PM, Viva5113 said: To summarize, York wants the buses removed after subway extension opens and lobbying to Metrolinx to go away, so metrolinx responded and select specific date. Meanwhile I just recived the email from York University (since I am current student) that indicating "We have let YRT know that we would welcome their return to campus until fare integration is achieved and we are awaiting their response. We have also asked Metrolinx to reconsider their decision to stop service to our campus until fare integration is achieved." Despite Rhonda's mind is changing, but wonder the agreement between TTC and York Region let it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus_Medic Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Unless they can be convinced to produce it in a 12’6” version, I’d doubt it. plus transport Canada would have to go over it? Or is it similar enough to its predecessors to be automatically approved? Apparently it’s just shy of 45’, so that’s kosher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2044 Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 The Enviro400XLB is built on the Volvo B8L chassis. Also, its body structure is different from the Enviro500. I think it may have to get certified by Transport Canada first. But as already noted by others, the Enviro500 SuperLo is already longer and can fit into more places at a lower height. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Other than ridding an Lothian DD bus, no clue what the different between this bus as well what I rode and GO Enviro500 since it not my field. I know UK/Europe DD bus have 2-3 door and having 8-12 wheels at the rear compare to GO 8 wheels, one door and carry 86? seated riders. Other than being longer to carry 100 seated riders and using Volvo B8L chassis, I let you and others to tell me and others what the different is and is it something Go may look at since it not my field and no plans to add it to my list.

Bravo Actual Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Quick question regarding the double deckers... Do they ever run on the 68b to Barrie route, or is it just the MCI's domain? I cant find an answer via google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doppelkupplung Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Anyone able to shed light on what these might be? As far as I know it’s the only unit with these things on top. I want to say it’s an air scoop like you’d find at the back of a newer xcelsior but I think I’m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drevil0208 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I believe I saw one of the original DDLs (8101-8125) in Metrolinx colours tonight on the 90. Couldn’t catch the unit number, but it definitely had no rear route number display screen. Anyone know how many of these have been refurbished? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
