Articulated Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Is Greyhound simply adding a 5 to the refurbished GCTC buses' fleet numbers? No. Greyhound subsidiaries in the US all have 5-digit fleet numbering. This bus has simply been transferred up from one of them. I'm not sure which specific subsidiary this one is from though. I have a photo of 51152 dating back to August 2013, so it's been in Canada for about a year or longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, I'm thinking it might be TNM&O; ex-Vermont Transit coaches were renumbered into the 4xxxx-series while ex-Carolina Trailways buses kept their 85xxx-series numbers when GLI bought them.

TNM&O generally had fleet numbers in the 3xxxx based off of what was transferred into Canada in the 34xx series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 51152 was orig. Golden State Transportation #51152 then went to GLI #51152 before being sent to GCT as #51152. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwesterner Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Its hard to believe anything is left over from the failed Golden State Transportation. They've been gone now for what, ten years? A quick google search shows that Golden State was busted for organized illegal immigrant smuggling by the INS in 2001. Jeeeeez I'm getting old.

roeco Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I assume 1096,7,8,1100 are all on the Island still along with some 3400 series. But is their any of the 6500 series still their or are they retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
translink fan Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I have question about the Bolt Bus and Greyhound scheds to Seattle from Vancouver. Mind you I never have ridden the 'Hound before at all so I am not familiar with the schedules so excuse my lack of knowledge of this. I compared the BoltBus and the Greyhound schedules to Seattle and found that both have about 4 or 5 departures (?) and the Greyhound departure time seem to fall in between most of Bolt's departures. Did greyhound intend to do this to give passengers more options in case of if one time or the other doesn't work for the rider? I was curious about this because I didn't know Greyhound would run a separate Seattle schedule when they rolled out BoltBus on the West Coast. Thanks guys!

ctrabs74 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 A few photos I took this past week: First image is at Chicago, rehabbed Van Hool 3269. Never thought I'd see a Van Hool get rebuilt: The next pic is the bus I rode from Cleveland to Chicago, taken at the service plaza in Elkhart on the Indiana Toll Road (one of the worst roadways I've riden on in a bus): The last three were taken during my layover at Cleveland. The first one is a rehabbed G series with the engine cover up, followed by an un-rehabbed G, then a Van Hool and a D series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrabs74 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 They have no choice but to keep the Van Hool's since they are accessible Probably explains why they're keeping the Gs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulated Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 It's been over 1 and a half years since I've seen any of Greyhound's E-series coaches (personally thought they were retired), but no less than two of them were at Toronto Coach Terminal today: 1079 and 9802 (ex-ChaCo).
