PHATMATT51 Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Was there this past weekend and had a good view of table rock. Even with the signs up there was alway a large group waiting for the the green line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97SCT Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Should also be known two new units for the Chair-A-Van service were bought last year. Units 2032-33 and they are Ford Transit 350HD's. Here's 2033 this afternoon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Glaval Bus Commute body on a Ford Transit chassis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHATMATT51 Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Back in Niagara this week. Went riding on the WEGO Red and Green lines. Rode multiple bus and I’m shocked on how low kms those novas have especially on the green line. For being 9 years old they have an average of 220,000 kms. the green line is not going to the floral clock. Last stop is the butterfly conservatory. Also next year is the last year of the 10 year contract I’m sure it will get renewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure 2190-2194 were also refurbished as well. Could be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that Mississauga Bus Group no longer has a contract with NFT? I've seen pics of 5204 at Mississauga Bus Group ( assuming they were the ones who converted it from WEGO to NFT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the refurbishment of the WEGO units. Would they retain the WEGO branding or be branded for Niagara Falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niatrans10 Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 I assume they'll keep the WEGO branding, still no word whether the currently-at-refurb 5204 will remain in conventional service or return to WEGO livery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureHeartsJunkie Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 (excuse for not posting this in the right thread, but) The other day, I was watching a video from Gatineau, QC, Canada (from the TV station's Facebook page) and to my own eyes - I saw a brief shot of a (retired, possibly) Niagara Falls Transit Orion VII bus - parked at an unknown place in the Aylmer sector of Gatineau. I wasn't able to record what the fleet number was sadly. The brief shots of that retired bus (in the background) is at 9:20, 9:40 and 9:49: https://fb.watch/c0DUJ1ZhVE/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHATMATT51 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 The transit systems of Niagara map now has the green line. Before when i was looking at it only had the blue and red lines. I like these maps just to follow what buses are running. http://whereis.yourbus.com/bustime/map/displaymap.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
