Prevost Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Haha I know 2009 is not that bad, but I was under the impression that Safeway requires the newest equipment, which is why I am surprised Safeway would be using equipment of that age.

306 Carlton Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 they do. Their newest equipment according to Wiki is 2009. Its not that bad. I have seen older coaches still on the road such as MC9. Wiki is out of date, they have many buses newer than 2009. MC9s likely are almost all gone if not gone already.

If you like, you can update them. When I said MC9, I am talking about other companies that still operates them. It looks like Safeway will continue the contract with GTA as 7403 regained Safeway lettering on the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megabus Rider Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Coach Canada has purchased 5 H3-45s for Safeway Tours, presumably will be red but don't know if Safeway will roll out with new vinyl wrap or the same as last year buses.

leylandvictory2 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Based on previous batches, the wrap should be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noahrp24 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 It seems like 91031 got its Safeway Tours decals on the side removed and replaced with "I ♥ FALLSVIEW" lettering. I saw it leaving Square One today. Has anyone else seen this on other buses or is this old news.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I saw one as well but I don't remember the fleet number. Coach Canada does other casino runs. The decals are applied for another company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 the "I loves Fallsview" is only applied on the left side iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Correct ion I lives fallsview is applied to both side of the bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megabus Rider Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Not sure on the reason why 91031 had its decal changed. After all Safeway is the exclusive Line Run provider for Fallsview so that decal may be Fallsview's request. New Buses are arriving and with that being said, Great Canadian Coaches unit 1005 had its Safeway decals removed, saw it yesterday in Scarborough. My sources tell me it was removed last few days ago. I'd assume it will be replaced with a 2016 H3-45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 so the Great Canadian's 2016 units will come with red background as well? Since you have some contacts here and there, do you know if Coach Canada has a bus with the fleet number, 92004? I know sometimes Coach Canada skip numbers for whatever reason. 4 is definitely a bad luck number for the Asian communities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably since Safeway wants their buses red. There is no 92004. Yes it was skipped due to the negative significance to the Chinese people. Same for all other companies doing Safeway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megabus Rider Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 New Buses have arrived and some have been out since this past weekend. I am hearing Attridge has 6 for Safeway (2 have seat modifications) and Coach Canada has 4. Great Canadian is expected to debut their new units this week! As for Attridge, 2 Coaches had the first 4 rows Passenger side spec'd with Single Couch like seat with white/beige leather. It's an experiment that Safeway is trying out for the Elite Players (beyond Platinum Players) and see how that concept plays out. Total seats for Passengers on those 2 Coaches are 52. If there is anybody on here who uses Safeway Service to Fallsview can take a photo and post it here. Happy Sighting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Safeway charge a premium for sitting in the first several rows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prevost Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 According to their advertisements, they are supposed to be getting 16 2016 Prevost H3-45s. Does this mean that Great Canadian will have 6 to make up the remainder (16 minus 6 from Attridge and 4 from Coach Canada)? I wonder if those coaches modified with leather seats will be used on tours or casino runs only. Yes, they charge a premium for sitting in the first 3 rows of the coach on tours, not sure about the casino runs. A lot of companies out West here in Vancouver are doing the same thing and charging extra to sit in the first 3 rows, very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite sure that the Elites who ride Safeway frequently have been notified of these seats and when they can reserve them. 13 minutes ago, Prevost said: According to their advertisements, they are supposed to be getting 16 2016 Prevost H3-45s.

As for GTA Crew and Pacific Western, I haven't heard of them getting any new buses for Safeway this year. The 2 with Attridge with those seats, more than likely Casino Only. It is common on Casino Line Runs to charge a premium to sit at the front, after all everybody wants to sit at the front, why not make extra $$$ for that demand.

leylandvictory2 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 so where  does the tour guy sit in the new casino bus then hmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 GTA has at least one new h3-45.  Coach Canada has at least one in service with the fleet number 93XXX.  I assume there is no 93004 due to chinese people's superstition over the number 4.   Edit GTA Crew h3-45 Coach Canada 93002.  I had less than a second to fire a shot.  So hopefully i will have better luck next time.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivablue5215 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Spotted 93003 today at Brimley and Huntingwood. Spotted 6537 on the 401 on Tuesday as well, which I assume is an Attridge unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
