Express691 Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 http://ow.ly/qFMh50v5xIN Remaining older buses in BCT fleet to be replaced by 118 newer buses. No details on which brand/model will be purchased. It is implied that the replacement is for BC Transit buses, not TransLink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express691 Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 So what about the other 8 deckers set aside for 50/61 upgrades? Is that included in the 19? Or does that bring the total to 27?

I can only assume those 8 deckers will be exclusively based out of Langford garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Broughton Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 likely the rest of the decker order is replacements for 9001-9010 and 9507 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course time will tell what transit really decides. 9001-9010 may last 23 years like some Flyers have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LANGFORD garage is getting a CNG fueling station (since FortisBC is on Langford Parkway, just a block away from Langford garage). Looks like the unit pictured is a Whistler unit.
