STO's 9131 - 9138 and 9224-9225 would be screaming at the president of the sto saying "tue-moi!!!" (Kill me!!!)

Myriam Nadeau: "Désolé, il faudra attendre l'été prochain!" ("Sorry, You will have to wait until next summer!")

From Mighty Machines:

OC Orion VI:

Good morning Kids! I'm a City Bus.

This is a busy time at the bus depot.

All the buses are heading for their routes for the day.

People have to get to work and school.

We'd better get moving!

Watch out for the cyclists and the cars!

It's always extra busy at rush hour.

outside a hotel in Thunder Bay

Delivery driver: "Come on, please start. I need to get you to Richmond by the end of the month."

No-Start CMBC E500: "You know they don't need me right? Why do you have to send me there when I am better off spending the rest of my life in this parking lot?"

Delivery driver: "What do you mean they don't need you? You're supposed to be ready for service there by next month!"

No-Start CMBC E500: "Yeah, by service, you mean just sitting in the yard forever and slowly becoming a million-dollar paperweight because all the operators are on strike, right?"

Delivery driver: "You know that strike is over, right? In fact, the SkyTrain strike already happened and it was ended before it even started!"

No-Start CMBC E500: "Then I don't know, man. I just don't feel too comfortable working for TransLink if there's a chance I'll have to sit and rot due to job action. I mean, their past two generations of buses have suffered from that."

Delivery driver: "So can you please start? I need to get you to Richmond because my company has arranged a return flight for me the week after I'm supposed to have gotten you there, and that's so I can help get the rest of you guys across the country."

No-Start CMBC E500: "Well, I don't know what else to say, but… the truth is, I'm actually broken."

Delivery driver: "Alright, I'll get you a tow so you can get fixed because we're starting to run behind schedule now."

no-start E500 gets dropped off next to 19417 and 19419 at Thunder Bay Transit

No-Start: "Hey, what are you guys doing here?"

19417: "Well, we were getting tired of providing heat to a single person on board during our journey, so we thought we'd just break our heating systems to allocate more energy to driving. Who cares if the drivers were cold? They're Ontarians so it's not like they'd freeze to death when they live in the cold every single day."

19419: "And besides, they don't need heat over in BC anyway because it's so darn warm over there! I mean, I heard they had to import snow during the 2010 Olympics because they don't have it!"

No-Start: "Actually, you know that isn't true right? It can actually get pretty cold in BC and snow actually exists there. In fact, it snows every winter in parts of our future stomping grounds like Burnaby! Also, I'm pretty sure your drivers were freezing to death. Humans are humans."

19419: "But still, it's not like we're going to run in Burnaby! It's just Richmond to Surrey and back all day, every day!"

19417: "And don't forget the ferry runs! Those sound fun!"

No-Start: "Actually, we're supposed to be there by the end of the month so they can throw us on the 555 next month. And you know where the 555 goes? That's right. None other than Burnaby."
