DavidW Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Road trip to Kenora today. Captured Kenora Transit #149004 which the operator said was Kenora Transit's entire operating fleet, except for their spare bus. This location is their downtown terminal, called "Market Square" on their map. Saturday 26 July 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx Note the town logo has been changed, probably the reason why they re-numbered to this odd fleet # now........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx Note the town logo has been changed, probably the reason why they re-numbered to this odd fleet # now........ Might be a new bus... I can't see them doing a full repaint, renumbering, and replating of a 3 year old bus. The last bit of the fleet number is also 004, which would indicate a unit after 503. 502, a 2006 unit, is also now 8 years old, which is pretty old for an EZ Rider II. Wouldn't surprise me if they needed to retire 502 and moved 503 to backup status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 That has to be 503 I can't see them getting another new bus not for a few more years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seashore_518203 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 That has to be 503 I can't see them getting another new bus not for a few more years A quick search on google (key words: "Kenora Transit New Bus") revealed the following article: http://www.kenoradailyminerandnews.com/2012/12/11/gas-tax-rebate-expected-to-cover-costs-of-new-public-transit-bus-and-handi-van-in-kenora It would appear that this is the 3rd bus in the fleet. The numbering scheme is obviously 14 (year) 90 (department code or something similar) 04 (unit number, as it is the bus purchased after 03). I wonder if the other two buses have been renumbered to 059002 and 119003? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seashore_518203 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 The other two buses in Kenora were indeed renumbered. Bus 502 is now 1209705 while bus 503 is now 1209704. The information was taken in a fleet survey filled out by the contractor (First Transit) and submitted to CUTA. As mentioned above, the third bus is 149004. By the way, First Transit took over the contract in 2013 after years of it being operated by Excel Coach Lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any reason whatsoever why they went with letters and numbers (especially big numbers)? When you have three buses in the fleet, 1, 2 and 3 would have been a lot easier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First switched to a new numbering system starting in 2017. Fleet numbers are now the last 8 digits of the VIN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
