Me thinks the buses are no longer there as I was told that they are sold. (Elite Limosuine) as per the friendly heavy set man that drives a big red hummer h2 and showed me the inside of that mci party bus. thanks. They are still there. That MCI is definitely an ex-GO and ex-Antelope Valley Transit Authority. Judging by the baby blue colour, it maybe the same bus as below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prevost Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Spotted a Ctour Holiday yellow TX45 heading eastbound on 41st avenue this morning (I think it had California plates). It was very strange to see this bus because, to provide some context, Ctour Holiday bought out Seagull Holiday in the US (as well as Tours4Fun): http://www.4-traders.com/CTRIP-COM-INTERNATIONAL-L-8954/news/Ctrip-com-International-Invests-in-Ctour-Holiday-Sea-Gull-Holiday-23340353/ Therefore, I was used to seeing these yellow buses with Seagull Holiday on the side down in California, not up here in B.C. After a little bit of searching online, I discovered that Ctour Holiday now has operations in Richmond, BC: http://ctourholiday.ca/index_en.php I wonder if it's a temporary thing that they are using their coaches from California or if this will stay permanent... Anyhoo, it's nice to have another company using nice buses on tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prevost Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Spotted a Bellair Charters and Airporter Shuttle new style MCI J4500 today at UBC. Also spotted a CBLBC Prevost H3-45, a Pacific Coach Lines Prevost H3-45, and a MC DL3 (I believe) First Student Canada with BC plates at UBC as well.

Terrible faux recap on the XL-II, trying to make it look like the newest style of H series. The last bus is owned by Greyhound Canada, seems to be leased to the PC party for the 2018 election. The federal Conservative party also leased 6226 for the 2015 election. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMB_BUS Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 What Prevost Car bus models started to have a roof exhaust or stack design? I noticed a few Prevost Buses with this roof exhaust, but wasn't sure if this a new thing or an option.... I would hate all that rain going down the exhaust pipe, or does the exhaust pipe have some sort of drainage for water built in? Exhaust definitely means exit only.

The vertical arrangement allows for less heat in the engine compartment and such as per the Brochure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leylandvictory2 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Bus companies try to make their buses look like new with various styles of head lights. The one below owned by Northern Limo is pretty unique. 83605 is this bus' fleet number, It may be ex-Coach Canada 83605. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression it was owned by North Star Limousine, unless they changed their name recently. It's been in a white livery with various names (including Toronto Coach and Zoom Tours) since 2014, and the red livery/new headlights seems to have been applied this year. Here is my photo of the same bus departing the Coach Terminal back on Canada Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I wonder if they are even that bright? Brighter than the original head lights? Why not buy a OEM kit from Prevost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Articulated Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Finally getting around to watermarking some photos from Sunday... quite a decent day morning of coach fanning around the Rogers Centre before a Jay's game. Some highlights include: Cherrey Bus Lines has some new buses: 104 is a D4505, and 4700 is a D4005. Not sure if they are new to Cherrey or purchased from elsewhere. The number 104 was previously used for a 2002 J4500, which I assume is now gone from the fleet. Some of Cherrey's 102-EL3 coaches look like they have been refurbished: 9956 is sporting a new livery, and saw 5454 in the same new livery a few months ago, with the new-style MCI logo (which makes me think they were the ones who did the refurbishment). Foley Bus Lines had 142 and 144, both MCI E-series coaches likely purchased used. Franklin Coach Lines had many of their buses operating a conference shuttle from MTCC. One of their buses was 229. Not sure what year it is built in, but added it to the Wiki. An MCI demonstrator, 68125, showed up. The driver appeared to be from Foley. Ontario Coach International 5742 picked up a charter group around Spadina/King. It is an old Prevost LeMirage. Other buses include 1208, 1416, 1600, 1800 from Badder; 3104 from Bell-Horizon; 507, 508, 8214 from Cherrey; 53474, 88003, 89018 from Coach Canada; 124, 129 from Franklin; 300 from Hammond; 2010, 9881 from Autobus La Québécoise; 218 from McCoy; and 9121 from Sookram. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
