Bus and Boat Tours in Toronto now has 7 ex-Megabus VanHool TD925 double-deck buses. Two are fully enclosed while the other 5 have a partial open top.

They have already had a minor renumbering of one of their buses. Bus 85135, has been renumbered 85131. You can see in the attached photo of 85131 that the "1" at the end of the fleet number has been added and does not line up exactly with the rest of the number. A shot of the original number 85135 is also attached.

The plate number (898 2BF) is the same with both fleet numbers and the final confirmation is that the VIN was checked on both fleet number versions and confirmed to be the same,

Very interesting! I wonder why they changed the fleet number.

How did they convert them to be able to remove the roof? I assume they have a crane to do that.

ABC Companies in the US has an ongoing refurbishment program. They purchased a number of ex-Megabus TD925 buses and are removing the roofs as part of the refurbishment process, then sell them to clients.

I'm wondering if these were actually converted by someone else. They look different than the ones from ABC.

Spotted C Tour Holiday (previously known as Seagull Holiday) #385 Prevost H3-45 turning from Cambie onto 41st Ave this morning.  Another Setra S417 from Pacific Jet-Link was being chartered by C Tour Holiday also heading eastbound on 41st Ave.

I think this is Pacific Western.....

The legals say P.W. Transportation, so yes it's Pacific Western. This would be one of the 2014 units previously wrapped for Safeway Tours, and now that they've been replaced PW is wrapping them in ad wraps to cover the old livery (similar to the 30xx coaches after the Airport Express route was abandoned).

Spotted this classic Van Hool in Rexdale. Anyone familiar with its heritage? Legals say "1505749 Ontario Inc" which operates as Coach and Travel Service.

I doubt that bus runs. And all the rubber trim is peeling on the windows. Would you charter that bus? It better be cheap, i rather ride a school bus.

Yes directly across from Pizza Pizza

Safeway Buses and Casino Rama Buses would now stage in this area at Woodside Square Mall after being ticketed on Sandhurst numerous times.
