Yep 405 is still hitting service most days usually on a rush hour block. Today it’s on route 80 Elgin Mills I believe last week there was a day it was on the 9 for a full day run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovettc Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 YRT 405 might be retired and taken out of service because 405 has been parked in the dead lot at SE Garage. So maybe that marks the end of 2004 New Flyer D40LF at YRT. Not My Photo and the photo belongs to @Joshuamumble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuamumble Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 2009 Eldorado EZ-Rider II MAX 992 plus 2010 Eldorado EZ-Rider II BRTs 1070 & 1072 are retired, they are parked in Southeast's dead lot with the licence plates already taken off In addition, anyone know if YRT is retiring the 2010 Nova LFX artics (1080-1094)? I've started to see them disappear; 1087 last seen in June 2021 as a example while a good chunk of them were last seen more than a year ago according to Transsee (Note: 405's last day in service was May 30, 2023, when it did an AM run on route 25 according to Transsee and has not been out since then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yrt1000 Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 I hadn’t seen any 30 footers out on the 9 in a while, so I decided to look and it’s probably noteworthy that 1161 is the only non-community 30 ft. bus at Miller division that has seen service in the past few weeks, per Transsee. And it seems to have just done one trip today on route 80. The other ones that were still active this year: 1066- last in service Jul. 13 on route 9 1067- last in service Jun. 1 on route 80 1069- last in service Jul. 31 on route 522 1071- last in service Jun. 30 on route 9 1162- last in service Jul. 6 on route 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure those 99x buses don’t have much life left in them either. Once those are gone, I wonder what buses will operate the Community routes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom1122 Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Are the retired 300 and 400 series D40LFs still kicking around. I know they're retired. After DRT lost 19 buses, perhaps they could pick up some of the D40LFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovettc Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 YRT: 1161 broke down on route 522 Markham Local this morning Source: I asked the YRT Live Chat YRT: All of the Eldorado buses might be retired from service or those units are just MIA except for 1066 which is on route 522 Markham Local right now.

I can tell from Transsee and other trackers that the last two went out on November 15th, but that doesn't prove retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't my photo but here is the proof: As for the 99x Eldorados, looks like 995 & 996 are retired (they were last seen in October and a Southeast supervisor told me that two of the 99x were already done based on a Fleet Services email), 991 & 994 were last in service on November 17 Not sure about the fate of 10xx Novas, the last time 1091 was out was on November 17; 1084 was last out on November 9 while 1093 was last out on November 1 (1086 should be considered retired as it suffered an engine failure on August 4 while doing the Purple and hasn't been out since then) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, buses parked in a line deplated and with logos removed certainly indicates they are retired. The two 99x that are "already done" would be 992 and 993. The remaining units (991, 994-996) could still be active but awaiting repairs or parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulated Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 I recently viewed a tender for York Region that contained a List of Various Surplus Transit Buses. All of the units on the following list would be retired: 403, 405, 406, 550, 991, 994, 995, 996, 1060, 1061, 1062, 1063, 1064, 1080, 1081, 1082, 1083, 1084, 1086, 1088, 1089, 1090, 1091, 1092, 1092, 1094, 1067, 1069 Given the presence of certain units (namely the 4xx), it seems to indicate that these are buses that were officially retired at any point in 2023, although many of the buses on this list were in service as recently as October or mid-November 2023. Also, information from another contact has said that 992, 1070, 1072, 1160 were sold off in the "last round", i.e. in 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuamumble Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 2010 Eldorado EZ-Rider II BRT 1071 was reactivated today on route 522 (it was listed as retired) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Miller only had 2 functioning ElDorados, they have a very low spare ratio given that route 522 requires two buses to operate 6 days a week. Some of the ones that haven't been listed for disposal yet might come back to provide additional(/a) spares, until a more permanent strategy for equipping the 522 can be implemented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtatransitfanner Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 That "Masks or Face Coverings Recommended" p/r can also be manually engaged by the operator (not saying in this case but I do see some ops do it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
