Yeah, they do, probably it might be entirely 60ft after the subway extension opens. On 9/4/2017 at 9:59 AM, anyfong said: Awesome. Thank you. I see 1770 is on Blue today.

I could determine 1621 will be highest 16xx fleet by speaking with staff, however as only 1701 is in service for while, I can't say words about it, While I passed on keele street, bunch parked at back of southwest yard.

There is a contract with nova, which ending this year. Let's see how it goes next year. That contract ended earlier this year. A new contract has been awarded yet again to Nova Bus. York Region has opted out of the Metrolinx TPI program. Their latest tender results came back with New Flyer having the lowest cost for the new buses being ordered for this year. We will have to wait and see what happens and who wins it. Until you know your actual facts, stop posting nonsense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appearantly it's replacing 554 which is now retired due to rear end damage from a collision. And it entered service today. Forgot which route through.

Chris W Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 1715 is out on 98/99. Also, were the Orions quietly retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulated Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 5 minutes ago, Chris W said: 1715 is out on 98/99. Also, were the Orions quietly retired? 307 and 309 are the only active Orion Vs left. I spotted one of them on the 300 earlier this week, so they are indeed still running, just less frequently. Please be careful with your sightings, as 98/99 is a Southeast route, while 98 is a North route. 1715 has already been spotted by @Viva5113 operating out of North division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
