Articulated Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 59 minutes ago, Gamer Studios said: @H4 5600 You may laugh react but that's apparently according to a TOK Supervisor. That's what Cowdrey told us. He's not a reliable source. Same with anything that is just heard from a random driver or supervisor. BTW, because YRT contracts out operations, the drivers and supervisors don't work for the same company that orders the buses, and there's a couple layers of separation from the front-line staff and the admin/office staff. So rumours and wrong info can happen often. Let's wait until we have a more firm source of info before assuming what the fleet numbers for this year's orders will be. There are going to be XE40, XD40, XD60, LFS Artic (for Viva), and potentially Mobility Plus cutaways, so lots of vehicles to fit into 99 digits. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimeTio Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Does YRT not publicly send out their procurements like other agency’s to see what buses they ordered? It’s strange that they don’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s strange that they don’t. They do send out procurements when they need additional buses. Though it looks like they simply added it onto existing orders since their purchasing cycle is usually for x amount of units for y amount of years. Which is cheaper to add more to an existing order than go through a procurement process again. Considering there are only two bus manufacturers that would qualify. Nova and New Flyer. Here is one example for 12 metre conventional buses: https://york.bidsandtenders.ca/Module/Tenders/en/Tender/Detail/2be8d72b-0c23-4287-b67d-e3eefb4c9a87 There was also one years ago where they were seeking 51 articulated buses for rapid transit (Viva) and 28 for conventional transit. The order was split with Nova taking the Viva contract while New Flyer got the conventional transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s strange that they don’t. They do public tenders, like multiple agencies and as required by law; however, lately they've been doing multi-year tenders, where they will do an award for 3-4 purchasing years to the same manufacturer. I know for sure these 2022 artics are part of the same multi-year tender that the 2020 artics were delivered under, and I believe the 40 foot diesels are also part of a multi-year tender. I believe Regional Council has delegated authority to award larger tenders to staff, rather than have multiple contract award reports (that normally just automatically pass on consent anyway) clog up Council meeting agendas. Since the summary reports for these types of contract tenders may only appear on Council agendas every 6-12 months, information is no longer timely or detailed.

I found it weird that the 4 sign to Woodbine isn’t double stacked on 2011. Yes I did take this one from @Gamer Studios’ post on Instagram. What might explain the difference in the sign?

From another group, there's a bunch delivered and waiting to be put into service, which will likely spell the end of the remaining few 300's and possibly the 400's as well.

Unless they are replacing units transferred to Southwest to address a shortage plus with the mileage articulated buses are accumulating on 20 Jane.
