ST agencies with King County Metro. https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Sound_Transit_9660-9690 ST doesn't operate, store, or maintain any buses. They partner with KCM, Pierce Transit, and Community Transit* for those services. Each of the three agencies are responsible for a given set of routes, and ST assigns vehicles to them as necessary. The vehicles are ordered to the specifications of that particular agency. There have been a few instances in the last 21 years of STExpress history where the vehicles were reassigned. *CT subcontracts out the operations of the ST (and their own commuter routes) to First Transit. Someone else will have to chime in but I think CT maintains all buses they own and have been assigned by CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay8g Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 So from what I can tell (and have heard on the radio), the rest of the 2600s will likely be retired (or at least parked) by October 1st. That's when Metro will start collecting fares again (meaning front door boarding), and they aren't getting the driver shields that the rest of the fleet is getting. I suppose some of them could stay in service after that date, but it would be rather confusing to riders if some buses are still rear-door-only boarding... Seems a bit abrupt to me, especially since there aren't any new buses coming to replace them, but I guess all the cuts to peak service mean that there isn't as much demand on the fleet right now. Central, which is the only base that still has a substantial fleet of 2600s, has already been getting all sorts of buses transferred over from other bases to start to replace the 2600s. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David L Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 With most of the Eastside's commuter service suspended, along with a fair bit in the rest of the network, there certainly was extra artic capacity. But retiring all remaining 2600s at once will make things pretty tight again. Looks to me like we have the following movements, so far (and there are still quite a few 2600s running today, so more movements are probably coming): Ryerson sends three-door XDE60s (so far all in the newer 8200 series) to Central, partially replacing 2600s. East sends DE60LFRs to Atlantic, partially replacing 2600s. South sends two-door XDE60s to Ryerson, partially replacing the three-door ones that went to Central. Seems like the new artic hybrid fleet will be: Atlantic: DE60LFR Central: three-door XDE60 East: two-door XDE60, and maybe a few extra DE60LFR North: mix of 2008-9 DE60LF and DE60LFR Ryerson: mix of two- and three-door XDE60 South: mix of DE60LFR and two-door XDE60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David L Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Looks like seven 2600s are still in service today. Has anybody caught one, to see if they are collecting fares at the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never got excited when one pulled up. I suppose they performed fairly well over their 15-16 year lifespan -- although isn't that somewhat abbreviated by Metro standards? Otherwise, how is life now that service cuts have taken effect? Glad I went out of my way to ride the 47 when I did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anybody caught one, to see if they are collecting fares at the front? Yeah, I saw a few of them on the 120 today, and they are collecting fares as normal even though they don't have driver shields installed. I guess Metro isn't quite as worried about that as I had thought they were. Looks like there are at least 19 of them in service today per Pantograph. In addition to the fleet moves mentioned above, some of the 6800s from North have moved to South, and some of the 6900s from various bases that had ended up at Central have also moved to South. I wonder if they're moving older buses to South with the expectation that they'll be retired when the electric buses arrive. That's the only reason I can think for them moving the 8100s, which were ordered for suburban service, to Ryerson. One other interesting move is that the D and E lines seem to have moved from Atlantic to Central. Many of the RapidRide coaches obviously moved over with them... but so did the ones wrapped in green that were intended to be used on normal routes, which Central seems to be using exclusively on the D and E lines. Meanwhile, the 120 seems to have moved back to Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David L Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 I've never understood any of Metro's choices with the 6800 DE60LFs since it got them. It seems to treat them almost as a single fleet with the DE60LFRs, which have a similar powertrain but very different body and interior. It always seemed to me like the 6800s should have been consolidated at a single base, and I don't get the logic of moving just a few of them to South. In the 40' department, seems that North sent a batch of its XDE40s back to South in exchange for a few more DE60LFRs from East. With reduced frequency on a bunch of core North routes, and social distancing capacity limits, I'm sure the artic capacity is needed up there.

The final built of DE60LFR required? It lists who coach number (6117) DE60LFR - the final built of DE60LFR 2013 bus possible and I think so? RapidRide own with King County Metro in the Seattle Area.

EvergreenRailfan Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 The era of Big Diesel at Metro is now over with the official retirement of the 1100s. 21 years for the class, about 100 for non-electric drive buses in Seattle. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay8g Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 I do find it a little odd that they're talking so much about the retirement of the 1100s right now, though. They haven't been in service since March, when the route 200 was suspended as part of the COVID service reductions. I'm surprised they've even kept them on property for this long! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay8g Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 6261 has also been unwrapped. I would have thought that non-RapidRide coaches would have been in shorter supply right now with most of the 2600s gone, but they've been using them primarily on the RapidRide lines, so who knows. And speaking of the 2600s, I've seen a few of them with shields installed. I guess the fleet people realized that retiring all of them wasn't going to be practical (which was becoming obvious seeing as I kept hearing about coach shortages and seeing 40-footers on routes that they really shouldn't be)... I wonder if some of the ones that had been parked might come back into service, even. It seems like there are 20-30 of them currently in use.
