Articulated Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Noticed a new tender on the City of Sault Ste Marie's website: Downtown Trolley / Alternative Novelty Transportation Not much more information is available, as it is a "Request for Information", so just looking for proposals at this point. But it sounds like the City is interested in setting up some sort of a downtown tourist shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiExpress Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Sault Ste Marie will be getting 3 Nova LFS next year using the Metrolinx Transit Procurement Initiative. Due to the fact that pricing came in higher than budgeted, the procurement of one parabus will be deferred. https://saultstemarie.ca/Cityweb/media/City-Clerk/Council-Agendas/2021/2021_10_25_Agenda.pdf?ext=.pdf (pages 96 and 97) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or its dead, as the hybrid system was old when we received 1684 in May of 2019, and might have just lasted Sault Transit 2-3 Years time working, before it probably just died. and probably crawls around the facility/depot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason it’s there was that it was practically donated to the city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
