MCIBUS Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Can't say for certain but these OC fleet #'s where the last group to leave OC property: 4013,18,30,33,80,99,4101,09,10,12,33,39. They may be the ones going to SSM Transits, but not 100% sure if those are the ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC Transpo 8238 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Can't say for certain but these OC fleet #'s where the last group to leave OC property: 4013,18,30,33,80,99,4101,09,10,12,33,39. They may be the ones going to SSM Transits, but not 100% sure if those are the ones? Nope. Not all of those made it so SSM. The SSM buses left over a month ago. Please keep speculation out of this until concrete information is provided regarding fleet numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmoon Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 So far 4 classics (1 exUtah) and 4 original VI are retired. They will retire the remaining Vis and probably one more classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiExpress Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 After reading this thread and the various questions I can offer the following: 1 original MCI Classic left, 109. 2 original Orion VIs left, 1998 units 119, 120 All the ex-Utah Classics are still active, even though 129 is still in "storage" and may never return There are 7 ex-OC Transpo Orion VIs in service, 141-147. Ex OC number in brackets 141(4059) 142(4018) 143(4101) 144(4049) 145(4110) 146(4065) 147(4033) There is a 2013 Nova numbered 140. It is a Plattsburgh built bus and is a "stock" bus like the other 5 Novas they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAX BRT Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 "Stock" bus meaning the basic package with no customization for the TA whatsoever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2822 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 109, 128 and 129 are still in service and were all in use on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimon8000 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 109, 128 and 129 are still in service and were all in use on Friday. also note that they have purchased 13 ex-OC Orion VI in total, 9 of them (141 to 149) are in service while the other 4 are still sitting inside the barn, one of them ex-4109 will be the next to be fixed and get back to the road. No clue if they are going to fix the other 3 (ex-4030, 4080 and another one) or not all their originial Orion VI except 119 and 120 were retired and sitting at the back of the yard together with a number of retired Classics. Suprisingly the two Thomas 122 and 123 are STILL in service but in poor condition. They have purchased ex-Timmins 79 and 80 Thomas as parts bus which maybe the reason they can keep their own for a little longer. Luckily one of each Orion VII and Orion VII NG was spotted in service as i don't think they see regular service very often. All their Novas were seen in service except #135 which was on the hoist.

G.A Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 146 was at MTB for repairs after what looks like it suffered a front passenger side collision. It sports the maple leaf on the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsbuspage Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thread bump. Sunday service cutbacks in the Sault. Video here. Also shows several ex-OC Transpo Orion VI buses still in service. I notice that in addition to the maple leaf livery, SSM Transit also kept the OC Transpo co-operative seating and move back stickers on the inside of the buses.

G.A Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I also noticed that in Wiki theres only a small hand full yet I have seen pics of more than what was listed. Can anyone confirm how many were bought from OC Transpo? Also 146 has been repaired even though this was a long time ago. it was repaired using parts from Guelph Transit 149.

cmc12 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I also noticed that in Wiki theres only a small hand full yet I have seen pics of more than what was listed.

My information may be a bit out of date, but I spent some time there last August. Their fleet should be as follows: MCI Classic: 128 & 129 Orion VI: 119, 120, & 141 thru 153 (ex. Ottawa) Orion VII: 131 thru 134 Nova LFS: 135 thru 140 GMC Cutaway: 154 & 155 (Community Buses) Presumably the SLFs are no more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCI Classic Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I recently visited Sault Ste Marie and they got only one classic left. Classic 129 was out for a short time on my visit but was quickly changed off for 119. They also got a new Novabus numbered 156. Of course the female driving that bus had to freak out when I took a photo. She just stopped the bus in the middle of the road to report me !
