Seashore_518203 Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 14 hours ago, SSMTS said: I did ride 113 bus because I been ride with SSMTransit for more than 2,000 times, I saw 113 exist in my own eyes but not long run. Unfortunately, without a picture to prove it, I would agree that this bus never existed due to superstitious reasons. Here is a roster from January 2002. You can see that it did not exist at that time. If it existed for only a year or two when new, chances are the VINs for 112 and 114 would be out of sequence but they are not. Having said that, I appreciate your current fleet observations and keeping transit enthusiasts up to date on SSM Transit, It is a very interesting fleet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Having said that, I appreciate your current fleet observations and keeping transit enthusiasts up to date on SSM Transit, It is a very interesting fleet. I did talk with them and they said its was only 2 days by accident paint number to renumber from 113 to 114, I do remember I saw it when I was there but I can see it why 113 been not around as long but I found out its was only 2 days and I can see 121 missing but there is 121A and 121B so your paper is 2nd copy from 1st but 121A do exist I saw 121 exist in my own life but I know I saw 113 but only 2 days and 113 did not been in service, I was confused but my work said Im right but not in service and it's was only 2 days in garage and accident paint to make 2nd paint to renumber, I get it but there still missing 121 is not accept that all 121A and 121B do exist, that end of story and your paper is not helpful 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I mean on https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Sault_Ste._Marie_Transit everything is ok with all fleet but ... annoying is ... 146 still ACTIVE? ACTUALLY RETIRED! and 163 is ACTIVE! plus Add 164 ... (ex TTC-1684) but 164 is not part of 161-163 because 161-163 is Orion 07.501 buses built in 2006 and 164 is Orion 07.501 NG HEV bus built in 2008 but still not active yet ... that all ... who will edit it? I added 164 to the fleet list and also made it's own page. https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Sault_Ste._Marie_Transit_164 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sault Ste Marie Tenders and Proposals There is a report regarding the purchase of transit buses on Monday's council agenda. New Flyer will be awarded the tenders and Sault Ste Marie will be getting 6 XD40s and 4 XD35s. New Flyer was the lower bid for the 40ft buses compared to Nova. For the 35ft buses, both Grande West and City View (ElDorado Axess) bid as well.
