I believe they want rid 131-132 and 159-164 since they did rid all ex-OC Transpo (141-153) gone, I don't see any 141-153 ex-OC Transpo anymore, all ex-OC Transpo buses already gone but I noticed 131 or 158 been not run around since month or 2 months, I am not sure but I see 132, 159 and 160 still running then I thinking they are on work to get rid 131-132 and 158-164 quick like 8 bus since 131, 132, 161, 162 and 163 (5 fleet) like 18 years old, 131-132 or 161-163 is 2004 but 158-160 (ex-Thunder Bay Transit) was like 2006, been 16 years, I know they want keep 133-140 for 5-10 years because 133-134 is 2010, 135-139 is 2011, 140 is 2013, 156 is 2016, 165-166 is 2019 then 167-176 is 2021 whatever answer is yes, we will see ex-TTC gone soon like 1-2 years from now, ex-TTC won't be alone, we already know that ex-OC Transpo already gone but we will know that 131-132, ex-Thunder Bay (158-160) and ex-TTC (161-164) will be gone in 2023-2025 around for sure so we will know that 133-140, 156 and 165-176, 177-178 (Mini Bus) and add new 179-182 on ordered, what fantasy! I forgot to say about 164, 164 is worthless to this Transit company since they not happy with this 164 because of high cost of maintenance, blah blah blah because one of my friend work at bus garage, they really want 164 to go soon since 164 been parking in garage like almost 2 years like a ghost abandoned bus!!!!! my last time saw 164 running in street was June 2019 If anyone care about new livery paint bus?

Sooguy2022 Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 176 New Flyer XD40 did add new paint "21 Century" then 174 should be already paint but what is it? I'll find out if is new livery or what? since all 4 XD35 (167-170) already new livery paint but 2 XD40 (171-172) already new livery paint then 173, 175 and 176 just use business ad just like 156 did with EXIT paint, same idea 173 with Arby's, 175 with GFL and 176 with 21 Century, one left is 174 and if anyone know what 174 got new paint? or still non-paint running around?

Not paint they are decals. It seems the buses are being wrapped up for advertising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that gets painted these days is the base colour. It’s all in what the company(that’s on the ad) wants to spend. A wrap is way more expensive than just a ad sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they want 173-176 to be as sign just like 156 did? then 174 still unavailable because I did saw 174 running like 2 days ago and it's was non-paint, still unknown and I know 174 is last bus left with non-paint Today, my first time to see 176 with new paint is 21 Century (ad sign) but soon I'll take a picture of all 167-176 (each fleet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
