Board Admin A. Wong Posted July 14, 2009 Board Admin Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm starting to keep track of DATS contracted vehicles operated by Laidlaw (ie. white vehicles with blue checkers, low fleet numbers, wheelchair / ETS logo on a magnet). If anyone has shots of them and doesn't know what make/model it is, please post them here. Otherwise, feel free to post sightings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awstott Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Umm I think those are actually operated by yellow cab. We have a lot of people that arrive to work via them. I passed the driver to on my way in and he was wearing a yellow cab shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted July 14, 2009 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Yup, (back in the day) Yellow Cab, Prestige Cabs, Barrel Taxi Ltd. and Checker Cabs (Edmonton) Inc. comprised Laidlaw's taxi fleets. Interesting note that all the Corbeils were actually first delivered to Laidlaw, before ending up in the Ferrier compound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awstott Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Ahh didn't know they were part of Laidlaw. Actually that'd explain all the wrecked cabs in the southside Laidlaw yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T6H-5307N Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Is this kinda what we're looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awstott Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Had a Toyota one at work today... I was upstairs and looking straight down on it, but I'm guessing it's a Sienna. Not sure on the unit number though. May have been 59. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted July 15, 2009 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Is this kinda what we're looking for? Yup. Interesting, that one is a 2001-2004, and 52 is a 2005-2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted July 16, 2009 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I'm starting to wonder if the Sky Shuttle vehicles are numbered within the DATS ones. I guess we'll find out with more tracking, but so far I have noted 42 and 31 as being Sky Shuttle vans. I forget the numbers of those new cutaways they have.

T6H-5307N Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 So are we supposed to start taking pictures of these things for the roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted July 17, 2009 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 So are we supposed to start taking pictures of these things for the roster? Photos would be nice but information is good too. Usually I spot them while I'm driving so I can't take photos. Like Mike said, it's another option - and at least it's still kind of transit related.

T6H-5307N Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Okie dokie, just they can be a little harder to spot then your average shuttle bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted July 17, 2009 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I totally agree - usually I only catch the back ends of the vans, so I have to put 1996-2005 for those Chevy Ventures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted July 24, 2009 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Some people here owe me photos. On the topic of Sky Shuttle, until we get some overlapping numbers, 50 is a newer Diamond Coach! Longer one than the DATS ones of course though. 66 is a 2001-2005 Chevrolet Venture.

Board Admin A. Wong Posted July 30, 2009 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 LOL, nice on 15. Probably 82 is probably a GMC Savana similar to the one I saw before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T6H-5307N Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 15 is probably a Dodge Caravan or Grand Caravan, they seem to make up the majority of the fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
