G.A Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I believe they can operate single door in regular service there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seashore_518203 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 The manager of Charlottetown Transit has confirmed that the used buses are El Dorado EZ Rider II buses from Calgary. It will be interesting to see them in service in Charlottetown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Seems they acquired another EZ Rider from Calgary. Seen a recent photo of 74 which is grey and white sporting the logo and a green number. I would assume they have bought a few more? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a recent photo of 74 which is grey and white sporting the logo and a green number. I would assume they have bought a few more? I received an updated fleet list from the Transit Manager at T3: Bus 73, VIN 1N9MLAC668C084091, ex-Calgary Transit 1606, El Dorado EZ Rider II Bus 74, VIN 1N9MLAC668C084088, ex-Calgary Transit 1603, El Dorado EZ Rider II The buses were acquired in 2018. I did not get a more specific date. The listing also contained a VIN for bus # 72: 2G9B30AA6GA098043 I suspect that this is an error on the fleet list. That VIN corresponds to Calgary Vicinity 1630. I suspect that in transitioning from the El Dorados to the Vicinities, the registration from 1630 and another El Dorado may have been accidentally switched and not noticed. I have an inquiry into T3 to check the VIN for bus # 72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROSeaboyer Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Are the only buses that T3 has active in their fleet now their purchases from Calgary and the old demo (bus #s 60-74)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing I heard about it was from an operator who told me it was taken out of service to repair body rust and a poor attempt at doing so that was actually done during the initial build at the factory.

It's been used occasionally, but hasn't really been used much. I thought it was weird, but that explanation makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROSeaboyer Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Looks like the 3 additional buses are to let them hold on until the fleet gets new buses (unless this is talking about getting ANOTHER 3 buses): https://www.theguardian.pe.ca/news/local/band-aid-solution-for-peis-transit-system-291665/ Current breakdown of these buses seems to be as follows: 60 and 67 are used for peak and a lunchtime run 63 is peak only 61, 62, 64, 65, 68, and 71 are used all day (not evening) 66 is used for the afternoon peak and evening service 72, 73, and 74 sometimes replace 61, 62, and 68 70 is a spare 69 (The Zhong Tong bus) isn't really in active service at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROSeaboyer Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I'm assuming so, I was just saying I haven't seen it active recently, which would make sense if it's undergoing major repairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
