Mar_AC_23 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Any update on 1206 or 1348? Although I think 1348 might be retired by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leylandvictory2 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 3754 will be sidelined for the next little while. It clipped the roof vent at Don Mills station. I don't think the byd will be deployed on Don mills route anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BYD buses have been on the 25 for a number of days, and therefore passing through Don Mills Station literally dozens, if not hundreds of times... how come this is only surfacing now?

Crazy concept I know. The TTC is a huge system - it would be highly impractical to test a new bus on every single route and stop in the entire system before clearing them to service. That being said... they should know where the "pinch points" of low clearance are on the system (especially for infrastructure they own, like bus terminals), and should know if a bus is not going to clear one of those points before ordering them. There were plenty of signs advising where CNG buses couldn't go, some of which were height-based. Then again, TTC didn't know about the issue with hybrid buses at Jane Station without a little trial-and-error... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 electric bus series were tested on every TTC route. therefor they went into every possible station. Different angles drivers take around certain corners or to avoid certain obstacles may result in incidents like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told the accident happened at the off loading bay behind the 25B. Based on the damage on 3754, my education guess is that the bus driver did a called "overhang" maneuver and caused the accident. Overhang maneuver is a technique where the front portion of the bus (the part before the front axle) is actually above the sidewalk or curb. This maneuver is done to help the bus to navigate a turns that are very tight. We were taught this technique during training. In this case the bus driver want to the bus parked as close to the bus stop as possible to avoid tripping hazard. I do the overhang maneuver with Orion and Nova bus numerous times and never have a problem. BYD is slightly taller than nova, hence it may not able to clear the vents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus_Medic Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 It was a fist sized hole in the fiberglass immediately above the entrance door. That’s it. 1242 is down, likely permanently. It dropped an exhaust valve seat on cylinder #6, piston didn’t like that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
