There is no official source about this but it could be a sign that the 79xx series are going to be canned as mentioned by Rowan in the past even though we quickly denied his claim several times. However, until there is an official source stating this, the debate on this will continue unfortunately...

TTC 7300 series Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Ok cause I’ve seen it on 32 once but couldn’t remember the bus number On 12/24/2018 at 1:05 PM, 7969 said: Was there a specific cause of its retirement or is the 7900 fleet starting to go? Besides the ones that are converted or retired due to fires or crashes (if any ) I think all are still active and I believe all are at Queensway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more wondering if there was a reason they were retiring, not which ones retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also can u guys listen to shemar and Rowan about the 79xx it’s getting ridiculous. This is just an estimate 7946 might be active tmrw idk. Also one question how come nobody reports the hybrids having their fuel doors taped shut Because they never get it taped shut.

8300 Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 I rarely post on this forum but I have to point out based upon my search on the internal computer's allocation listing today, 7935 is NOT retired. Buses can be out of service for various of reasons such as waiting for parts or something. 41 minutes ago, Mrnovabus8787 said: 7935 is retired confirmed and you guys are still in denial. Proof that 7935 is still on the allocation listing. This was taken this morning from the Queensway computer. 24 minutes ago, Mrnovabus8787 said: I dare you to use that as an academic source for any university research paper. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait for the official source. That is how it should be. Only post it if you have physical evidence to back up your claim. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one i know of is 1805 The hybrid retirements are not planned ahead of time like the Detroit Diesel units. They’re pulled on the basis of major high voltage component failure, traction generator, motor and the like. This is likely to change in the near future however. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually if it’s not tracking in a week it’s retired so let’s see I'm not exactly sure what makes *you* the authoritative source on what makes a bus retired. This goes out to all members: As we have seen just in the last day with 7935, STOP MAKING ASSUMPTIONS ON WHAT BUSES ARE RETIRED ONLY USING THE ONLINE TRACKERS. The trackers are NOT 100% accurate, and there are literally dozens of reasons a bus may be out of service for longer than 2 consecutive days. If it takes a few days to confirm a unit is retired, SO WHAT??? It is much more valuable to have correct information than it is to have fast information. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please stop making assumptions and according to the allocation sheet, it is still active. None of the buses have their parts stripped off. 7 minutes ago, Articulated said: I'm not exactly sure what makes *you* the authoritative source on what makes a bus retired. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bus_Medic Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Lifted my own post from the duplicate accounts thread.

bus_7246 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 That looks bad. Maybe harvest the front of 8924 for 9003. It’s definitely the best candidate for a transplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
