Big CJ Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Ex CATS bus 817 up for sale.... again http://www.ebay.com/...784085&pt=Buses Looks like someone bought it for $5000. Looking at the price, probably someone wanting to convert it to a motorhome or a shuttle company.
septa105R5/seClip9 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 Philadelphia had seen its 1st new generation Nova LFS debuted on the road since late March of 2014. SEPTA has 245 4th generation Nova LFS in 40ft and 60ft in both hybrids and diesels on their way. However, this 2013 Nova LFS 40ft which actually arrived in 2014 is operated by Krapf's on Navy Yard Shuttle seen at 6th and Market Street, so it made its debut as the 1st new generation 40ft Nova LFS on the road. Taken on 4/14/2014 See more of it on Krapf's page http://www.cptdb.ca/index.php?showtopic=12427&st=120
FlyerD901 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 http://www.ttc.ca/Ab...iesel_Buses.pdf Its raining Novas in Toronto! 55 buses next year 2015 with more coming right through until 2018.
neoartic7101 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 Would have to be changes made to the PA state law then for them to legally operate unless they apply for a wavier. From what I heard from sources (on our FB group page Philadelphia Transit Vehicles), the state law has changed to accomodate these buses now. That is just what I heard. Now I have to look up laws on that now.

kellergraham Posted July 26, 2014 Report Posted July 26, 2014 Hi, Going through some of my photos from May, I have a picture of a 2014 (4th Gen) LFS on a road test in Laval. It's all-white and it's fleet number is 8141. Anyone know who this may belong to? Thanks, Alex
Express691 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Posted August 24, 2014 Heard there was some sort of recall this week. http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/canada/ottawa/transport-canada-critical-of-nova-bus-recall-1.2743497
edison Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 This link has some info on the LFS's natural gas system. According to the 2nd page the CNG tanks have a 20-year tank certification. (Dated August 2013).
neoartic7101 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 Well, the SEPTA Novas are in service: the LFSA HEV's on routes 33 & 48 and the LFS HEVs on route 23 in Philadelphia. A lot of mixed reviews about these buses in Philly. I actually wanna get home and check em out.

A lot of mixed reviews about these buses in Philly. I actually wanna get home and check em out. That is good, like anything new they may need a little teething period. I have not heard too many complaints on the the CTA order, though 40' clean diesels were ordered, not 40' and 62' hybrids.
TTCOrionV9408 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 does Anybody knows info of The TTC 55 LFS order?
Chris W Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 does Anybody knows info of The TTC 55 LFS order? Only that they're not built yet. Nova has other orders before TTC.
TTCOrionV9408 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Only that they're not built yet. Nova has other orders before TTC. Guelph is Getting four and Timmins is getting one maybe some Quebec Orders and anyone Confirm?
G.A Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 There is a production hold up from what I heard. TTC and SEPTA were large orders but are coming to an end. Next to be done are the remaining 2014 orders for other Transit systems then I believe and I could be wrong but Metrolinx orders and separate orders are next
Mr.Transit Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 SEPTA's order is far from over...it's a year behind schedule...they've only received 12 of their 90 40ft buses and 26 0f 185 60ft buses...the order is scheduled to be completed within two years.
general682002 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 40 for BC Transit for next year.
XN40 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Posted December 1, 2014 This link has some info on the LFS's natural gas system. According to the 2nd page the CNG tanks have a 20-year tank certification. (Dated August 2013). I believe the LFS is using an Agility CNG system, which is a pretty good system. I believe MCI is using it on their CNG commuter coaches and possibly Gillig for their CNG buses.
TTCOrionV9408 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Posted December 14, 2014 Any update on the Remaining TTC LFSA Order like 9150-9152 and some 9144-9149 and nova did Number the LFSes in the 84xx
MAX BRT Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 There is some reason to believe that Nova is behind on their production goals and contract timelines. I wonder if its just arctics that they are behind on or 40 foot buses as well? Does Nova have separate production lines for 40 footers and articulated buses? What about the Prevost coaches, are they built in the same building?
translink fan Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 What about the Prevost coaches, are they built in the same building? Prevost has their own facility for coach production.
M. Parsons Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 What about the Prevost coaches, are they built in the same building? Sounds like it will be in the same building as Nova Bus. http://nextcity.org/daily/entry/mta-awards-bus-contract-to-new-york-state-company-reduces-outsourcing
