97SCT Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 CBRM will get $1.2 million to purchase six buses including five used and one new bus to complement its existing fleet. https://novascotia.ca/news/release/?id=20191119002 Also, Cape Breton University will now serve as a transfer hub splitting Route 1 which served all stops between Sydney and Glace Bay into two routes (1 Sydney-CBU, 2 Glace Bay-CBU?) according to the new schedules. An express route has been implemented with select stops including CBU between the towns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was posted on this topic that one of them were delivered but nothing on it servicing the city. There is only one, as far as is known, and it is operated by the Port Authority and not Transit Cape Breton. It is painted all white and is stored at the Transit Cape Breton garage. With no cruise shops coming to town in the past few years, the bus has apparently not been used much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll double check on that as well as the status of 7124 as it recently had a small fire in the engine compartment. Not sure if it will be fixed or retired.
