Why not? Seems like a legitimate question...

That kid has a long history of spamming threads with useless shit. Go look at the Burlington Transit thread (couple newest pages)

I'm well aware of that dumpster fire, however I don't see the point of following a user from section to section just to shoot them down when in fact they were asking a legitimate question that others (including myself) might want to know the answer to. 

Ironically in this case their post is less of a waste of bandwidth than most of what came after it...

I agree. It was a legitimate question. The Vicinity had been parted out by City View in Toronto so it was most likely headed to a scrap yard in Hamilton, most likely the lower east end industrial area of the city.

Fleet updates;

7143-44 are the former Transcollines Nova Suburbans.

I have also been told three more Xcelsiors are incoming.

Coming back to this reply. When did City View have a location in Toronto?

Forgot to mention, another likely ex-Red Deer D40LFR has shown up a while back.

I think it is long overdue especially with the W5 expose on Cape Breton University and how they were allowing international students without sufficient resources such as transit to accommodate the volume. Plus seeing the long lineups for buses that I don't think half hour frequency would even address on social media. 

At the same time, trying to better address the demand where possible with the limited resources since I don't think Cape Breton Transit was aware of the influx of international students and the demand for service.

Cape Breton Regional Municipality workers are currently on strike, which means transit and Handi-Trans services are not operating.

Transit Cape Breton update;

One of the single door 2015 Novas from Transcollines has been delivered.

7120 and 7121, the two former Halifax D40LF's have been retired due to rotted frames. 7104 is also retired.

Handi-Trans unit 7132 has a Starcraft body instead of the Champion.

7134 is former Barrie 69709, 7136 is former London 129, 7139 is former Red Deer 823 and 7140 is former London 128.

Unit 7138 is a 2017 Ford Starcraft.

A new Nova is also active, numbered 7141.

Wiki on the bus says active. It may need to be updated to retired.

Your typing is absolutely bonkers. Can't understand anything other than how a 2024 NovaBus has a Old Drivers Window and how a 71xx unit showed up in Dartmouth for repairs.
