LRT Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Is it just me or does this order seem to be arriving really slowly compared to past orders? Seems to be a slow order, how many more artics are on there way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Seems to be a slow order, how many more artics are on there way? Twenty Two in total. #'s 6042-6063. Dose the inside look the same as the others Pretty much except for different door handles on front doors and of course the squared off windows on the doors.

Vancouver Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 6050 on Run 59 of the 302 this afternoon. Should be the highest numbered one in service so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xqc13 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Anyone see 6048 in service at all yet? I haven't seen it since it first arrived.. Yep, saw it EB on 5th Ave on the 305 yesterday. Was using a card to display the route number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRT Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Funny thing about this pic, the "caution ctrain crossing" sign is used in some American city's not sure if I saw it in Portland or SanDiego. It doesn't say ctrain of course, the pic of the train is the same.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 And I forgot to mention a couple of days ago, I have seen up to #6058 so far for deliveries. So just a few more to go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Yesterday afternoon before starting work I spotted 6059 at the body shop at VP and when I finished work early this morning I found 6060 has now also arrived. So just 3 left to arrive if the order is indeed 22 units. Had 6047 last night on my 301 and the very back door kept sticking open. The very back door leaf would start to shut about 2 inches and stop. This seems to have become a regular problem on brand new NFI's (With dual width rear doors) as I recall that happening on the previous batch as well (6022-6041) when they were new as well. Not sure about other cities like Edmonton though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Spotted 6063 at Dalhousie Friday afternoon working route 834. First time I have seen that bus. Never saw it when it was delivered or anything. Still have yet to see 6062 however. I am sure it's around though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. David Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Does Calgary Transit have any plans to introduce any new BRT routes in the future (like route 303 or 304, for example)? If so, then these new artics would obviously be a perfect fit for them. I remember hearing that the RTL would sometimes use their AG 300s and AG 700s (back when they were still in service) on school runs or routes 42, 142, or 73 sometimes. They're usually a staple on routes 45 and 90 nowadays. Is it possible that Calgary Transit would do something similar to this? Routes with high ridership would be a good place for them as well.

If so, then these new artics would obviously be a perfect fit for them. We already have a route 303 and 304 which operate during the Calgary Stampede every summer for 10 days. Those two routes are normally served by 40 foot units however. Currently transit routes that the D60LFR's operate on are the 181, 301, 302, 305 (Except weekeds), and some trips on the route 3 during rush hours. They also operate on school specials on routes 743, 834 and probably a few others as well, but those are the routes that I have seen them on. There are plans for a couple of more BRT routes as well and they are posted somewhere within the Calgary threads, but I am not sure where currently.

mersar Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Yep, there are a couple proposed routes floating around. One will run up to Sage Hill (Symons Valley @ 144th Ave approx), and others may run YYC to Northpointe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Yep, there are a couple proposed routes floating around. One will run up to Sage Hill (Symons Valley @ 144th Ave approx), and others may run YYC to Northpointe Hmm... YYC to Northpointe. Wonder if they would be using 40 footers for that one or Articulated? If they use Articulated buses, wonder where at the Airport they would stop? Those buses seem a bit long for the current bus loading bays at the Airport Terminal. That route also doesn't seem like a route that would need a 60 footer, but I could be wrong. Edited April 3, 2010 by MBTA9244-9640b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xqc13 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Also, seeing as they're only running cutaways along that corridor right now, it would be an enormous service increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
