History
Order
This is the third batch of Next Generation hybrids ordered by the TTC. In 2007, the TTC issued an RFP for a contract for diesel and/or hybrid buses. Both Orion and New Flyer submitted bids. Orion's bid was found to be the lowest and therefore was awarded the contract, C32PY08704, in December 2007 for 130 NG HEVs.
These buses are largely identical to the previous Next Generation hybrids delivered to the TTC; however, a major difference is that this batch features all-yellow stanchions and an additional stop request sign above the driver's window (as in the Old Generation). The previous batches of NGs were later equipped with this second stop request sign, and some OGs also received similar signs.
These buses were delivered with bike racks and CCTV cameras. The buses delivered earlier in 2009 had driver barriers installed at the garage, but later buses came with them installed. In late summer 2009, the passenger windows of this series and the other TTC NGs began receiving screws through the window latch so that the window cannot open. The TTC has not explicitly stated the reasoning for the action. It can be assumed, based on an NHTSA recall, that the extra screws are a short-term solution to address the potential of the tip-in transom falling into the bus as the screws holding it originally may loosen.[1] A more permanent solution is being installed on the buses. This consists of two rectangular brackets installed at the bottom corner of the transom. When the brackets are installed, the window is unscrewed. Most buses started receiving this in early 2010.
Modifications
In February 2019, this series began getting the new Computer-Aided Dispatch and Automatic Vehicle Location (CAD/AVL) Vehicle Information System and Integrated Operations Network (VISION) system. Units that currently have VISION installed are: 1701, 1703, 1706-1707, 1710, 1712-1716, 1719, 1724-1725, 1727, 1741, 1744, 1752. Not all buses in the fleet will be equipped with VISION because they are getting retired. However, any bus from this series that will remain in revenue service past April 2019 will have VISION installed.
Movement History
This series was originally delivered to Malvern and Wilson divisions. In 2014, several units were temporarily transferred to Arrow. In 2018, the remaining units at Wilson were transferred to Malvern.
These units are currently operating out of Malvern division.
Deployment
These buses can be found on routes: 21 Brimley, 38 Highland Creek, 39 Finch East, 53 Steeles East, 85 Sheppard East, 95 York Mills, 129 McCowan North, 130 Middlefield, 131 Nugget, 132 Milner, 133 Neilson, 134 Progress, 336 Finch West, 339 Finch East, 353 Steeles, 385 Sheppard East, 395 York Mills, 903 Kennedy-Scarborough Centre Express, 913 Progress Express, 939 Finch Express, 953 Steeles East Express, 985 Sheppard East Express, and 995 York Mills Express.
Retirement
The TTC originally planned for these buses to have an 18-year lifespan, however they began facing challenges as the buses approached their mid-life. More frequent failure of components, particularly in the buses' propulsion system, meant an escalating cost of ownership.[2] Beginning in 2018, as the TTC started taking delivery of new buses from Nova Bus, they started to retire buses from this series. Typically, when a major component such as the engine or traction motor fails and is deemed uneconomical to repair, the bus is retired.
