Both still sitting in the yard and they will not be scapped beacause they still in good condition to be sold... TTC? Why not... They still have some fishbowls that will be keeped for another 2-4 years...
@FamilyGuyFan2007 Why in hell would they wanna scrap good condition buses especially Classic Artics only came with nearly 15 of them then discontinued them back in 1993. Thanks man!!! Very sad!!
@Breeze646 Sorry but they still sitting in the back yard of RTC and they will be sold... Both are still in good condition! :) Halifax should buy them!
Notice why Quebec transit agencies will only buy their buses made in Quebec only (exception is RTL). That's why you don't see New Flyers (made in Manitoba) or Orions (made in Ontario) in the streets of Quebec. Politics at work, you betcha. Your equalization dollars at work!
And now I hear that these two buses will be retired once the new LFS artics arrive. I hope one of those gets saved for the historical collection though.
Nope theses 2 MCI CLASSIC #9225 and #9226 are retired and belong to RTC (Québec) As far as i know both are still sitting in the yard and waiting to be sold... Maybe Halifax should by them :)
@CTCUQ I do have a feeling that those 2 buses may ended up at Halifax to be with the rest of their MCI/Nova Classic Artics fleet. Who else would buy them? I wish that they can send them to NYC lol.
@qwandiddy YES We do sure need those high capacity high floor articulated bus because the low floor articulated still does not carry too many passengers especially here in NYC. BTW New Flyer had discontinued building the D60HF Articulated since 2004. The MCI Classic Articulateds would have been a great fit for NYC demanding passenger loads and streets. Unfortunately though the MCI Classic Articulateds were discontinued shortly after RTC & Halifax received theirs and MCI selling their Classics.
(continuation of my last paragraph) to Nova Bus in which they did not continue on with their Classic line and in 1997, Nova Bus discontinued the Classics for their defunct RTS line later sold to Millenium Transit Service and their heavily promoted and continuing into current production the Nova LFS.

Thank God, I know these are one of the best artics for a Classic model, Better than those damn junky New Flyers D60LFs in OC Transpo.

@abc1236948 Yeah NYC would've been better off with these Classics Artics than their New Flyers D60HFs
