OC Transpo Hybrid 5002: Broken Down

This bus was on a route 8 Billings Bridge on run 8-7, and on February 13, 2009 the bus was leaving Hurdman Station, and turned onto Sandford Fleming (Canada Post Garage) and their was a beep noice that went off in the drivers area, and the drive pulled over while at a red light (which turned green) and so I started recording. We later got a Invero which took all the passengers, except me, because I went to go get pictures of the bus broken down.

Engine: Cummins ISB
Battery: Lithium-Ion

LOL I think OC Transpo has yet bought another batch of lemons to go along with the D60's. Our tax payer money is going to good use.

We don't own any D60s. D60s are the New Flyer articulated buses but High Floor. We have the D60LF, which is the Diesel Low Floor model.

Has this bus been repaired and returned to service?

[newflyer800]

Yes.

still going to be a huge mistake, think they would have learned with past mistakes (ikarus) though they where better in the winter with that mid drive, we will have to wait and see i guess, they look sharp though...

What does the ikarus have to do with this Hybrid bus? The only major problem with the Ikarus was the joint rusting, which was too expensive to replace. The problem with our hybrids is that OC Transpo is not using them properly and causes them to break down, or require more maintenance.

ya i was talking bout those ones.i just say D60S for short.

[busrailfan]

Not the only major problem was artic joint rusting. Bodies were ruisting prematurely as well along with exhaust leaks as well.

well, TTC mainly has lead-acid battery powered hyrbid buses. we have the lithium-ion battery powered ones which are a lot better.
