ttctae, do you work for the TTC?

[ttctae]

@1torontofan No, i do not

[g4tech]

Modern Junk, get an old bus!

[nicksorg106]

subtle hint to bus company. Get the mechanicics to maintain the buses...that way they don't break down.

Simples

@nicksorg106 before giving wise cracks, make sure they are worth it. They already might be doing it. Dont assume things on behalf of others..

@TTCOrionVII8100 Until our Novas arrive this problem wont be solved. if I wass Giambrone I would go and get Novas like, NOW, and use them to replace the entire fleet of Orions, and also use life-extension on the D40LFs so they have a same lifetime as the Fishbowls. Like that idea?

But unfortunately, I'm not Giambrone, and on top of this, YRT went on strike :(

i live here in toronto a nd th ese new hybrid buses (not sure if this is the same kinda one) are always being towed away or stuck with 4ways on at the side of the road...never recall seeing the old gm fishbowls break down this much.

[TTCOrionVII8100]

My 2 cents. These 2006 Old-Gen hybrids should be pulled for the winter until this is resolved as many critics think it's crap. It's been crap since the 94xx CNG tanks in 1997 when TTC is short of buses, so they ended up borrowing the 35 Utah Fishbowls.

Anyone can think, they should borrow 80 D40LFs from Edmonton or lease em.

is this an ex lancs a1 volvo?

[TheSoxmania]

That is the reason why they want an old bus, like a leyland lynx, Same story with First (uk: leeds) Allmost all of the new fleet of busses that they bought from Volvo broke down within the first day!!!!

@eh4891 Old engine's where more efficient not they burn more fuel but no one gives a dawm beccause they only care about emission. Most mechanics say that new engine 2007-present are mostly junk, since they don't work properly like old engine's use to. Anyways they should make the bus run on Elizabeth May's farts.

@ttctae It's just as I said to you before, you always happen to be at the right place at the right time when these things happen. Great work.
