Kingston Transit MCI Classic #9196

And now for my last ride on a Kingston Transit Classic. I was really looking forward to riding this one, or #9095, because these are the only Classics in Kingston with Voith transmissions and the 6V92TA engine. The only other Voith-equipped Classic I've been on was Oshawa Transit's #128. This bus was going on route 6.

6/23/09: This bus was recently retired due to a bad transmission.

9095 is still in service, it was on the 6 today

Good, because if I can get a ride to Kingston, that's the one I want to ride on (and get a better picture of). I was told it's frequently on route 6.

I believe 9095 is out of the fleet as well. Don't you?

[TC40102N]

That's not what Kingston Transit's shop manager told me.

Death tick at end of clip.

9095 is still in service, saw it the other day.

[ClassicTVMan81]

Well, try and get it before it *is* retired.

[TC40102N]

Unfortunately, no. I never had any luck with those. I will be seeing them at the garage this Saturday, as I've made arrangements to photograph them. They're due to be retired in a few months.

Have you ever rode on any of YRT's 1989-90 MCI Classics with this powertrain (#2044-2047 w/o HVAC; #2048-2052 with HVAC). All were original to Markham Transit.

i like 9196 because it is the only classic with the new age plastic seats in their fleet and for some reason you can just spot 9095 because the front of it has a shape to it that is different from the rest
