**EXCLUSIVE** OC Transpo 8792: It's last days....

OC Transpo 1987 GM Classic 8792 has now been retired from revenue service. Considering I may never see it again on the road, I decided to have a buddy of mine rev the good ol' 6V71N engine on this baby.

Sounds awesome, doesn't it...

oldest bus now is 8904 :S

[newflyer800]

I'm very aware of that.

NICEEE is it still being used for OC Shuttles or has it been scraped?

[newflyer800]

It's still being used as a Shuttle Bus. I was able to ride it today around the Garage, and to Hurdman.

Oldest bus left now is 8903?

[newflyer800]

not yet. 8792 isn't fully retitred, it's still being used as a shuttle bus at the st.laurent garage. I use it as my lunch shuttle bus. :P

@qwandiddy And who would have expected that OC would have retired all of these GM's plus the rest of their entire Classic fleet in less than 10 months since this video was recorded!

Montreal never ordered 1987 Classics either. I wonder if it had to do with GM transitioning to MCI back then, because our TC ordered a bunch of 1988 Classics on the south shore of Montreal, and many Montreal drivers came to check them out to see how different they were from the MCI's! They had no rear window either.

@MysticMTL Its weird that STO never had no 1987 Models but other year models of Classics.

Such a shame, this bus looks very clean inside and out. I'm not surprised they kept it in service for so long. I wonder if the STO would be interested in acquiring it?
