Moar ded RTS


Recommended Posts

(and other transit photos)

 

So I was in Toronto again today. I stopped by the Arrow Road garage, from where the RTS bus operates, with the hope of photographing as many as I could. Well, as it turns out, the RTSes were no longer parked in a location visisible from the street - the ready lines at the front of the division were filled with LFS Artics and Orion VIIs. I managed to photo two, and one was blocked by a car. Fortunately, I had a photo of that bus from before.

 

But then, I returned to the garage where they stored the dead RTSes, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were different ones at the front of the group then there were on the 31st. I'll be back here again in April, as I need photos of some who's MTO stickers expire at the end of March.

Damn, nice pics. Sucks to see those RTSs go.

 

Any sighting of 8400?

 

Thanks! I agree with you, I wasn't the biggest fan of RTSes for a long time but they've grown on me in the last few months. At the rate things are going, they'll probably be gone before the summer... I think there's around 20 left, and the end of March will see 9 more retired.

 

Nothing on 8400 from me - I don't think it was delivered to either Arrow or Mount Dennis; if I'm not wrong it's a Wilson bus. And 8401 isn't due to arrive until June, so I'm lead to believe that 8400 will act the same as the first unit of any other bus order, undergoing testing and modifications like until the rest of the order arrives.
