Orion V 9441 Posted February 25, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 25, 2014 Last night, I managed to catch Orion V 9420 on the 162, a very rare sighting.

ttcsubwayfan Posted February 27, 2014 Share #5 Posted February 27, 2014 Why is it a rare sight? The 162 is generally designated as a low floor route, meaning that the Vs rarely are dispatched onto it. The OP can correct me if I'm wrong, but, outside of the 29 and 107, I believe it's rare for a high floor to be dispatched onto an evening shift.

Orion V 9441 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted February 28, 2014 The 162 is generally designated as a low floor route, meaning that the Vs rarely are dispatched onto it. The OP can correct me if I'm wrong, but, outside of the 29 and 107, I believe it's rare for a high floor to be dispatched onto an evening shift. The 9400 series buses can also be found on route 509 (replacement bus), it is also common to see a few on routes 105, 106 or 196 every once in a while, and rarely, the 124 gets one (since one of the runs originates on route 29, then goes over for the evening rush). The TTC restricts its high floor buses like the MTA does with its Artics. I still wish that these were CNG, with the L10G engine, but it's current power train (cummins M11) is my favorite engine sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaveragejoe Posted March 23, 2014 Share #7 Posted March 23, 2014 9400's can be on 107 on weekends regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
