- Three different electric buses being demonstrated to the TTC at Eglinton Garage. TTC is ordering 10 of each model which are set to enter service in early 2019.
Note: The first clip is the buses leaving Birchmount Garage
Disclaimer: I had permission to briefly enter the property to get a few shots, I was not trespassing.
I would like to see new flyers come back to TTC (plus I like the look of the xcelsiors best..) I've only seen vids of the MTA NYC electric buses, so I'm not sure which of these is better in terms of performance, but the XE40s sound real quiet. Overall, it's nice to see something other than novas
TTC's getting 10 of each bus next year
What buses will be replaced by these?
If the Orion Vii is being replaced, what did they deserve to get this?
These buses will likely be replacing a few of the 17/1800 series hybrids
BIG NEWS! the Orion VII's aren't getting scrapped, THEY'RE GETTING LIVERIZED! (I think I made that word up) TTC's Orion VII HEV #1071 Tore the streets up in a brand new livery! Check it out for yourself!
30 Buses is a good first step however I think they could do better. Edmonton, a smaller city with lower transit usage and a smaller fleet is ordering 40 electric buses and promised to no longer buy diesel buses.
These buses were ordered as test vehicles as a prelude to future large orders. The TTC wants to see which performs better for them under their conditions of usage.
The normal side of me :*Sees desc* and Durham region transit is still stuck with lfs 2nd gens and d40lfs.
Wtf, Durham.
The over exided side of me:I can't express my happiness through chat.
I'm a bit surprised to see Proterra there.
It's early 2019, as promised. Where are they?
First ones (New Flyers) arrive in March
They still need to be fully delivered then commissioned so I'd say they're not gonna start service for at least a couple more months
I personally got nothing against the Novabus LFS because to me they're like the modern day GM New Looks because they too have a rounded windshield, but much like the GM Classics. Like some of you, I do wish TTC had New Flyers again both 40 ft & 60 ft Articulated that way TTC would be as versatile again as it once was 20 years ago 😃
you can NEVER compare nova buses to gm new looks or classics
what the fuck you are saying that bullshit
Dont you fucking EVER compare novashits to classics
Pretty much every bus has a rounded windshield, that aside putting the LFS and the New Looks / Classics in the same category is disrespectful, the New Look was revolutionary for it's time and the Classics brought a more modern-design to the New Look, there's nothing special about LFS'.
TTC needs xcelsiors in their fleet.
Which one of these buses you like best?
For me I like the Proterra the most
I personally prefer the look of BYD however I like that New Flyer is Canadian but I don't like the look of Proterra, or the fact that it's American
New flyer XDC40 for me (XD40CCHARGE)
It's called the XE40
TechnicaProductions isn’t the XDE40 the Diesel electric model. I’m pretty sure it is because I live near San Francisco and they have XDE40’s and XDE60
what kinds were they...one was new flyer, the others unsure?
Proterra, New Flyer, and BYD
Aye we are getting lcd screen :)
The bus is only a demonstrator, it's very likely that TTC's buses will not have the screen.
TechnicaProductions I argree with you:)
@@TechnicaProductions Actually they are. The screens that were installed on the #3xxx Novas are being delivered with them.
@@Novaflyer7000 No shit, but that comment was made way before there was any sign TTC was going to install the screens on new buses
@@TechnicaProductions lol true
The BYD looks a little like the VIVA VanHool New A330!
Meh I don't really see it.
We got lfs HEV's but where are these.
The LFS HEVs were ordered before these were. These buses won't start coming in until March
One year later, they're chilling with me in Malvern and the rest is at Arrow
Why everyone saying byd is nice? Why do u think it's known as build your disaster
Lol
First time seeing these buses in Toronto
This is Birchmount not Eglinton! This is why Isaw the buses near my school!
Bus #3700 has arrived on property. Training will last a few weeks then will be placed on the 35 JANE in May.
Finally some buses to look forward to! Ever since they went low floor haven't been a fan, well to be honest since the fishbowls and classics left. These are beautiful and have that old high floor look to em from the side. Also loving the one with that back window like the old fishbowls.
TTC Could be getting the XDE40 for the hybrid contract that will be awarded in May
Detroit Diesel Series 50 There’s a hybrid contract in May?
fedders4 there's a board meeting in May which they will decide on getting the XDE40s
*_•iiconicResVy•_* They need other type of buses, instead of just orions and nova buses. In Canada, y'all only have two companies, boring, very boring.
*_•iiconicResVy•_* We have nova to. We still have neoplan, Orion, Nabi, rts, byd, flexible mueseum buses, one 40ft Volvo septa bus, opus, MAN, Eldorado and New Flyer buses, y'all still don't have half the bus we have from the past up to now, what y'all have is still boring and dull.
*_•iiconicResVy•_* We have nova buses. I have to admit, y'all make stronger buses compared to the USA.
The last white bus doesn't even have fully working taillights (brakelights) as seen at 3:50.
That's because the bus isn't using the actual air brakes, its using the regen brakes when the driver lets their foot off the accelerator. Those LED strips at the back come on when the bus decelerates but isn't using the air brakes.
That is really a terrible design. If it slows down that significantly when the driver lets their foot off the accelerator, the brake lights should come on. However, out of the 3, that is the least impressive bus anyway based on this video. Very loud for an electric vehicle and it is straight up ugly (especially the top bit trying to cover up the battery packs).
The last bus with the back window? It looks like the old bus from 1987.. I hope that’s not there new concept lol🙄🙄🙄
The new electric buses and the VIIs definitely looks like buses while the LFS doesn't even look like buses
TTC Orion VII 7405 The LFS design has a lot of wasted interior space.
Nova doesn't seem to really want to do anything that's not diesel-based.
*_•iiconicResVy•_* AMEN
Having better suspension isn't always good. NovaBus LFS only improves on emission level, eases rattling, and more faster. Disadvantage of it is that it's out of control because of too much suspension, a waste of capacity, not as safe because of how the rear doors operate, and when about to halt, it likes stops out of control like that I'm about to be pushed. Trust me, I have rode on those and in my opinion, they do have to improve on those if they are ever creating a 5G.
Wow those buses look ugly, except the excelsior ones. Those look awesome. I ridden those on the YRT.
I think all 3 of them will perform amazingly
New Flyer all the way. The other two just didn't seem "nice".
I see what you did there, MTA Nice
@*_•reshirm•_* What kind of fucking names are those?
Buses being replaced: old livery vii's and lfs's (the old livery lfs replaced by the new one) the articulated lfs's will get a new livery coating, then the BYD, X-CHARGE and Catalyst will move in. Heres the link to see the poterra catalyst. goo.gl/images/p3WxVZ and I can't find any X-CHARGE new livery pics, nor BYD, BUT, here's the link for the new lfs-a livery pic. goo.gl/images/21RbXe and that's it.
That livery is just a photoshop, the actual livery will be quite different. Also to to the fleet additions, we're getting 250 Nova Hybrids over the next year or so.
I know, but it would still be SICK
BYD is the Best!!
Ttc! Dont forget the xe60! I NEAD MAH XE60!
The death of diesel is near 😭😭😭😭😫😫😫!
I wish only the new flyer entered service because the other buses look a bit weird looking
i dont think the electric ones will last as long as the diesel buses
TTC has a hybrid electric
OK WHATS THE HATE BETWEEN ALL THEESE BUSES? I think they will preform stunningly. I'm sick of hearing this: "JunkCelcior, G.Y.D. (garbage), and trashalist comments. YALL ARE GILLIG FANS
Anything but not anymore novas and I hope TTC does not buy BYD
TTC has purchased 10 BYDs, along with 10 Proterras, and 10 New Flyers
TechnicaProductions Good!
I vote more Novas when a new lfs design comes out
So that Equals 30
@@ethancampbell6076 well we just build over 100 Hybrid LFS Buses for TTC (im on the assembly line) , they will be around for a while the only reason TTC haven't orderded 100% electric buses from Novabus is that the LFSe is a short range system with more quick recharge wich need extra infrastructures
I swear to god, if thise Junkcelsiors are ACTUALLY going to be Junkcelsiors, I'm moving to LA.
LA is full of Xcelsiors though lmao
Junkcelsiors is that even a thing?
Definition of Junkcelsior: A bus known as Xcelsior, built by New Flyer. Constantly breaks down, provides bad ride quality, and has issues.
Also, LA's Junkcelsiors are the only good ones.
Wow....BYD .... Nice
I bet the AC and the heater still doesn't work 😂😂😂
Alot of TTC bus interiors are poorly designed everyone can agree the current busses are too bright and feel small and those seats in the back where people are forced to awkwardly look at each other are annoying and the AC and heater doesn't work most of the time or the lazy bus driver just opens their window in the summer while everyone in the back is being cooked alive
jachtan crozomer my balls are cooked now
