Before you all start sobbing. The Orion VI was a complete lemon. They were catching on fire in many transit agencies. Plus it sucks because it’s completely low floor.
Eh Pace’s Orion VIs were too bad. At one point they were the backbone of the pace fleet. Good thing they retired them before the VIs even had a chance to start acting like lemons.
Ese es fin de un vehículo que sirvió por años a la comunidad,ojalá que la mayor parte de sus partes y piezas puedan ser recicladas,para que así vengan todo ese material a ser parte de un nuevo autobús. Aca en Chile, lamentable es que los buses que se usan acá,tienen mucho de fibra de vidrio y plástico, por lo que la mayor parte de sus carrocerías no son reciclables y por lo tanto producen un problema de contaminación ambiental. Creo que debería exigirse a todos los fabricantes de carrocerías a nivel mundial que todos los materiales utilizados en sus carrocerías deben de ser reciclables ; de lo contrario nos estamos llenando de basura que no podemos tratar ,creando un gran problema medio ambiental.
In all honesty, I love the VI. I worked on many of them in Ottawa and found them to be a great bus. Sure they don't rank with Silversides or Classics but they were a decent bus that held the road and did the job.
@@ellymaury4585 Buses are not people. They need to be ripped apart and the metal recycled. If you would like to buy them and store the junk, you are welcome to do so.
@Sonic57053 The Transit Fanner Well, Buses are not animate objects. I appreciate you may have an affection for them, but they are not the same as living people with brains and central nervous systems. You need to cut to the chase and realise this. Yes, preserve buses if you want to do so yourself, but don't rely on others to do it.
When many believe a former school bus or even a transit bus could make for an epic mobile office or even a motorhome when they couldn't bear watching a grappler take chunks out of a former Ottawa transit bus.
These buses could of been given to a village or a small town instead of a scrap yard I would have these good buses , very sad to see them go for scrap.
Do you know if some of the old OC Transpo GM New Look buses went to the scrapyard, or were they mostly bought up by other transit agencies and bus collectors? The New Look is a much more iconic bus than the Orion VI, but I'm still sad to see the Orion VI's gone.
14 years on the road isn't enough, the old 1980's- 1990's Nova buses in my city on MTA New York City Bus are still being used today, most of them are. But the Orion v series are not being used anymore, I guess those buses are being scraped, too. Both of them, Even the CNG series. Not the ones on the Long Island bus group.
Because there aren't people in mass wanting to do that. Faster to sell X amount to a scrap yard. FYI, OC did sell 20 of them to 2 other transit agencies in Ontario.
I got to see 4024 and Pine a year ago. I hope they restore it and put it in revenue service or have special charters! Personally, I like 6001 and 8222 the best! Sucks they scrapped An Orion I, III, and NFL from the 80's back in 2007, horrible idea!.
cool but not funny when you are the operator and your job is to scrap a dozen such buses in just an afternoon and your boss expects you to leave nothing but a sorted pile of scrap metal at the end of the day!

They were supposed to keep them run the 139 Orion VI's (originally 140, but one was retired early in 2009 because of extreme corrosion) and run them through a rebuilding program, but the city thought buying 75 double deckers to replace them was more cost effective and much more practical as you may have noticed today if you ride on OC Transpo.
OC Transpo History Nitpick - The first ever Orion VI to be taken off the road was 4083 back in March 2011 due to corrosion. Everything else is correct.
@@loudinvero4516 OC Transpo ordered 139 of these buses in 1999, not 140 of them. The Orion VIs were supposed to be #9901, but was changed to #4001. If they were purchased in 2000, they might have been in the 0000 series which was not favored by their computer system. Also #4083 was corroded and retired for some reason being out of service of 139 Orion VI low floor buses fleet OC Transpo in March 2011 but everything else is all okay.
@@_thebusphotograher_cali Dumb idea, Then you have hundred's of buses that do nothing but take up space. I should have you know OC Transpo preserved 4024 (one out of 140 Orion VI's).
I saw at the Ottawa scrap yard (I think because I saw it when I was outside of the yard) a GM Classic. Also, they should have kept at least a model of each highfloor bus they scraped in 2011. I, myself also like buses.

Hes a boy, with a toy, trying to do a man's job! Time is money, and he's wasting fuel, time, and efficiency just getting his rocks off on that bus. Good operators crush the roof in from front to back, and take big bites of metal from inside the buses walls to contain debris until its empty then fold the walls in and take bites until there is nothing but the chassis. Then peel the floor loose to expose the subframe. Then break in two and toss on the pile.
@@goalie860 It should be more than that. Remember, these were the only large-scale accessible buses because of OC Transpo couldn't buy more Accessible Orion II's in the 90's The Orion VI's were the only accessible buses in the entire system between 1999 - 2003 (excluding the 20 1997 NovaBus LFS, which only had anywhere between 22,000KM - 250,000Km because they broke down so often!)
Well Toronto is out of the question for donations we would deny in a heartbeat! Heres why: We dealt with these buses from 1995 to 2006 why? CNG sucks thats why. The TTC didn't want to scrap the wheelchair position so there was no room for a diesel tank + one bus was towed away EVERY DAY CNG sucks!
They were really reliable for OC Transpo. We have the same problem with a lot of our new 2017 double deckers for some reason... our 2012 have frequent coolant leaks... It's horrible!
These buses were used until 2013. (Majority being retired in late 2012). The oldest units were 14 years when retired. Orion VI buses have a projected lifespan of 12 years so 14 is not too bad for this model.
It is interesting to see where the priorities are in which countries. Especially in today's world, when resources have to be used sparingly worldwide, destruction would be the last resort. The bus appeared in good condition before the destruction. It also applies that a bus must be replaced if it no longer meets current regional safety requirements. I think it's a shame that the buses aren't exported to countries that have extremely poor infrastructure. So this bus would have served well in other countries for a long time before it was scrapped.
Eu precisava muito d uma doação dessa...,um ônibus,para q eu possa fazer dle,uma moradia ( Casa ),haja visto q moro d favor na ksa d pessoas,e não tenho um této sobre a kbça.
As much as I hated them (the seats were great but otherwise I thought they were too noisy,rattled too much, were too dark at night, and had an interior that was, even for a city bus, boring) it`s hard seeing one destroyed after riding these for 9 years.
Err... That's what happens when all 50 Orion VI CNGs that the TTC had scrapped after their final retirement in late 2006 and its fate will be sealed by the remaining YRT VIs. Why can't these things go to a museum like Seashore or HCRY since it was Orion's first true conventional low floor bus? It hurts me more than it hurts them, never better.
That's a shame Maybe this is why no one has one of these transit buses as a personal vehicle Because I guess is when a company retires them they send them to the scrapyard to be demolished
These are my child hood memories late night Acid with the boys on the back of one of these when it was on a 'non stop route' in a big loop
@@golddropper2747 Yep. Only a couple loop routes exist today. 37, 63, 64, 131, and 197

Why are you damaging these buses
They are old, they lose durability over time and become outdated, buses put on over 1000 kilometers a day,
Looks like Glenview Iron And Metal near Smiths Falls. They get a lot of decomissioned OC Transpo buses.
Some places have put beds in old buses and made them available to homeless people so they have somewhere safe to sleep.
Yeah they need to do more of this

Unfortunately, once a vehicle reaches the end of its lifespan, continuous repairs and overhauls don't help anymore.

They got to be kidding. Why this has to be destroyed?
Cause they're a household of dicks that's why
Probably internal issuse that would have been more to fix than to get a new bus
Probably because the Orion VI hasn't been used as a bus in ottawa for 6 years???
Those windows must have had a value. Wonder why they did not remove them before demolition?
"I'm feeling like a wrecking ball."
Wait! I left my bag on the bus!
