(Compilation) TTC's 79 series buses. The final months in service.

The last 79 active was recently retired from service. 7941 finished its trip on the 40B Junction Dundas West at around 7:25 PM on March 4th, officially ending the era of these buses. These are clips of them in action during their last months of service from November to March. Enjoy!

Congrats on 500

I gotta chance to ride 7941 for the final time on March 4th. The driver was really nice, he allowed me to sit in the driver's seat. I will forever remember these beats 💪 18 years of service 2006-2024

That was the last unit I rode on the 73

Seeing this awesome thumbnail you made using Adobe Express, i decided to do the same thing for my upcoming OG Diesel Retirement Compilation. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@FinchtheTTCfan]

No problem!

Always jealous majority of the west end of the city got these buses, yes they were on the 36, 60, 53 routes but I wish they also came to 39 and 25. 39 in particular where I live at Brahms since it's a big hill and listening to these rip it up the hill late at night would've been amazing.

The 7900 series have served in Toronto for 18 years which is the same year duration as the 2005 MiWay because the MiWay 05s also served in Mississauga for 18 years. TTC 7900 - 7979: 2006 - 2024 18 years of service and MiWay 0501 - 0572: 2005 - 2023 18 years of service MiWay 0601 - 0653: 2006 - 2023 17 years of service. I will always remember these beasts in Toronto and Mississauga.

I miss them so much 😢

[@FinchtheTTCfan]

There’s still the 80s enjoy them while you can

[@MyTransitGallery]

Same & I can't believe that time has gone on by so quickly & fast on the 79xx. I miss ridding on the 79xx so much.

[@TheOGDieselFanatic]

@@FinchtheTTCfan yes but half are retired

[@Scj9700]

For the longest time. I always thought the back vents on the Orion VII's looked like a person raising their eyebrows. 🤔 Like this Emoji for example. Since then. I've never been able to unsee it. The 79xx's may be gone. But we still have the 80xx's until they're all gone. Suffice to say. The Orion VII's have made an impact on public transportation in Toronto for the greater good. It will be a damn shame once these beasts are fully retired. Im gonna miss em like many other transit enthusiasts.

[@TheOGDieselFanatic]

The 79xx and 80xx are the best buses the TTC has, hands down. I'm actually doing a retirement compilation for them

[@Scj9700]

Agreed. They'll be no other buses like these iconic diesels

[@TheOGDieselFanatic]

@@Scj9700 I've said it before and I'll say it again: once these beasts are gone, I'm done with the TTC

[@FinchtheTTCfan]

That’s an interesting observation! You’re right they kinda do look like thar

[@Scj9700]

@@FinchtheTTCfan I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees that then
