Edmonton Transit 1974 GMC

[@ppc7400]

I miss those old buses.

[@etransit]

They aren't completely gone yet. There are still around 50 left in service, even though all 231 D40LFRs have been delivered. Personally, I still manage to ride a GM almost every day, but I do have to go out of my way to do so ;) The remaining 50 GMs will probably be kept in service a little while longer, just to help with bus shortages.

[@etransit]

No more are being retired at the present time, however there are so few left (

[@etransit]

No :P Those two were retired after this video was shot. There is probably a stockpile of spare seat inserts somewhere, and they just pick random colors from those.

[@etransit]

The 231 D40LFRs delivered in the last year or so were originally supposed to replace all of the GMs, but of course ETS found that they would be short buses if they did that.

@etransit - Sadly now the GM's are now gone from the Edmonton Transit Fleet. Still got about 100 of them left in Calgary though! Come see 'em before they are gone too.

[@busrailfan]

And to add, that seat insert is the wrong color to be from one of the 200's.

[@omega4chimp]

@busrailfan some of them should be kept as running as antics or something.

Are those old GM buses are all gone ? because I can't see any of those on the street, and buses that take me to school (Route 8,9)

[@jackieliem2007]

tell ETS to buy 400 more buses, I think the problem will be fix ~^.^~

[@jackieliem2007]

I known how ETS got their bus shortages, because they keep open some useless routes with no passengers on it even it rush hours, the buses is no 1/4 full ~.~ In the other hand, the bus routes that I alway take everyday, I alway had to stand near the front door. ~.~ p.s: sorry for saying this, but I hope ETS to buy more D40LFR to replace those old buses ^V^ because personal I do not like those bus at all.....
