[@PillowMintRefresher]

as a child this nostogic sound is

[@SCOTSDOC]

SO THIS IS NOT A BALLARD BUS. Where are Canada's cutting edge technology Fuel-Celled buses?? We have invested $ Hundreds of Millions in BALLARD The Ballard buses were to be in commercial production years ago. Where are they??

[@Jacob619619]

@Bakuneon - Yes, it is still at the Burnaby garage

[@LPenn0505]

Which is better, New Flyer Hybrid or Orion International Hybrid? I say Orion, what do you think?

[@bchydrotransit]

LL0505 hydrogen fuel cell is better

[@LPenn0505]

@GordonFreemanD40 Well Houston METRO is replacing our older fleet of buses with Orion hybrids. We already have 176 of them. We only have 40 NFI Hybrids. I didn't like Orions at first, mainly because they are replacing our articulated buses. METRO won't buy any more artics. Do you all still have artics?

This is an awesome bus i love it.

[@ShinHolyAyato]

wow i rode on these one time on route 43. quite rare actually. the sound is awesome NEW FLYER FTW!

[@Jacob619619]

@Bakuneon - these two new flyer de40lf hybrids are very hard to find. however, there are novabus lfs hybrids at metrotown station often. new flyer de60lfr articulated hybrids, you will find them at either broadway station, sfu, ubc, burrard station, production station, and even joyce station running on 43 express.

That's the widest "head" (tank) I've seen.

I dont think Ballard is coming into the market again anytime soon. UTC seems to have taken over in the fuel cell market for transit buses.

[@douro20]

These buses make 400 horsepower and 1200 ft-lb of torque from stall to full speed!

[@SCOTSDOC]

I think these buses are pretty good and have a future IF THEY ARE ECONOMICALLY VIABLE as transit vehicles over the normal life span of a Transit bus.

[@Transit159]

do you have any pictures?

[@Aquarius11212]

u can say that again

[@bchydrotransit]

what route is this on

[@ehtransit1306]

130

[@Bakuneon]

damn nice sounding bus :)

[@Bakuneon]

What route was this on

[@Bakuneon]

@Jacob619619 do they still have these?

[@shirleyliu2159]

I have to ride that bus

[@Bakuneon]

@Jacob619619 does it come out to metrotown often?

[@DCAreaTransitFan]

@LPenn0505 ohh no newflyer orions break down alot and are slower

[@Bakuneon]

@Jacob619619 aw, i wanted to ride one of these, rode all the new Hevs , de60lfr plenty of time, How often do they go to metrotown anyways? like once a month?

[@Jacob619619]

@Bakuneon - 130 Phibbs Exchange from Metrotown Station

[@therrydicule]

I really like these bus: they are quit stable and the sit are o.k... But they probably need new one, of the same model if they are willing to in Vancouver... Or they need to review their schedule, because with all the bus late (considering 2 minutes of time: if the schedule say 1:45 and it is 1:48, this is late for me) or that finish to be followed quit near on the ride number 41, 49, 9, 22, 20, 25, 13... Something seem quit wrong to me; sometime, it is to the limit of a reputed metropolis.

[@8v71buses]

Wow this doesn't so bad at all :-)
