TO SPECIAL - End of an Era: TTC 1996 Orion V ex-CNG Last Ride

One of the TTC’s senior mechanical workhorses really just a big, old bus — enjoyed a final run down the 196 York University Rocket line before it was sent to pasture Friday, December 4th, 2015. More than 50 public transit fans boarded TTC bus No. 9411, the Commission’s last remaining Orion V model, to celebrate its retirement. TTC spokesperson Danny Nicholson said the decommissioning marks “the end of an era” in Toronto transit history. Shortly after arriving at Downsview Station, the bus’s fans cheered as its destination display flipped to "not in service" for the last time. Manufactured by the now-defunct Ontario Bus Industries, the Orion V buses were known for their robust design when they joined the TTC in 1996. At 40 feet in length, and six inches wider than previous models, the heavy-duty commuter’s massive carrying capacity made it a perfect fit for Toronto’s busier routes. The Orion V buses were the first in the TTC fleet to be equipped with wheelchair lifts, and the first to be installed with bike racks. The commission has since upgraded to a modern, low-floor fleet composed of 1,570 Orion VII buses, 230 Nova buses and 50 low-floor Flyer buses. Now at the end of its operational life, the last Orion V is due at the TTC’s Wilson Station. A scrap dealer will recycle the vehicle’s parts, minus the high-tech trimmings like the GPS and communication system.
