Aren’t there lots of super-crowded routes that could make use of them?
Articulated buses don't fit at the stations we have, I am guessing they didn't want to order them too soon. But yeah, they definitely seem far off, given how crowded our routes are today and how close LRT is to launching. There could be facility limitations (arent they building a new storage facility too?). That being said I'm happy if crowding continues to force increases in frequency instead of larger vehicles.
As for electric, we have got to at least be planning to get some, this is a five year order. There are places which plan to have transitioned entirely by then I believe and we won't even have considered ordering one.
They won't have any garages that can fit the 60' lifts until the Northfield Facility is built, which won't be complete until 2021
