EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
2013 Goshen GC II / Ford E-450 DATS shuttles #s 5131-5180  

After losing Corbeil as a potential bus supplier, and testing a handful of Diamond bodied buses, ETS decided to return to the Crestline-Goshen GC II body of #5001. While based on the heavier duty Ford E-450 chassis (#5001 was an E-350), these buses were also the first since #5001 to include Triton V10 gasoline engines. They feature updated front and rear ends, as well as front destination sign glass (despite the fact they will probably never need destination signs). The glass was eventually covered over to provide a space for recording equipment after the buses were all refitted with security cameras. This order, delivered in 2013, consisted of about 50 units. Units 5156 and up have larger fleet numbers for some reason.
