RED DEER TRANSIT
GMDD Rebuilt T6H5307N's #500-505, 507-508, & 510-513, 515

When Red Deer Transit decided to rebuild its remaining GM New Look's, 7134 was the first one to be sent out to Metro Collision in St. Catherines, Ontario. 7134 arrived back at Red Deer Transit on November 23, 2000, and entered service on December 14, 2000. #500 has a darker shade of blue paint on the interior than the newer rebuilds. During rebuilding, the seats were replaced, Bailos destination signs added, a rear turn signal on each side were added, and the bus repainted, among other things. All the rest of the rebuilds were similar to 500's rebuild except the interiors were different shade of paint after rebuild.
