CALGARY TRANSIT
1997 Ford/Overland ELF #8502

Calgary Transit's first Ford/Overland ELF was delivered in 1997 and was Calgary's first accessible bus dedicated to shuttle bus service.  It was originally powered by CNG up until sometime in 2002 when it hit the CP Rail bridge near the Victoria Park Bus Garage.  After that point, it was converted to gasoline power and was used on the Chinook Shuttle route in recent years.
