EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
2007 IC Bus LC Series #31-33

Unsatisfied with the performance of the Glaval Easy Ons, ETS began examining additional options for Para Transit fleet renewal. In late 2009, they picked up three IC Bus LC Series units. These buses are ex manufacturer demo units, and thus aren't built to ETS' usual specs. They were most likely built in 2007, however this remains unconfirmed. With the majority of the ELF buses reaching 10+ years in service at the time, ETS probably decided to purchase these units out of sheer despiration for new buses! While ETS ended up choosing the ElDorado Passport body for future orders, the IC Bus cutaway chassis found its way onto the 2013 order of Passport HDs due to the discontinuation of the GMC / Chevrolet C5500 chassis. These buses all included A/C on delivery, however #31 has since had its A/C unit removed. As of mid-2018, all of these buses are retired, having been replaced by the 2000-series Vicinity units.
