EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
2008 Corbeil / Ford E Series DATS shuttles  

For the sake of fleet expansion and replacement of a few units (most notably #5003, which suffered major fire damage in 2007 and was subsequently written-off), ETS placed an order for 6 additional Corbeil shuttles in 2007/2008. At the time, Corbeil faced major financial difficulties and filed for bankruptcy. As a result, only one unit from this order was ever completed and delivered to ETS: #5097. Aside from a few minor spotting differences, such as updated E-Series badging and additional wheelchair logos, this bus is identical to those of the previous order. #5097 was retired and sold by early 2014.
