EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
2008 Diamond / Ford E-450 DATS shuttles #s 5098-5104  

After losing Corbeil as a potential bus supplier, ETS decided to try Diamond bodied buses. These were the first ETS DATS buses with restyled Ford E-Series front ends, however they retained the same E-450 / diesel configuration as the earlier Corbeils. After evaluating this bus design for a few years, ETS decided against the Diamond body and returned to the Goshen body style of #5001. As of late 2014, all of these buses have been retired and sold.
