Red Deer Transit leased 3 buses from ETS in the fall of 2004.
Included in this group were ETS #305 and 308. #305 was in poor shape and never
did enter service, while 308 is in better shape and has seen service.
This bus is mainly used on school runs. Both buses still have full ETS paint
scheme including decals and roll signs. #308 has an RDT logo above the driver,
but other than that there is no other Red Deer markings on the bus (that I saw).
308 was later renumbered 1331 sometime in 2005

Deer garage with ETS #343 being the only other buses being visible? |
