ETS #7250, a 2024 New Flyer XD40, running SB on 122 Street at 102 Avenue as a route 5 Coliseum. The #5 is currently on detour through this neighbourhood due to West LRT construction-related intersection closures. ETS took delivery of 31 new buses in 2024 (#7237-7267), but only 11/31 units entered service last year (minus #7247, which was damaged in a collision prior to delivery and had to be sent back for repairs). The final 20 could not enter service until April-May because they are fleet expansion (rather than replacement) units that were unfunded prior to the spring signup. It was likely more-economical for New Flyer to build all of the buses at once, hence the early build and delayed service entry.
Golden Arrow #1526, a 2025 IC Bus CE Series 72 passenger school bus, parked on the NW side of Kingsway Mall. Golden Arrow has recently taken delivery of at least two of these redesigned IC buses. This is the third generation CE Series product, featuring the International MV Series chassis. It replaces the 3300 Series chassis design that had been in production since 2005. |

Cardinal Coach Lines operated commuter bus
service between Airdrie and Calgary from 1980-81 until Fall
2010 when the City of Airdrie initiated service of their own commuter bus
service on October 4, 2010. The top photo shows one of the buses Cardinal
originally operated, #283, a 1976 Blue Bird with a Chevrolet C60 chassis. 20 years later we find #283 in service with Cardinal Coach Lines, now back to to being a yellow school bus. The bus had since been fitted with a wheelchair lift behind the front door. |
