New Trolley Busses
I finally got to ride on one of Translink’s new electrical trolley busses, a New Flyer E40LF. It has taken a while, considering that I am taking two bus lines twice a day, five days a week (that’s 20 bus trips). To be fair, they don’t have too many of them in service yet.
However, there are at least two on the #9 route, probably more, considering that I’ve seen them every day, mornings and evenings for the last two to three weeks or so and even on weekends.
The older busses (they are Flyer E900 models) were built in the early 1980s. To me they look more like they were built in the 1960s (if that). It may be just me, but the way the chassis looks (inside and out) — and I am talking manufacturing, not dirt or rust or something — doesn’t say eighties to me. Not even close. 
Anyways, new busses are being deployed and one can see them in service more and more these days.
