TTC's first 131 Orion V buses were acquired in 1990-91 following
three years of 40' bus purchases from New Flyer; 25 were powered by
compressed natural gas, while the remaining units were conventional
diesel. Only one of these buses remains in active service (although three are officially considered active); all the CNG
vehicles were retired in 2004 and 2005, while the diesels have been
gradually retired since 2007.
In
the photo above, TTC Orion V #6692 is seen southbound on Warden Ave.
north of Eglinton Ave. on March 17, 2006. 6692 was officially retired from service in January 2009.
