| The last of the Flyer E901A trolley buses were retired from active service in Vancouver on April 20th, 2008. Many had already been withdrawn from service in the year and a half leading up to that final day, some of which had already been scrapped.
However, 80 of the new trolleybuses have been given a reprieve from the scrapper. It was confirmed earlier this year that these buses would be sold to the company running transit in Mendoza, Argentina. Representatives from the company sifted through the dead buses at OTC and hand-picked the 80 that they would buy at a cost of $2,300 apiece. On October 31st, 2008, members of the media were granted access to Fraser Surrey Docks where the buses were being loaded onto the ship that would take them to South America. Special thanks to Drew Snider with Translink, Brady Erno with Fraser Surrey Docks, and all others that made this photo opportunity possible. |
