9370-9394 Orion Bus Industries 05.501
As part
of a demonstration program by the MTO of Natural Gas buses the TTC received
25 from the Ministry. Orion Bus Industries in Mississauga delivered
25 of these to the TTC in 1990 the first Orion Bus Industries 05.501
in the TTC fleet. Surely they looked different from most of the TTC
fleet with the overhead Compressed Natural Gas tanks. With the delivery
of these buses came the decision by the TTC to build a fuelling station
at the Wilson complex. As of today these buses tend to be the most reliable
Orion model the TTC has. Only a few problems have occurred with these
buses like the retrofitting of the ZF transmissions to Allison transmissions
and the replacement of the old EDO CNG fuel tanks to a newer fuel tank
because of reported leaks.
