[Request] Invero

Yes a north american bus but I think it would make Canadians happy. Here I'll give you a link to a paperbus model of the verson I want.

Paperbus model of the Invero

This is also what the buses look like in Canada's capital and I think they fit the look of being the Canadian Capital.

A little history about the Invero:
I ride em everyday (ME!!!) and they are quite smooth ride and some info can be found there (It's the D40i). It can carry 90 people in real life. They are planning on making a articulated verson at the end of the year but I beat em to it by making a articulated verson of it. Check it out. Only OC Transpo has gone crazy for this model and we have around 300 buses here. Everyone else has under 10. This bus almost did die but OC Transpo saved it and it's a good thing too.

There's the breif history on the Invero. OC Transpo saved it's life. I'll get you guys a few pictures too.

BTW The Articulated Invero is right now fictional, So is the TTC Invero Artic because Toronto no longer has Artics.

You can do it if you want. Just would be nice since OC Transpo saved the model.

Yes double post but yeah...

Anyway I just looked at the Specs and turns out the Axle is made by MAN. I didn't know that.

Also here's a Hybrid Invero:


No one has bought any yet... I expect no one will too since they look like a Camal.

There's a paper Cardiff Bus here if you want a companion for that freaky looking Ottawa bus.

We finally got our bendibuses, but only time will tell if they're a good idea or not.

[Breeze646]

Lol you think it's freaky well that's a first I've heard of it...

Everyone on the other board that I was talking about and where I upload my paperbuses says it's the best looking north american bus. Tobad it's not the best north american bus. (That's because of some problems but I think it's the best north american bus)

But I have to say the Hybrid is truely freaky!

Now just hope you guys don't run the bendi-buses (proper name is articulated) like Toronto did where they run less frequent then any other bus route. The way they run them makes it have no diffence weather it's articulated or non-articulated. The 501 where the ALRV runs is the most infrequent streetcar route in Toronto and because of that it doesn't make a diffence weather it's a ALRV or CLRV.
In otherwords it will carry the same ammount of people if they ran CLRVs instead of ALRVs.

When I lived there, the bendibuses only ran along Steeles, and though I never saw them busy, I was never riding them during rush hour to or from Finch.

I'd have thought the ALRVs would be run on Queen Street, as that's where I always remembered them. Or, failing that, on the Harbourfront/Spadina line, but then I realized they might not handle the tunnels and underground terminii too well.

The Invero's tail lights are the funniest looking bits, I think.

well, we don't have 2-doored buses in the local publictransport. The 3-doored articulated bus is quite bad too, eg. MAN Ng272...if a person in the end of the bus wants to get down, he/she has to step on every people in front of him/her until he/she reaches the door if the bus is crowded.

[Breeze646]

Lol yeah they are quite funny but nice at the same time. They go by my house every 15 minutes. (The Inveros that is)

Now all the Buses here in Ottawa that are Articulated has 3 doors too but it's not hard getting to a door except on the 95 which I always advoid. But it's quite easy if you are pushy. All you do is ether say excuse me or just push em. That's what I do if I am forced to take the 95.

This is our Articulated Buses (Which this type of model was supposted to be phrased out by the Invero. Instead this model was phrasing the Invero out):

This is a D60LF made by the same makers as the Invero

But there is a Invero Artic comming out at the end of this year and I bet OC Transpo will forsure buy it. Because we are the only city with more then 10 Inveros. So that makes Ottawa, Land of the Invero. All were missing is a Invero Artic then we will be truely Land of the Invero.

Those funny racks on the front are for carrying bikes, right?

[Breeze646]

Yep!!! You guessed right! 20 Points for you.
