TransLink puts alt-fuel buses into service
TransLink has put two test buses, powered by a blend of hydrogen gas, recovered from an industrial process and
compressed natural gas (CNG) into regular service carrying passengers.
The buses, converted 1998 New Flyer coaches as part of TransLink's Bus Demonstration Project, have been going through
evaluation for the past two years. Now, they are in service in the Coquitlam/Port Coquitlam area, carrying fare-paying

Comparison of Modes
Adding up to a cleaner environment
Transit Exchange, July/Aug. 1998
Both trolleys and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses play their part in reducing pollution in the Greater Vancouver region. Along with diesel buses, they make up most of the BC Transit fleet. How do trolleys and CNG buses rate pollution wise? And how does each of these technologies compare in cost? After covering diesel buses in the February issue of Transit Exchange, we now tackle the rest of the fleet.

A little history here. In 1973, American Motors decided to get into the

news 01/01: From a source in Victoria: Tridents were not to be put
out in service New Years Eve. But, apparently, they were.
Three had seats slashed on the upper deck. All have
been repaired using spare bolts of cloth sent over from the UK
with the buses.
Overall BCT is pleased with the Tridents and will likely
exercise its option for more, but this time with Alexander
bodywork.
Trident 9009 seems to be the odd man out... its body
was built in Birmingham, England, not Portugal. It

Some friends of mine and I recently made a day trip to Victoria to
ride the Trident double-deckers and the Dart low-floor buses. The
transit strike in Vancouver is leaving us gunzels with withdrawal
symptoms!
The drivers seem to love the vehicles, both manufactured by Dennis.

The Unified Provincial Fleet numbering system.
Early in 1975 the Bureau of Transit Services introduced a new numbering system for all transit vehicles
in the various fleets in the provinces. The intent was to assign a permanent number to each unit
regardless of the number actually worn by the vehicle in the system it was assigned to. In addition, the
UPF number would be worn by the vehicle when it was assigned to a Small Communities system.
Since 1994 the UPF number system has been abando...
