[edit] Fleet Information

I noticed somebody has added some fleet information. Nice work :)

I took the liberty of expanding on that, and divided it up into the current fleet and the past, or retired fleet. I've also added the years in which the buses were purchased, and their fleet numbers. I've only gone back as far as 1969, so I didn't get into the GM Old Looks that Dartmouth was running, or the Brills and Birneys Halifax was running prior to that.

I wasn't quite sure how far back to take it, as Metro Transit didn't exist prior to 1981, yet the buses that were run by Dartmouth Transit and Halifax Transit did become Metro Transit buses once the companies were merged. I was thinking about adding information to the article about which fleet numbers came from which transit company, Dartmouth or Halifax.. but I figured most people wouldn't be as interested in it as I am.. but for the record, everything numbered in the 100's was DTS (Dartmouth) and everything in the 400's and 800's prior to 1981 was HTC (Halifax).

I think city council may have ordered 25 or so buses a month or two ago, but I'm not sure. Anyone know, so it can be added to the bus count? Ouuplas 06:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Yep; HRM placed an order for 25 New Flyer D40LFs; I'll add it to the article somewhere --hfx_chris 15:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
