TTC 2023 New Flyer XDE60 9402

Taken on Sunday, March 24th 2024.
Today I was fortunate enough to catch a brand new bus to the TTC Fleet, a New Flyer XDE60 9402. These are the first order for Articulated buses from New Flyer and are also the first order for Hybrid Electric Artics in TTC'S fleet, these buses (9400-9467) are being delivered to and entering service out of Mount Dennis Division, they are slowing entering service and can be found on routes 29 Dufferin, 329 Dufferin Blue Night and 941 Keele Express. These buses also have the LCD screens located in different places due to the HVAC being located differently on the Diesel Electric models than its Electric (XE40) counterpart, as a result similar to the XDE40'S (7200-7333) the front LCD screen is located to the right above the bag rest, and in the back the rear screen is located above the left rear seat barrier.
Bus: 9402
Engine: Cummins L9
Hybrid System: BAE HDS300
Seating: American Insight seating
Destination signs: Luminator Horizon
Fleet: 9400-9467
Route: 29 Dufferin
Division: Mount Dennis

Thanks, ikr she was very fast. Too bad it wasn't a 929 though, we probably would've bypassed the 29😂

These have the new bae maps modular power steering which makes the bus start on battery mode not the engine when the engine is off

Um I read the description and Mount Dennis won't be the only garage to operate the XDE60s, but McNicoll is expected to receive the half from Mount Dennis and will operate on the 903 and 953 as well as the 17, 39/939, 43, 57, 129, 968.

I'm aware of that, but McNicoll isn't done training yet so it wasn't worth mentioning hense why I didn't put anything there.

They're there now. Description is needed to be fixed.
