Ride on RTC Quebec Métrobus 1667 (2016 Nova Bus LFS Artic HEV - Aug. 22, 2016)

Here is Réseau de transport de la Capitale 1667 running on route 800 Terminus Beauport on its 3rd full day in service. These articulated hybrids were inaugurated on August 20 as part of the start of the fall schedule along with the introduction of the Métrobus 807 (replacing route 7), route 19 (replacing route 10), and in December, Métrobus 804 (replacing route 87). The RTC is the second transit operator in Canada to operate a Nova articulated hybrid, after the STO, which I have also filmed. At the time of filming, only 5 are active, and the RTC will receive 23 by the end of the year.

This bus sounds so good!

[@naturallyherb]

It does! You should come to Quebec one day and see them! Although in the Vancouver area JetSet Parking in YVR airport has very similar LFS hybrids with the BAE HDS200 powertrain that sound equally as good.
