9145 was another 1991 Orion V, shown parked in the lay up lot near Lebreton Station with 6128 on August 30, 2005. At the time, this bus was one of only a few Orion buses in the old livery still in service.

9244 is shown at Hurdman Station on Dec. 20, 1997. The housing for the A/C condenser unit can be seen in this photo, but it had also been disconnected at a cost-cutting measure.

Throwing it all the way back to 2001! The original O Train cockpit.

Who use to ride this beauty!? I worked on Preston and watched it daily.

9819 was a 1998 Orion V, shown here at Confederation Square on February 20, 1999. These buses were not equipped with air conditioning, and were among the first buses purchased with vandal-resistant seating.

9849 was one of only two 1998 Orion V buses to have been repainted into the full “maple leaf” livery, after having spent a few years in a full-body ad wrap for a major high-tech company. It is shown on St. Laurent Blvd. in Manor Park on Oct. 25, 2006.

9861 is seen here on Slater Street in June 2001. The livery on this bus was only used on buses purchased during 1997 and 1998; in 1999, the “maple leaf” livery was introduced.

9871 is shown on Slater Street on Nov. 24, 2010. This bus was the last Orion V in revenue service and was ceremonially retired on July 12, 2011, making the OC Transpo bus fleet 100% wheelchair accessible.

9828 was spotted on Oct. 20, 2001, unloading passengers at Bayview Station. Compare the back of this bus with 9126 and 9139, which were equipped with A/C.

I'm going to start posting a bus a day! My uncle use to drive one of these!

9884 was seen on the Mackenzie King bridge behind the Rideau Centre on Sept. 5, 2003. Delivered in March 1999, this bus was one of the last high-floor buses purchased by OC Transpo.

@smwgilbert Do either @JimWatsonOttawa or @AllanHubley_23 care to tell the public the reason behind that or they only tweet to tell us how great the new heaters work?
