1992 New Flyer D40 7001-7010


Welcome to the New Flyer D40 photo gallery. In 1992 Calgary Transit took delivery of 10 New Flyer D40 high floor buses. These were the only 10 D40's Calgary ever bought as they switched to the D40LF in 1993 for new bus orders. These buses have shell seats with some padding, these seats are not as comfortable as those on other CT buses. The D40 came with many powertrain combinations, Calgary Transit's single order have the Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engine with the Voith D863 transmssion. These buses have Vultron III destination signs. The rear taillights were of the smaller version, 4 equally sized lights on each side. Also, these buses were the first for Calgary to feature inward opening rear #7001 received a rebuild in 2005 and #7008 received some refurbishing in the same year. In the Spriing of 2006 #7002 and #7005 became the first buses to be retired. By mid 2009 all remaining buses aside from #7001 had been retired. #7001 is currently based at Spring Gardens and is used for rush hour and school services.
