    Ese es fin de un vehículo que sirvió por años a la comunidad,ojalá que la mayor parte de sus partes y piezas puedan ser recicladas,para que así vengan todo ese material a ser parte de un nuevo autobús. Aca en Chile, lamentable es que los buses que se usan acá,tienen mucho de fibra de vidrio y plástico, por lo que la mayor parte de sus carrocerías no son reciclables y por lo tanto producen un problema de contaminación ambiental. Creo que debería exigirse a todos los fabricantes de carrocerías a nivel mundial que todos los materiales utilizados en sus carrocerías deben de ser reciclables ; de lo contrario nos estamos llenando de basura que no podemos tratar ,creando un gran problema medio ambiental.

      Hes a boy, with a toy, trying to do a man's job! Time is money, and he's wasting fuel, time, and efficiency just getting his rocks off on that bus. Good operators crush the roof in from front to back, and take big bites of metal from inside the buses walls to contain debris until its empty then fold the walls in and take bites until there is nothing but the chassis. Then peel the floor loose to expose the subframe. Then break in two and toss on the pile.

    These buses were used until 2013. (Majority being retired in late 2012). The oldest units were 14 years when retired. Orion VI buses have a projected lifespan of 12 years so 14 is not too bad for this model.

      It is interesting to see where the priorities are in which countries. Especially in today's world, when resources have to be used sparingly worldwide, destruction would be the last resort. The bus appeared in good condition before the destruction. It also applies that a bus must be replaced if it no longer meets current regional safety requirements. I think it's a shame that the buses aren't exported to countries that have extremely poor infrastructure. So this bus would have served well in other countries for a long time before it was scrapped.

      They were supposed to keep them run the 139 Orion VI's (originally 140, but one was retired early in 2009 because of extreme corrosion) and run them through a rebuilding program, but the city thought buying 75 double deckers to replace them was more cost effective and much more practical as you may have noticed today if you ride on OC Transpo.

      Nitpick - The first ever Orion VI to be taken off the road was 4083 back in March 2011 due to corrosion. Everything else is correct.

      ​@@loudinvero4516 OC Transpo ordered 139 of these buses in 1999, not 140 of them. The Orion VIs were supposed to be #9901, but was changed to #4001. If they were purchased in 2000, they might have been in the 0000 series which was not favored by their computer system. Also #4083 was corroded and retired for some reason being out of service of 139 Orion VI low floor buses fleet OC Transpo in March 2011 but everything else is all okay.
