3001
3001 BC Transit did have the prototype BC Gas TDH5303 - #3001. It was in
fact the first experimental dual-fuel vehicle.
The CNG was injected into the air intake while diesel went in
through
a much smaller than normal injector. The bus started on 100% diesel
until the intake temperature was high enough to ensure the
CNG/diesel mixture would vaporize. The diesel would then drop to
about
5% and it served only to lubricate engine seals. Other buses run on
100% CNG suffered from seal failures becaus...

TransLink puts alt-fuel buses into service
TransLink has put two test buses, powered by a blend of hydrogen gas, recovered from an industrial process and
compressed natural gas (CNG) into regular service carrying passengers.
The buses, converted 1998 New Flyer coaches as part of TransLink's Bus Demonstration Project, have been going through
evaluation for the past two years. Now, they are in service in the Coquitlam/Port Coquitlam area, carrying fare-paying
passengers to ...

Comparison of Modes
Adding up to a cleaner environment
Transit Exchange, July/Aug. 1998
Both trolleys and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses play their part in reducing pollution in the Greater Vancouver region. Along with diesel buses, they make up most of the BC Transit fleet. How do trolleys and CNG buses rate pollution wise? And how does each of these technologies compare in cost? After covering diesel buses in the February issue of Transit Exchange, we now tackle the rest of the fleet.

news 01/01: From a source in Victoria: Tridents were not to be put
out in service New Years Eve. But, apparently, they were.
Three had seats slashed on the upper deck. All have
been repaired using spare bolts of cloth sent over from the UK
with the buses.
Overall BCT is pleased with the Tridents and will likely
exercise its option for more, but this time with Alexander
bodywork.
Trident 9009 seems to be the odd man out... its body

Victoria numbering system
The Beginning
BCER's Victoria division operated the first motor bus in the company's fleet in 1922, numbered one.
Twenty-two coaches entered service through the end of World War II, and these were numbered V1-
V22, the letter to differentiate the bus from the mainland "M" series. When the first Brill C36s arrived in
1946, they initially carried a 2 digit number in sequence with earlier coaches; in short order all Victoria
