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 doors. 2 of these buses received rebuilds (7001, 7008) and 2 were retired in the Spriing of 2006 (7002, 7005). All remaining 8 buses are currently based at Spring Gardens and are mostly used for rush hour and school services. However one or two usually make it out from Monday to Friday for regular service on some non-low floor routes.
