Sauga Transit 0617 and 0629

Sauga Transit 0617 and 0629 are 2006 New Flyer D40LFRs that were introduced in mid-2018.

Overview
As part of fleet expansion, these buses were ordered to provide more frequent service, in addition to providing more vehicles for an increasing number of employees. These buses are the oldest units in the LFR series and the second oldest class still in operation following the retirement of the 2003 models.

The units are generally the few buses to not suffer from collisions and incidents along with the 07xx, with 0617 having no incidents while it was in active service.

Unit 0617 retired due to it being involved in a major collision, which resulted in the bus being written off.
