Arboc to Supply 35 Vehicles to Calgary Transit

April 21, 2015

Arboc Specialty Vehicles will be delivering a replacement group of 35 new buses to Calgary Transit starting in July. These replacement Spirit of Freedom low floor cutaways were again awarded to Crestline Coach Ltd. in Saskatoon. Calgary Transit currently operates over 150 Arboc Spirit of Freedom’s which are used in conjunction with their heavy-duty buses for their fixed-route service.

Steven Brown, director, business development-bus division for Crestline Coach states that, “we see this new replacement order for Spirit of Freedoms from Calgary Transit as a big statement for medium-duty bus manufacturer Arboc. The fact that ARBOC, can build a smaller cutaway bus that can perform in a demanding fixed route environment such as Calgary is extremely impressive.”

Don Roberts, president and CEO of Arboc says, ”This order shows an extremely high level of confidence and commitment to the small low floor bus.”

Final delivery of all 35 buses to Calgary, Alberta is expected to happen by late summer.
