BCTRANSIT needs to send us the parked NewFlyers that they parked when other cities got brand new buses they parked there NewFlyers that still run & still can be used so prince rupert has back full size buses again instead of these cheap Europian or Asian built buses & BCTRANSIT have full size buses that are just sitting there in a yard & Prince Rupert is always last to get working buses so sign this so BCTRANSIT sends Rupert full size buses now that we are growing & ridership is increasing & if bctransit sends these cheap Asian buses they might send us 27ft buses or 30ft buses these buses are to small for Prince Rupert now we have had full size buses before like in 1999 when we had a fleet of 40ft buses so send us the NewFlyers now we only need 9 NewFlyers to replace our 10 Alexander Dennis Darts Pointer buses that are falling apart or on the verge hanging on by a thread so please sign this to show bctransit & get them to send us 9 of the parked NewFlyers out of the 134 & im sure there are enough parked now to send us 9 NewFlyers then the new buses that are delayed to send us they can send these new smaller buses they can send to a smaller town then rupert & they can send us 9 of the now parked working NewFlyer's like in the pic

We need 40feet buses for our town. We dont need the small ones. This buses would do so much better for elderly people and family's that have children in with there strollers.

Look at these new Vicinity buses we got we were supposed to get 3 of these new buses but Kitimat stole one & replaces it with a 35ft Dennis Dart Pointer the exact same broken Buses we have now if they traded us a new bus & replaced it with one if there broken Buses the same model broken fleet we have when BCTransit has yards across BC with these nice 40ft NewFlyers & NovaBus still in great condition nothing wrong with them when Prince Rupert has the worst fleet with BCTransit our fleet is literally holding on by a thread all of our buses have transmissions that are about to blow & give out almost all LED destination signs are broken & cant see what route is next some have heaters that don’t work & none of our buses have working air conditioners with that 1.6$ million that city hall our mayor & BCTransit spent wasted 1.6$ million on smaller buses light duty plastic cheap buses when I researched we could have used that 1.6$ million on the NewFlyers just sitting in yards across BC at 8,000$ a bus x10 80,000$ & use the rest of the money to rebuild refurbish them & send them to California to convert them to a ZEPS electric bus we could have had a fleet of ZEPS electric buses be the first & this would be great to rebuild rupert green plan & jump Prince Rupert & BCTransit 10yrs ahead to have a fleet of electric buses just one brand new NewFlyer Xcelsior electric 2017-2018 Bus we could have 3 ZEPS electric bus so why doesn’t rupert & BCTransit go green instead of wasting taxpayers money the cost of one electric NewFlyer 2017 Bus we could have had 3 converted ZEPS electric buses & save the parked NewFlyers & NovaBus just sitting in yards when BCTransit can send the over 134 NewFlyers make a deal with Complete Coach Works in California & leap BCTransit 10-15yrs ahead towards there green plan & the same with the rebuild rupert plan I think this is what our mayor should do send these buses back to BCTransit & use that money to have a fleet of ZEPS buses Complete Coach Works is
