RTC (Réseau de transport de la Capitale) in Québec City 9225 is a 1992 MCI Classic artic. This is one of the two fleets they have purchased as a trail test along with Halifax. Majority of those Classic artic runs on route 800 and 801 Metrobus due to high ridership. However, both of the units do not run in service often as the aging of the fleet and alot of maintenance as well. At times, they can be either see either one in service, both or none.
Both units will be retired once the Nova LFS artic arrives.
Powertrain is DDC 6V92TA with Allison VR-731 3-speed (high gear ratio).
UPDATE: Both units are now retired as of June 2009!

I worked for the RTC in Quebec City, I remember driving that vehicle a couple time before it got retired in 2008-9. For me the fun part of driving that bus was to see the smile and reaction of peoples when they saw that bus arrived at their stop.

That's very cool! Seeing articulated bus whenever in-service as possible was the best! I had seen both in service which is great as I only see one per day!

wow man. I love it when it goes from 1st to 2nd gear.

If the rear end is highway geared, I would think it is a 4.56:1 rather than the 5.38:1 that is suited toward common city traffic.

It is an utter tragedy that RTC and Metro Transit never saved *one*.
