Fleet
Saskatoon Transit's fleet consists almost exclusively of 40-foot (12 m) diesel buses, of which there are approximately 120 in service. Saskatoon also has 3, 60-foot (18 m) articulated buses made by Nova Bus. The 76 buses acquired since 1995 are New Flyer low-floor buses; these now make up more than half the fleet. Eight of the low-floor buses are hybrid electric. 90 buses are required for peak hour service commitments.
In fall 2009, a tender for 3 articulated buses was awarded to Nova Bus. These buses were delivered in April 2010 and officially unveiled at a press conference in front of city hall in June 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word fleet:
“On the middle of that quiet floor
sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
“A city on th’ inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
