I was hearing rumors about this, but if 0302 had to be retired because it "burned up", it would probably be in the news. 0304 had to be retired due to a fire, but I don't think the same is true with 0302. Maybe the motor burned, but if that's the case, they probably just need to put a new engine in that one. --174.60.62.57 (talk) 02:57, 27 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Does this section really belong in the article? It seems to be lacking sources. Originally, this article only listed the regular buses, not the paratransit vans. I think we need to cite the vehicles in BARTA's paratransit fleet. --Amp Electric Vehicles (talk) 19:05, 19 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
I just removed the section on the paratransit vehicles. Please don't re-add it again, unless you find a source on the paratransit fleet. --Autumn the cat (talk) 21:31, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
The electric vehicles might not work in Reading because of the hills. Let's remove the part on the electric vehicles. --Autumn the cat (talk) 19:21, 30 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

In 2015, BARTA received 3 40 ft. Gillig BRT hybrids with the BAE Hybrid System (1542-1544). They got more of them this year, and I spotted 4 of them (1602, 1605, 1607 and 1608). If anyone has the info on these buses, I'd love to see it updated on the article page. I removed the 2003 Optima Opus buses from the roster because apparently, they are retired. --174.60.36.232 (talk) 22:11, 23 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
I just updated the article page. There are 4 new buses that BARTA got for 2016 that I've been able to confirm. They did have a small fleet of Optima Opus buses from 2004, but they're basically retired now. --174.60.36.232 (talk) 20:42, 25 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

The Berks Area Regional Transportation Authority article on CPTDBWiki says that 4 of them may be diverted to County of Lackawanna Transit System. The source says that 3 of them were leased by COLTS. 2 of the Opus buses were donated to the Berks Career & Technology Center and Reading Muhlenberg Career & Technology Center for training. --Steven Spafford (talk) 02:27, 13 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
BARTA got 10 new hybrids this year (1801-1810). The CPTDBWiki says they're all 40 ft. hybrids, but I know some of them are 35 ft. hybrids. I saw 1801 and 1805 in service today, and I rode in 1805. I know the first five (1801-1805) are 35 ft. hybrids. I wonder if the other five (1806-1810) are 40 ft. hybrids or if they're all 35 ft. hybrids. These are replacements for the 2005 Gillig BRT 35' buses. --Steven Spafford (talk) 20:48, 19 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
0406, 0408 and 0409 went to COLTS. However, COLTS needed a fourth bus, so then 0410 went to COLTS as well. It did go to the Reading Muhlenberg Vo-tech in December 2016, and 0407 was listed for auction on February 2, 2017. 0410 was still driveable, and 0407 was not driveable. So, 0410 was driven to Scranton, so COLTS would receive the fourth bus from BARTA. Then, 0407 ended up at the Reading Muhlenberg Vo-tech, instead of going to the junkyard. The Vo-tech students also gave it a new look. It used to be red, yellow and white, and the part that used to be red was painted black. --Steven Spafford (talk) 21:16, 18 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
0407 was towed from the property by whoever had the most bids. 0410 was donated to the Vo-tech school after it retired, but I don't know if it remained there permanently or just for the semester. Maybe it did end up at COLTS afterwards. Ben9201996 (talk) 21:41, 4 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
