Yep the TTC got rid of them for a few reasons. Terrible range, poor reliability(they broke down frequently), fuel tank leaks giving you headaches and they were useless when the compressor broke or was shut down(like the blackout). For a cash strapped system like the TTC, CNG was more expensive and more trouble than it was worth.
