Cimon8000

BTW the new garage is just RIGHT BEHIND the current La Quebecoise facility in Sorel.............it's already built up and finish during my visit there last month

just found this picture on another site, photo is not taken by me Congratulations to Sault Ste Marie finally getting new buses...............it's time to say goodbye to few of their Classics................also good that they are no longer getting Orion!!!!

make sense for them to be suburban.............given the Dupont Cartier and LFS in the fleet are suburban with one door configuration as well...........no point for these buses to fly on the highway to Sorel with 2 doors XD40 Suburban is really something new............btw it's time to say goodbye to their Dupont Cartier.......... it's quite suprising that Quebec will be the 2nd province to get Excelsior in Canada.........even ahead of BC, AB, SK and MB which are NFI territories(not quite these days with NOVA start getting in).............none of the TA there can smell an Excelsior............ u better hope that is not coming true........................NFI is nth comparing to Nova in quality trust me!

that's real sad to see them going............especially Beaver Bus Line #28.............together with Orion I 953............luckily i photo most of them during my last visit to Winnipeg in June

how many Classics they have remaining right now?

i hope they can cancel this order in the last minute...............this product is proven to be a failure in Hong Kong and New York...........piece of shit is the only comment i have for it...........btw when is it going to arrive? wondering when will the next order of buses coming in for STL? I will be coming back next April and wondering if any Classics would remain on the road at that time. Thank you

any clue when will the next new order for STL be arriving? I am looking at coming back next April after the winter and wondering if any Classics would survive until then? Thanks

they should see if Sault Ste Marie is interested or not, or even Guelph Transit...............

Just wondering what are they going to do with the rest of the 14 Novas(OC)..........and where are they being parked now?

ok so down to 34?............wow numbers have been dropping so fast!

flatbed to Saskatoon or driven? I don't see a problem with them being driven to Saskatoon given those 100 times worse ex-STM units can be driven all the way to Vancouver from Montreal as well

interesting that they are not picking up a 04's model but a 01's one this time................

absolutely a good news on that..........then there's hope of delivering on time..........

if i go for Quality i would just go for Novas.........NFI just depends on you luck if you get lemons or not.......and you can see system that switch from NFI to Novas, would never go back to NFI.........you see a reason behind! there's always a reason for higher price tag........you can't pay the price of a honda for a mercedes............

just wondering if all those ex-Whistler Dennis Darts, 9905 to 09 and 0001 to 0007 have been rebuilt or not? There are rumours that they are being renumbered and being transferred to other small communities, where are they located right now? Thank you. Moreover, did all the darts get rebuilt already? and any news when will the next 15 Yaxing buses arrive?

anyone know when is the official last day for Fishbowl? There is rumours that it will be on Dec 16 but anyone can confirm this? Thank you

looks great, thanks for sharing, btw is 225 in service yet? moreover, is there any Orion VI being repainted into the new scheme? Thank you

anyone can update the active list for the Classic articulated in Metro Transit fleet as of today? Thank you

interesting...............but it's not hard to imagine since both SunWin bus and NovaBus are under Volvo.............so............ would love to see if LFS is running in Shanghai one day............or the other way around, SunWin Volvo B7RLE running in North America?!

btw any plan for RTL to rebuild their Vanhool artics? Eventually all the 01s and 06s are all in beat up shape and look like they have been running for 30 years.........cracked bumper and panels, paints fading and peeling off OMG.............they looked even worse than a Classic also most if not all of the Vanhool artics got that AMT Express decal above the windows while the Nova artic don't have that(thanx god), what does that stand for?

I am just wondering if we should move all the Orion VII NG diesel or whatever broke down spottings to "GENERAL SIGHTINGS" or not.........eventually a broke down Orion VII is nothing special...........it's MORE special if you can't see one broke down in a day...................that piece of shit!

Thanks for the update on the active Fishbowls always!!! Really appreciate that!

thanx for the update...............FINALLY they are going to change their scheme.............. Eldorados for Barrie, absolutely something new for them eh..................I can add Barrie into my visiting list for next spring then~~

I missed 9-001 which is the oldest bus in RTL fleet now during my time up there...................!!!!! anyway i got 17 Classics during my time there including 5 90's, 9 94's and 3 95's and I am happy with that..............special thanks to a few board members here who always provide accurate information into helping us to find these great buses out!! Thanks again!!!

So I wait for bus today 2:45 for 39 Britannia W. Bus is over 5 minutes late, meaning I will miss my connection to 44 at 2:55, which means I miss a lecture. This is outside of rush hour and 39 serves no schools, so theres no excuse. Just pure laziness. How much do these peopel get paid? $26 an hour? It's not worth it totally agree with that...............you wait until the LAST MINUTE to catch a bus for your LECTURE, it's YOUR LAZINESS don't blame the bus schedule or the operator.........idddddddddiot! i feel bad for the transit operator who has to serve a customer like you............he should get paid $36 an hour at least! also plz check the dictionary and find out what "traffic condition may varies" mean before you blame...........OMG
