Friday: • 22-394 and 22-400 were on the 105 in the afternoon. Yesterday: • I caught 22-306 on the 105 at around 9:50. • 22-384 was on the 90-O at Vendôme around 10:00.

A picture circulated yesterday in Spotted:STM on Facebook concerning vandal damage on 31-237 and 39-021 at CT Frontenac. Quite unfortunate that a new bus like a 39 series already needs to be out for repairs. Thursday: • MR's 26-059 was on the 104 in the evening. This bus has shifting patterns similar to 26-020, and formerly 22-301. • AN's 30-138 was on the 105 in the evening. Friday: • FR's rocket 26-025 was on 37 in the morning. • MR buses 25-235 was on the 113, 25-239 on the 495 and 27-018 on the 110 in the morning near Angrignon around 9:15. • MR(?) 26-085, SL's 28-100 and 37-059 were on the 105 in the afternoon. 37-059 has been listed as inactive on @West Island Transit Fan's spreadsheet. • I took MR's 25-201 on the 104 in the evening. Today: • 32-027 was on the 90 this afternoon. • SL's 28-073, LS's 29-064 and 37-059 were on the 105 this evening. EDIT: 30-090 was on the 14 with its display programmed as "14 Atateken".

Friday: • I caught AN's 26-064 on the 105 in the evening. Yesterday: • I took MR's 26-054 on the 90 twice, in the morning and on the afternoon. • MR's 26-059 was on the 168 during the evening. • FR's 27-021 was on the 37 in the evening. Today: • LE's 24-271 was on the 90 this afternoon.

Tuesday: • I took 23-210 on the 420 in the afternoon. Today: • I caught Painted-bus 22-323 on the 105 this morning at 7:30 (FR extra 105-09). I was lucky enough to ride on all 3 of these buses on the same bus route and on the same run. EDIT: I saw 22-397 was on the 420-W this evening at 19:05.

Yesterday, I saw 22-368 on the 17 in the evening.

As for the loud takeoff, I noticed it too on 39-XXXs as well as on the first half of the 37-XXXs, weirdly (37-001 to 37-054). IMO, these buses probably have similar components for their starters, but that's just my guess. I am glad that you shared these videos because I also noticed one thing that these TTC hybrids tend to do when they takeoff that the later half of 37s (37-055 to 37-107) also did when they were new. At 10:58 of the silent video, the engine seems to rev really high during takeoff while the bus was on what seemed like a flat road. I can remember taking 37-058, 064 and 066 last year and these buses accelerated just like that and would pick up speed much faster than other hybrids. Today, the STM hybrids only rev high when on load, uphill or at speed on a highway. Curious to know what changes were probably made. Also, 25-217 is a LS bus. ----- Yesterday: • LE's 24-211 was on the 113 at PM rush. • FR's 39-040 was on the the 105 in the evening. Today: • I caught FR's 26-023 on the 105 during the AM rush running out of Stinson. • FR's 26-028 was on the 78 this afternoon. • MR's 27-020 was on the 90 at PM rush. • I took SL's 28-032 on the 105 this evening.

Yesterday: • 22-403 was on the 113 in the morning around 7:30. • 22-384 was on the 406 in the evening at 18:30. Today: • I caught painted bus 22-407 on the 105 this morning around 7:25 (FR extra 105-09). I have yet to take 22-323 which I hope to take before it retires. EDIT: 22-417 was on the 32-N this evening at around 22:10.

I caught 22-396 on the 17-S early this morning around 5:30. It looks in great shape.

Yesterday: • AN's 29-017 was on the 105 at the AM rush. • I caught FR's 26-035 on the 113 in the morning. Today: • I caught 26-054 on the 51 this afternoon. It is missing its STM logo on the front left side. • MR's rocket buses 25-228 and 27-020 were on 138 this afternoon.

Yesterday: • LE's 24-205, MR's 25-245 and AN's 39-066 (FR extra; 105-09) were on the 105 at AM rush. 25-245, like its sibling 25-246, also seems to have the elevated floor at the first row of seats at back of the bus which is atypical of 2005 Novas. • 39-035 was on the other FR extra (61-52) on the 105 at the same time. Its rear fleet number has the old font. Today: • I took FR's 26-029 on the 104 just before noon.

• I caught 23-227 on the 105-E during the AM rush on FR extra 105-09. • 22-332 was on the 17-N on Décarie/Sherbrooke at 8:35.

I caught 23-235 on the 138 this morning around 10:45.

Thursday (forgot to mention): • I caught 79-632 on the green line in the morning. It had the old terminus arrival announcement which I prefer much more to the new one. Yesterday: • AN's 30-184 was on the 104 early in the morning running out of LS while their 39-077 was on the 105 at AM rush running out of SN. Today; • FR's 26-022 was on the 138 this morning. • MR's 26-069 was on the 78 this afternoon. • MR's 37-084 was on the 17, also in the afternoon. • MR's 27-017 and FR's 27-024 were on the 90 this evening.

Yesterday: • I caught FR's rocket 27-022 on the 104 in the evening. Today: • 26-086 was on the 406 this morning. • I took MR's 25-246 on the 113 this morning. It's the only bus older 26-021 that I can think of having the floor at the first row of seats behind the rear door as high as on the rest of the rear.

• I caught 22-408 on the 105 this morning at around 8:25 (FR extra 105-09). That was one catch that I was not going to let it slip! • 22-307 was on the 17-N this morning at about 8:35.
