Transitfan39 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Would it be possible to use a 1st gen bus for a possible charter so people like myself who don't get the chance to ride it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 It is possible that I could set something up for a Friday night in December (Christmas Lights) but this is still a long ways away. I will write this news in the 2015 YUL Bus Charters activities thread. For the moment, let's stick to sightings of these vehicles please! I can for instance say that I saw 9-710 on the 83 and 9-814 was also active, both sightings yesterday during the afternoon rush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 -One thing is for sure, there is no shortage of first gen sightings during rush hours, but you have to go to the usual spots to get the action, like Métro Longueuil, Panama, or TCV. Wednesday PM rush 9-802 on the 6 9-925 on the 55 2-0008 on the 86/31 interline Thursday PM rush 9-912 on the 123 9-920 on the 77 9-923 on the 9 9-925 on the 28 Friday AM rush 9-711 on the 78 9-905 on the 73 9-907 on the 75 9-923 on the 14 9-925 on the 13 Obviously I cannot get every sighting as there is a strict no cell phone behind the wheel policy. So taking sightings down isn't like when I was riding the STM in my younger years. Also because I live and breathe buses 5 days a week, I cannot promise that my interest will still be in posting sightings at every moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm_5307N Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Two more 1st gens bite the dust, 9-709 and 9-710 parked with the retired buses in back of GALO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Hey guys! This AM rush 9-624 on the 42 and 9-915 on the 49. GASH has had 9-915 for more than a couple of weeks right now. In my experience, it is pretty rare to see 97/98/99/2000 buses at GASH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
