SMS Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 This weekend there is major work on the Champlain Bridge - as long as it is one lane per direction, the 45 and 90 will be running to Terminus Longueuil. The 45 loads at platform 38 in between wings E and F and the 90 will load at platform 9 in A wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Earlier today our artic lines were run by conventional buses but later this afternoon they switched to the 60 footers. I was sent out to provide extras on the 45. I asked to take out a Classic but the request was rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmnewlook Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Is there any news on the approximate delivery dates for the 2014 batch of buses? I was just wondering and I'm guessing it could be in the fall. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 No mention on our end, if we hear anything for sure we will post it here. I wonder who will be the lucky company to get the first hybrids of the consortium order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmnewlook Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I heard STM will get theirs (MR and maybe AN) in June and be most likely in service by October after installing the equipment and driver training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 The RTL is looking to operate buses on new reserved lanes along the following axes: Roland-Therrien/Vauquelin Taschereau Cousineau/Chambly Gaetan-Boucher/Milan Grande-Allee Jacques-Cartier/de Mortagne A20/A25 Ramp Hwy 132/134 Highway 116 Effective 7 April 2014: NEW route 180 (peak hours only) to Cours Georgiennes in Boucherville; Trainbus 91 to serve Gare St-Basile-le-Grand; Trainbus 92 modified routing; Extra trips on routes 8 and 88 at peak hours; Saturday and Sunday service for route 28; Extra trips on route 87; Route 142 extended; EXPRESS 410/417, new stops at Fernand-Lafontaine and des Ormeaux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 More RTL news (here are the salient points): Route 95 will be abolished on 6 April 2014 Route 29 will have a detour on route towards the end of the line, using rue de Normandie Route 132 will no longer offer travel between TCV and Panama against the peak (IE not outbound in am rush and not inbound in pm rush). Marc-Cantin reserved lane returns into effect in AM rush once roadwork resumes on Aut. Bonaventure Important: due to major work at the intersection of Duke and Wellington, the stop at William and Nazareth will not be served in AM rush. Routes 15, 30, 34, 38, 42, 44, 46, 47, 55AM, 59, 60, 90, 115, 132, 142, and 144 will be detouring via Wellington, Peel, and Notre-Dame to get to the l'Inspecteur reserved lane. No change for routes 5, 31, 32, 33, 37, 45, 49, 50, 55PM, 135, and 150. PM rush routing is status quo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph99929 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 More RTL news (here are the salient points): Route 95 will be abolished on 6 April 2014 Presumably the 99 will run via the Promenades every day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_the_traveller Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Presumably the 99 will run via the Promenades every day? That would be good, I have found service to/from Longueuil to the Promenades to be deficient (except for riders with a CITVR-compatible pass).

tristan Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 The 95 will be replaced by the new T94, a taxi collectif route. It will serve the promenades, "downtown" Saint-Bruno and a medical clinic in Saint-Basile Le Grand. I don't know if it will keep the exact same routing inside the city of Saint-Bruno. The T94 already existed before but served the Saint-Bruno industrial park. It was abolished in April 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm_5307N Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 No change to route 99. Very mysterious and disappointing. To my understanding, route 95 was dead about 99% of the time which is why the RTL is getting rid of it. The drivers that booked work on this route did it because it pretty much meant you were not going to be loading any passengers and have a relatively easy day. This said, it means during the work week that almost nobody travels from St-Bruno to the Promenades. The personal vehicle is the choice way to get around in those parts. A taxibus service is perfectly acceptable for low ridership routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'm going to get my last rides and photos of the 95 today and tomorrow! This is probably my favourite route, it was dead and I always got a Classic on it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmnewlook Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 One less route to check while waiting for my 11 year-old daughter to finish school at École Montarville every second Friday.... Well, at least there's still the 99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm_5307N Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Got word that the very first RTL hybrids are almost ready to be delivered! There due at the start of June in less than a month. Looks like the RTL will be the first one to get hybrids out of Quebec's consortium order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclair14 Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 No change to route 99. Very mysterious and disappointing. Pretty agree with you on this matter ... has a chance to test route 99 last day for a full ride, way too long to do all the milk run around Saint-Bruno, and they are still parts of the city that are not served well by route 99.
