That just leaves 21-261 which is still MIA. ---- Yesterday: 21-220 on the 162 in the morning. It has a new looking white front vent. I didn't see the front when I caught it on Monday, so I'm not sure when the vent was replaced. Today: 21-252 was on the 24 around 17:15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerbil Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Yesterday: 21-217, 219 and 229 were on the 105 during AM rush. I caught 21-229. 21-242 and 21-272 were on the 168 at Robert Bourassa/De Maisonneuve around 16:45. 21-253 was on an unknown route (only saw the driver's side) at Robert Bourassa/René Lévesque around 17:00. Since it was last seen operating out of Lasalle, it was probably on the 420. 21-209 was on the 178 on René Lévesque around 17:00. Today: 21-232 was on the 105 at Vendome around 9:20. 21-266 was on the 496 at Lionel Groulx around 9:45. I caught 21-202 on the 200 around 10:45. It is in really good shape. It hardly rattles and it still has an original front end with no noticeable rust. 21-205 was on the 202 at Fairview around 10:45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Demers Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 6/5/17 21-249 as En Transit between Provencher and Pie-IX on Jean Talon at 15h45 21-223 leaving Villa Maria Metro as En Transit around 16h45 21-219 doing the 103 WB from Villa Maria Metro around 17h15 21-232 doing the 105 WB at Decarie and Sherbrooke around 18h05 21-239 doing the 141 EB from St. Michel Metro at 20h24 (got on it) 21-249 may have broken down as I saw a STM vested guy drop off 26-049 to the driver and he went to go sit inside the 21. It has the checkered bumper and no STM website url on the back. Plus it has a brand new license plate! Frontenac's 21-239 was a pleasant surprise as my ride home, this bus was on that same run 21-233 was a few weeks ago, stayed out until 22h45! 6/6/17 21-236 on the 93 EB this morning around 8h45 21-202 on the 201 at A40 service road and St. Jean around 20h30 St. Denis 21-202 must be on loan to St. Laurent recently. Since the 201 is confusing I can't tell you if it was leaving Fairview or going to Fairview. Nice to see it running all day though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Demers Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 21-258 might look retired but an article from the Journal de Montreal says otherwise. 21-258 will be painted but will also be put back in service this summer to be retired by 2017's end. http://www.journaldemontreal.com/2017/06/08/trois-bus-de-la-stm-repeints (Credit goes to mrmontreal66 for providing the link) -- 6/7/17 21-268 on the 93 in the morning 21-214 on the 55 NB at 8h18 21-257 on the 161 EB in the morning around 8h45 6/8/17 21-257 on the 161 WB around 8h45 21-257 has graffiti on the back where the rear ad goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they have a source to back that statement up, because it seems like it would be a lot of effort to restore them to the STM livery given their age. http://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2017/06/08/trois-autobus-de-la-stm-repeints-comme-des-uvres-dart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M106 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 According to a source, Stinson has now receive the majority of hybrids between 37-001 to 37-039. 80% of them are already active. They are about to receive 10 to 15 more in the next few days. So the 21-xxx based at Stinson (most of them are between 21-216 to 21-235) are on a hot seat for the retirement or at least, to be active in another division before the retirement. Keep in mind that the summer schedule (equal less service) begin the 19 of june. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Demers Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 So it looks like 21-254 returned to Frontenac from Anjou. Now for my backlog of sightings... 6/9/17 21-249 arriving as the 188 at St. Michel Metro around 8h00 21-242 doing the 10 NB at Jean Talon/Delorimier at 8h06 Rare to see a 21-2xx on the 10 as this route always gets the 31s or 32s. 6/10/17 21-203 doing the 141 EB at Jean Talon/Pie-IX at 14h37 (got on it) 21-211 doing the 141 WB at same location at 16h42 (got on it) 21-227 doing the 141 WB as the bus after at 16h46 21-258 on St. Laurent halfway painted. 21-203 still has the 3 from a Classic on the front. All three have the checkered rear bumper. About 21-258, I am convinced this bus is coming back to service. First of all, they carefully taped off all the mirrors and the lights on the bus. Even the license plate is covered (A 74xxx)! Second, the side paint job seems "light" as you can see the numbers still underneath. The bus has no farebox but the iBus screen is still there and STM security is watching it. 21-258 is definately a Frontenac bus, has the FR sticker and the checkered bumper. Does anyone know where could the other 2 buses be for this mural fest? 6/11/17 21-206, 21-209 and 21-261 in the front rows inside Frontenac 21-259 parked outside Frontenac 21-261...yep you read that right! The one bus not spotted yet in this thread was seen this evening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to be interesting to see wich buses will be transfer to other CT. 30-176 to 30-182 have moved to St-Laurent and like you said, 30-021 to 30-029 have been transfer to Lasalle. Others will probably follow this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerbil Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 The second bus is 21-206. It still has a fare box. Other sightings for today: Despite the arrival of another batch of hybrids, the 2001s are still out in full force at Stinson! 21-219 En Transit at Vendome around 8:00. 21-231 on the 105 at Vendome around 8:00. 21-222 En Transit at Vendome around 15:30.

This sighting isn't actually that special. Anjou, Lasalle and Stinson don't seem to pay attention to the "bus avec rampe en avant" designation on the schedules. Some supposedly accessible runs end up having rear ramp equipped LFS more often than front ramp equipped ones. The other garages, however, do seem to follow the schedule, so accessibility violations are notable. --- Yesterday: 21-231 was on the 105 at Vendome around 10:30. 21-205 was on the 204 at Dorval around 11:20. 21-217 was doing a Stinson extra on the 460 around 16:50. 21-228 was En Transit at Du College around 17:15. 21-232 was on the 175 at Du College around 17:15. 21-221 was signed up as "Special" at Gare Mont Royal around 17:50. Today: 21-218 was on the 105 at Montreal Ouest around 8:55. 21-219 was on the 162 at Montreal Ouest around 10:20. 21-254 was on the 168 at Robert Bourassa/De Maisonneuve around 16:30. 21-239 was on the 90 laying over at Vendome around 17:30. This run is usually late and skips the Westmount portion of the route, starting its WB trip at Vendome. It was at Frontenac only 2 days ago!
