are any of the hybrid going articulated?

No, probably not till 2025 or until STM puts articulated buses on more routes. Each bus is supposed to last 16 years and they were introduced in 2009. They might go even earlier since these buses are already in bad shape, plus they can't even put them in service during the winter.

Question:

Has anyone spotted 38-051 yet? Do we know for sure it's the first unit with the new driver's window?

38-051 has been spotted about a month ago I think. It's first unit with the new driver window and new seats. 38-050 has also been spotted, it's the same window has before.

 

38-078 his the highest unit I saw myself.

I took 38-037 on the 90 around 7:20 this morning (SL extra; 203-64).

38-073 was doing another SL extra on the 90 (90-16). It was laying over at Atwater around 7:50.

The 90 has a lot of extras during AM rush this board period. To illustrate, here are the departures heading westbound from Atwater:

  • 6:37 - 90-10 SL
  • 7:37 - 90-06 LE
  • 7:56 - 90-16 SL
  • 8:16 - 203-64 SL
  • 8:40 - 51-42 MR

So there are no Lasalle buses on the 90-W from 7:17 to 9:06. Not to mention that there are a few more LE and SN extras that only do eastbound departures.

38-XXX will be off the road until furthur notice. problem with the new electric doors, some have already been corrected so their still might be a couple on the road

Someone posted a video on YT of 38-016 having problems with its rear door. Could that be the likely culprit?

38-037 is likely one of them, saw it today on the 17.

I looked around SL on iBus this morning and quite a few of them were out. Maybe 1/3 of the vehicles out at that point were 38-XXX. I'd guess that it's a quick fix.
