West Island Transit Fan Posted May 23, 2021 Report Posted May 23, 2021 Since the STL is now the only agency in the Montreal area to still have plenty of buses with the ISC engine running, I thought it'd be interesting to start a dedicated thread where we can place their sightings. 2119 has been spotted at the Novabus factory by a member here, so that could mean the retirement of some older buses soon. To get the most up to date information on which units are active, use @Blue Hybrid Bus' FleetStats website here. I'll start with some sightings from today: 0311 was on the 74 at Terminus Contant at 14:15. 0309 was on the 22-O at Lévesque / Joly at 17:38. 0109 was on the 22-E at the same place as above at 17:46. Kudos to the STL for still running 20-year old buses. I wouldn't be surprised if they're one of the last transit agencies to run the 2nd gen LFS.
West Island Transit Fan Posted May 24, 2021 Author Report Posted May 24, 2021 0413 was on the 31 this morning and 0309 was En Transit going back towards the garage.

I’ll go third, this is 0211 on the 925 just last Wednesday!
Montreal_Bus_Fan Posted May 25, 2021 Report Posted May 25, 2021 STL 0201 and 0208 were at Côte-Vertu this afternoon! @West Island Transit Fan What do you think they’ll do with the parked 00s at their employee’s yard? What are they waiting for?
West Island Transit Fan Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Posted May 26, 2021 @Montreal_Bus_Fan I honestly have no idea. Of course I hope they bring some back in service but obviously that's not my decision to make.
Montreal_Bus_Fan Posted May 26, 2021 Report Posted May 26, 2021 @West Island Transit Fan And what about their MCI Classic 6203?

jge0364 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Posted June 2, 2021 0303, 76 0206 and 0403, 151 0401 and 0404, 144
West Island Transit Fan Posted June 8, 2021 Author Report Posted June 8, 2021 0314 was on an unknown route on the Le Corbusier busway going SB around 12:50. 0402, 0408, and 0409 were all on the 151 this afternoon.
West Island Transit Fan Posted June 18, 2021 Author Report Posted June 18, 2021 0112 did the last EB 252 at 18:19 today.
Frozen Yogurt Posted July 20, 2021 Report Posted July 20, 2021 Spotted 0301 on the 151 this afternoon at Côte-Vertu.

West Island Transit Fan Posted July 31, 2021 Author Report Posted July 31, 2021 0312 was on the 925 at Radisson around 17:05 .
Frozen Yogurt Posted August 11, 2021 Report Posted August 11, 2021 Spotted 0310 laying over at Côte-Vertu around noon. It seems like they're reactivating more older units as the start of fall schedules approaches.
Frozen Yogurt Posted August 17, 2021 Report Posted August 17, 2021 Spotted 0401 on the 151 yesterday, and 0313 on the 151 today. In other news, there's a new line (713) coming for fall, and it's going to be running midday as well between CV and Ste-Dorothée station. Might be a good place to see ISCs.
Gerbil Posted September 11, 2021 Report Posted September 11, 2021 0105 and 0112 are being used at the Village Laval festival this weekend. I'm not sure for what purpose, there seems to be some aluminum inside. 1
@nthony2005 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 0404 on the 925 this afternoon around 17:00
MTL66 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 A friend at the STL has indicated to me that the 2000, 2001 and 2002 have been retired officially. 1
