The Seven Oaks School Division buses have different displayed route numbers than the other school charters. They're also the only ones that are paid for by the division, and don't collect fares.

948 on the 75-18. I can't imagine this ever happening again, or how it happened in the first place.

There weren't as many people at the U of M so I guess they  got away with it

Plus, it's the shorter 75 so...

Here’s my photos of 948 on the 75 and S437

When there was more D30LF's, the same thing happened to the 11 and 40.

Trust me, back in 2015, there were 30fts EVERYWHERE! , off the top of my head, I Remember seeing them on routes 14, 16, 18(?), 22, 32, 36(!), 44, 46, 55, 59(!), 60, 64(doesn't exist anymore), 66, 77, 78 and possibly many more...

[Isaac Williams]

Nowadays the D30LF's have designated "SLF" runs. These SLF runs, which are currently the 68-1, 68-3, 87, 88, 95-4, 95-5, 96, 98-2, 98-3 and On-Request, are the only runs they're supposed to go on. So it's a bit of a mystery how a D30LF ended up on the 75-18, and nobody noticed the mistake.

YES! 
Thank you! I remember those! 943 on the 64/185 was in 2020 during Corona so it wasn't that weird...

And yes i rode 95-2 on the 64, it was awful...

Side note: why are d30lfs never out of bg?

I think some 30ft runs used to be out of BG when there were more D30LF's, but now there's only 12 left. It's probably better to save space in BG for the artics, and just have the 30ft runs out of FRG (and NG). Not to mention, if D30LF's were in BG, dispatch could screw up and put them on the BLUE, lmao.

Or even better drivers can take them home

All 3 lengths of bus on the 75. I don't have a picture of a 60-foot on the regular 75, but I know it's happened at least once, back in 2018 or 2019 or something. I do have a 60-foot on the X75 though.

I'm not sure how many routes have gotten all 3 lengths of bus, but I'm sure it's a small list. Especially if you don't include 2020 or 2015.

I remember there was one day in September 2018 when all 3 lengths were on the 51

51 only ever once it gotten a artic. I tried to go get a pic but it was signed up NIS at Dakota and St Mary’s. It was a 160 run that I do remember 

[Viafreak]

The 11 has also gotten all 3 lengths if I recall correctly. The one time it got a D60LF was on a Sunday, so it was out of Fort Rouge.

Yes that is correct. 984 on a Boxing Day. 
 

also 56 has gotten all 3 lengths. Back during the Covid change there was a run that did a 54 then chartered back downtown to do a 56 only happened once

[Isaac Williams]

The 55 has also gotten all 3, and outside of 2015 and 2020 too. Here is a photo of 941 on the 55, and here are references to artics on the 55. The 32 and 41 are on the list too. Here's a reference, and below are my own photos (the 32 artic interlined onto a Bomber run, the 41 artic was in 2020).
