stm_5307N Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 It appears that St-Hubert is receving galo 210XX buses and that Longueuil will take in return gash 211XX buses. The transferring of vehicles has already started! I think it was Tristan that mentioned to me that GASH will be activating the wheelchair ramps on the 2010's which is why there all going to be at GASH.

SMS Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I was away in Florida for two weeks so I'm kinda out of it, have the new hybrids entered service at the RTL? No sir but you can bet money that they are saving their unveiling for the Jeux du Québec I think it was Tristan that mentioned to me that GASH will be activating the wheelchair ramps on the 2010's which is why there all going to be at GASH. It makes no sense, they can wait, as GASH does not have any accessible bus route. Until that happens, nobody at GASH will be trained on accessibilité universelle. This is straight from one of our instructors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm_5307N Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 RTL 20412 had an engine fire by the looks of it. Parked out back of GALO, still with farebox. Don't know if they will scrap it or fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellergraham Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I saw RTL 21412 today and an all white Hybrid on Boul. St-Martin in Laval on Essai Routier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm_5307N Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 RTL hybrid 21403 just delivered at GALO in back of the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Does the RTL swap buses to even the mileage? STM does more and more of that these days. Needless to say St-Laurent gets low mileage buses to make them run. I spoke to one of our gareurs and the answer is yes although it was not made clear to me which garage will do most of the running. I suppose GALO has the advantage since they have a lot of highway routes and long routes like the 88 and the 99. GASH is the king of short routes with action like the 39 and the 47. Currently, 21100 and 21300 series buses are being sent to GALO to activate their ramps - for example, I shunted 21311 a couple of days ago. GASH has a couple GALO buses to compensate... I have recently driven 2-0004 and 2-0221 on GASH routes. RTL hybrid 21403 just delivered at GALO in back of the garage. As of yesterday 21401, 21402, and 21403 are all at GASH and are awaiting service. 21401 is the only plated vehicle so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Demers Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 What is the deal with all the STM buses carrying this "On n'est rien vole!" sticker below the driver's window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novalfs26001 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 What is the deal with all the STM buses carrying this "On n'est rien vole!" sticker below the driver's window? You'll see those stickers on STL and RTL buses also as well as on police cars, fire trucks and city vehicles. It's to show our disagreement with the government's proposed law on pension plans.

You'll also notice that all police, firemen and bus drivers in Quebec are in civilian clothing as of today as a sign of protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm_5307N Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 nice finally they have some "real" bus back for their transit service! Only saw the cut-a-ways in transit service but you never know, they could throw these on a regular line at anytime. No markings on them though. The LFS is all white and the Orion V is all grey.

Chris_the_traveller Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yesterday on the Casino shuttle I didn't see anything but NFI's! One of them, #1237 had the green stripe, but no CITSV logo. Also: spotted this Séguin bus today passing Vendôme metro. It appears to be the same type of bus that CIT Roussillon has: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transbus has the contract for the Casino shuttle and they only have NFI's when it comes to transit buses, so that's all you'll seen on that shuttle. As for 1237, that's one of the new 2014 XD40's only running on the shuttle with large Transbus logos on all 4 sides. I think you meant CITSV logos and not CITVR.
