Matt Demers Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 And that's not even a Stinson artic on the 485! Gerbil did St. Denis get all the 22s from Stinson or some? If some can you list them? -- Anjou's 30-207 was on the 92 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 AV sighting yesterday morning, 20837 on the 4, the problem is that the sighting was just after 6 am, when the garage is full of accessible buses that can be dispatched. I drove 20413 for my pm piece, in the morning it was on the 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerbil Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 19 hours ago, Matt Demers said: Anjou's 30-207 was on the 92 this morning. It was at Lasalle this morning doing the 90. It was supposed to be on the 104 all day but got changed for 27-535 (104-44) The same thing happened with 104-43, another all day 104 run: it was 28-051 this morning and but had changed to 29-100 when I saw it later during PM rush. 90-16 got a change off today too: it was 23-219 when I took it on the 420 around noon, then several 90 departures immediately after that 420 trip were cancelled. 24-291 was doing the run on the 90 during PM rush. 19 hours ago, Matt Demers said: Gerbil did St. Denis get all the 22s from Stinson or some? If some can you list them? I don't know where they've all gone. I'm trying to keep track of the ones I see. I'm guessing quite a few went to SL, since they received a lot of routes from Stinson. I'm surprised SD got anything, since they lost the 55 (which needs a lot of buses) and received the 144 (which only has 2-3 buses most of the day). 22-258 was on the 144 this morning, so that one is at SD. I took 22-249 on the 90 during PM rush, so that one is at LS. LS 25-219 was on the 105 this morning operating out of Stinson. 30-034 was on the 420 during PM rush. 25-222 was doing the 77. Isn't this route supposed to be front ramp only since it's providing wheelchair and limited mobility accessibility to the MUHC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was at the corner of St-Jean / Douglas-Shand at 2:45 pm going eastbound. Are arctics even allowed to be on this route? Proof: (sorry for the poor quality, I had to act quick haha. Unfortunately, I could not catch the run number either) Artics are not allowed on lines other than 80, 100, 165 and 470. A memo was issued today to the drivers at Stinson due to this incident. Apparently it got assigned by error and the driver was new and didn't know better. On another note Stinson has almost only 37-000s as far as 40 foot vehicles. This is besides the 29-000, 30-000 and 31-000 that are supposed to be used on the 747. There are so many luggage rack buses that they do make it onto the other lines quite frequently. There are also a few odd 2nd gens still around. For example I got 25-219 to do a school special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Demers Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 The 139 had a lot of 40 footers running on it today. Among them were: 22-209, 23-220, 24-265, LaSalle's 24-298, Frontenac's 26-039, St. Denis 29-013 and 31-136. 31-123 was on the 197. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerbil Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 29-085, 29-095 and 29-103 were on the 90 yesterday while 29-107 was on the same route today. There was another one (29-0X7) broken down at Atwater yesterday - I didn't see the number clearly due to the dark. This week, I've seen ex-Stinson 29-075, 079, 085, 088, 091, 095, 099, 100, 103, 107 at Lasalle; @Frozen Yogurt saw 29-092 at SD and I saw 29-084 still at SN. I predict that LS will get the whole series from 29-072 to 29-108. 22-300 was on either the 90 or 37 yesterday. In other news, a lot of hybrids seemed to be getting stuck in the snow yesterday: 37-082 was stuck at the Elmhurst loop (halfway into turning right onto Sherbrooke), with another hybrid stuck blocking the entrance to the loop. 37-089 was stuck on Upper Lachine at Decarie blocking the underpass; an STM tow truck pulled it out while I was walking by (my bus got stuck behind so I had to walk). On 1/12/2018 at 7:43 PM, Frozen Yogurt said: Also, this morning I was on a 37- hybrid, and I got a planibus of the 90. The 90 has lots of extras this board period (lucky me!): 6 runs from Stinson, 2 from Legendre, 2 from Mont Royal and 1 from St. Laurent. You probably got a bus that had done one of those Stinson 90 extras the day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Demers Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 22-402 was parked inside Stinson. 31-093 was on the 204. The GPS tracking said it's due to arrive at the stop in 4 minutes but it came 4 minutes early! Bus has yellow lighting and turn signals on the mirrors.

West Island Transit Fan Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 32-031 was on the 202. Don't think this is a SL bus (Is it a FR bus?) A 37 hybrid was driving southbound on St-Charles around 8:10 PM. It was signed up as the 485 but continued straight instead of turning on Brunswick. Driver probably forgot to set it to En Transit.

Yes, 32-031 is a FR bus. For some reason FR applies a chequered bumper to their buses, so that's a good way to identify them. I'm pretty sure the iBus system is supposed to change the signs automatically now. It seems to mess up frequently though, I often see buses signed as the 105 deadheading past people at Sherbrooke/Elmhurst. It's kind of funny to see how angry some of them get. - Yesterday: 29-084 was on the 37 in the morning. 30-046 was on the 90 all day. LS 24-231 was on the 160 around 21:00. AN 30-217 was on the 51 around 21:30. Today: On 1/14/2018 at 11:29 PM, Matt Demers said: 22-402 was parked inside Stinson. It's at Legendre now. I took it on a LE extra of the 90 this morning. 29-108 was on the 90 in the morning. I took 29-080 on a nightmarish 90 trip during PM rush. My normally 30 minute ride took well over an hour, and the bus was crushloaded the whole way. Maybe Lasalle got Stinson's 30-XXX too: 30-036 on the 123, 30-037 on the 63, 30-041 on the 107, 30-044 on the 63. AN 22-219 was on the 63 in the afternoon. AN 27-514 and 28-025 as well as LS 28-048 were on the 24 this afternoon. SL 22-333 was on the 166 this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not all checkered bumper buses are Frontenac's. Case in example: 22-261 has it and it was a Stinson bus and for some reason 31-119 has it despite it always being a Legendre bus to my knowledge. Speaking of which, 26-079 was on the 93 this morning but has no Frontenac bumper. Can it be a bus from another garage? Stinson's 37-068 was on the 188 this morning!!! It was on run 26/28 or 36/38 (hard to see accross the street) but it arrived at St. Michel around 8h05 if someone wants to look this run up. LaSalle's 24-304 was on the 41 this morning.

anyfong Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Quite a few Stinson extras on the 24. 37-045 and 37-106 were within 2 minutes apart in the morning, and 37-057 in the evening (all of these were westbound). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part, the checkered bumper does mean they were at least at FR at some point. There's also the FR sticker that they put on, but it's harder to see. Although there are exceptions there too: 24-252 has had a FR sticker for years despite always being a LS bus. 26-079 is probably a MR bus then - they have 26-077 and the mid 26-08X. 188-26 is in fact a Stinson run, it interlines to the 100 afterwards. 6 hours ago, anyfong said: Quite a few Stinson extras on the 24. 37-045 and 37-106 were within 2 minutes apart in the morning, and 37-057 in the evening (all of these were westbound). You're right, there are a lot! There are 9 different Stinson extras throughout the day. All of them interline with the 103 or 162, which makes sense. Also in case anyone is interested, the 24 has 1 Anjou extra, 1 Lasalle extra and 2 Mont Royal extras. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard from a thread that the 2018 hybrids will go to Frontenac and Saint-Laurent, is that correct? If so then it's always exciting to see a hybrid on the 24 as Frontenac currently only has the dreaded scraps. Also I noticed that the Stinson hybrids are more common to be seen on the 80 during late-evening off-peak hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yesterday more AV in PM rush with 20520 and 20526 on the 28, and a 2004 for several hours on the 74/75 interline. Today I lost transmission fluid on my AM route and broke down in front of UdeS with 2-0228. At least I managed to limp it to the metro! Got changed off to a hybrid instead...

Matt Demers Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 @Gerbil It is weird because when Frontenac got these new they had the batch from 26-066 (67?) to 26-081. -- Mont Royal's 26-082 was on the 93 this morning. 29-156 was on the 435. Still not used to the fact Stinson has all these buses now. LaSalle's 25-215 and 24-231 were on the 161. When 24-231 was brand new, St. Denis had this bus. Stinson's 28-130 was on the 215 this evening. LaSalle or Anjou's 28-061 was on the 68 this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the VINs (from the wiki), the batch is 26-067 to 26-086 (but 082-086 have always been at MR IIRC). They've definitely been scattered around though: I've taken 26-070 multiple times at MR in the past year. I've also seen some of the 26-02X at FR in the past few months: as an example, I took 26-028 on the 24 on Tuesday and it had the checkered bumper and FR stickers. I'd thought the 26-02X were at SD. 28-061 is a LS bus. They seem to have 28-006, 008-017, 020-021, 024, 026-054, 056, 061, 064, 066, 067, and 098-107. Yesterday: 37-006 broke down on the 90 during AM rush - my bus rescued the passengers. AN 22-221 was on the 90 during PM rush. 29-076 was on the 144 during PM rush. Today: I saw 22-239 near the Elmhurst loop around 8:15, then parked at McGill metro around 18:30. It may have moved garages during the day because neither the 51 nor 105 have Frontenac extras and the 61 and 168 are both operated solely by Frontenac (no extras).

Matt Demers Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 @Gerbil St. Denis had 26-031 to 26-040 when brand new. But now some of those buses are at Frontenac. Can't remember who originally had the 26-02x buses. -- Mont Royal's 26-082 was on the 93 again. LaSalle's 26-012 was on the 41. LaSalle's 24-290 was on the 92.

Matt Demers Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 22-233 was on the 33 today. Numbers in the front were replaced because they seem spaced out. Frontenac's 22-298 was also on the 33 today. Has small rear numbers. 22-415 was on the 141. I noticed the number of old buses out from Anjou on weekends has definately went down in the last few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerbil Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I took LE 22-201 on the 90 during AM rush. It was on the route all day. 22-246 did the 17:08 westbound 104 departure from Atwater on run 104-43. It was a camera violation since the run is supposed to be out until after 1:30 am. I saw 26-005 on this run during AM rush, so 22-246 must have been a change off. MR 27-029 and LE 22-397 were on the 90 during PM rush (operating out of Lasalle).
