Personal observation: SL 30-255 hasn’t been active in over a month.

I haven't seen, in person or on a tracker, SL 28-113, 28-121, 30-231, and 38-057 since 2018. In fact, 38-057 has been MIA since July!

Yesterday, I took 28-125 on the 419 leaving Fairview at 9:50. Its front door is very squeaky.

Every time I take this departure, the iBus screen prematurely says "Terminus, n'oubliez pas vos effets personnels. Merci d'avoir voyagé avec la STM" while we are still crossing over the Poultry Cottages bridge over A-20. Then, it starts counting the WB stops all over again (Brunswick / Terminus Fairview, Brunswick / St-Jean, Transcanadienne / Berne, etc...). Sometimes the announcer says it, sometimes it just reads it on the iBus screen.

Today, I took 30-239 on the 419. The driver made this one of the best rides I've ever had on a 3rd gen. He drove so smoothly that the bus never did that sudden jerk when changing gears.

iBus (via Felix's app): AN 27-009 was on the 196 (SL run) yesterday and SN 30-007 was on the 68 today.

Based on the 38-XXX delivery watch thread, 38-057 first entered service in July! I wonder what happened to it.

Recently reactivated 24-234 was on the 104-E at Vendome around 7:40.

AN 27-003, 27-009 and 29-007 were tracking on the 90 today. 27-003 vanished after one round trip and the other 3 departures for that run were cancelled.

30-001 was ET on Graham, it does not have chevrons on the windows (thankfully) and the bottom part is worn out, so it looks plain beaten up. I think that the luggage racks on these retrofitted buses should be taken off, as the winter is over. Not only they do not have A/C but they honestly give tourists a bad image of Montreal.

Agreed. I highly doubt the 747 ever needs 61 buses (29-149 to 156, 30-001 to 020, 31-001 to 008, 31-211 to 220, 39-001 to 015) at a time. It must be annoying to get a 747 bus on a regular route (less seats, less standing room).

Parked outside CT SL tonight:

  • LS 28-012, 29-033, 29-085, 31-084.
  • MR 25-240, 30-049, 30-077.
  • AN 26-080 (inactive since December), 30-120, 30-220.
  • LE 24-274.
  • SN 29-149 (what is this doing here?!).
