Today's Sightings


Recommended Posts

So when 37-001 and 37-002 are back in service and if someone gets a ride on them, check if they got the new readers. Buses that have a reader already are 30-866, 30-867, 31-838 and 33-802.

24-279 was on the 141 tonight. It was the last non-camera 2nd gen running tonight.

I saw many artics at this location here near the corner of Halpern/Henri-Bourassa yesterday when riding the 225. Here are the artics that I can confirm were there when I visited today (There was more artics there than the ones listed):

29-840, 29-857, 30-843, 30-879, 31-805, 31-826, 31-855, 31-860, 32-802, 33-807, 33-832

Does anybody know why they're there? I'm thinking it might be to get the new card readers installed since only artics were there.

Based on my notes, 31-826 has the card readers and was one of the buses parked at that location.

Also based on my notes, these buses have the new readers:

25-205, 28-703, 29-811, 29-844, 29-847, 30-152, 30-818, 31-801, 31-826, 31-827, 31-847, 33-810, 33-813, 33-817, 33-822, 33-824, 33-825, 33-838, 33-845, 38-061

 The 7:25 and 7:30 419-W departures from Fairview were cancelled today. WTF! I thought we were done with the bus shortage! I had to rush like crazy to catch 38-033 on the 7:20 departure (7:32 from Meaney). Nothing was cancelled yesterday.

A lot of random buses are moving around this week. LaSalle got a lot of random FR 26 and 27s, Stinson got a lot of LE 31s, Stinson and Legendre's 24s are all over the place, MR even got 31-213, etc.

SN 31-218 and 32-006 were on the 215 this morning.

SN 31-027 was on the 225 E.

24-305 was on the 213.

I saw LS 26-002 at CT Saint-Laurent today.

I also rode on 28-126 for the very first time on the 209, @West Island Transit Fan's favorite bus! The bell sound didn't sound bad imo. It just sounded more like a clown car honk. I'm going to give this bus a nickname: the clown bus!

So that's why 31-222 was on the 92 yesterday... Stinson is becoming less interesting.

Stinson got super boring when they got the hybrids. 2018 was horrible since they had virtually no 2nd gens. Legendre, Mont-Royal, and Stinson are the least interesting garages imo. Let's see what happens to St. Laurent when all the 22s and 23s retire.

Wouldn't say it's my favorite bus lol but it's definitely fun to see some people's reactions whenever I ride it!

I took 28-099 on the 419 on Wednesday. It wasn't tracking but the ibus screen and stop announcements worked. Today I took 38-063 and it was the opposite; tracking but ibus screen off and no stop announcements.

My sister took the 90-W from Vendôme at 15:03 and got SN 24-226. It was a SL extra.

28-703 is on the 425.

LE 24-272 was on the 55 and their 31-042 was on the 185.

LS 29-104 and 30-022 were on the 18.

I took FR 26-029 on the 211. This and 26-027 are probably my favorite buses since many of the seat bottoms on both buses are upholstered with the blue material from 24-307 and lower, so it makes for an extra comfortable ride. 26-029's rear door also opens and closes very quickly.

24-235 was on the 144-E at Dr. Penfield/Drummond around 17:50, running out of MR. I'd have attempted to take this, but the 144 is a disaster these days due to construction around Peel.

While I was riding 29-116 on the 90-W today, the driver triggered an announcement from the iBus system saying "s'il vous plait dirigez vers l'arrière", which is great since the drivers won't have to yell it anymore to get people's attention.
