Recommended Posts

Yesterday:

  • 24-243 was on the 174
  • Rocket bus 26-071 was on the 225
  • 24-276 was on the 171
  • LS 28-015 was on the 196

  • 31-196 was on the 196!!!

I also saw one of Novabus' test bus with the full rooftop configuration on Marcel-Laurin 3x this week in the morning. I noticed that the font on the front display was more bold, and the turn signal lights on the mirror were lit even though the signals weren't being used.

A picture circulated yesterday in Spotted:STM on Facebook concerning vandal damage on 31-237 and 39-021 at CT Frontenac. Quite unfortunate that a new bus like a 39 series already needs to be out for repairs. 

Thursday:

• MR's 26-059 was on the 104 in the evening. This bus has shifting patterns similar to 26-020, and formerly 22-301.

• AN's 30-138 was on the 105 in the evening.

Friday:

• FR's rocket 26-025 was on 37 in the morning.

• MR buses 25-235 was on the 113, 25-239 on the 495 and 27-018 on the 110 in the morning near Angrignon around 9:15.

• MR(?) 26-085, SL's 28-100 and 37-059 were on the 105 in the afternoon. 37-059 has been listed as inactive on @West Island Transit Fan's spreadsheet.

• I took MR's 25-201 on the 104 in the evening.

Today:

• 32-027 was on the 90 this afternoon.

• SL's 28-073, LS's 29-064 and 37-059 were on the 105 this evening.

EDIT:  30-090 was on the 14 with its display programmed as "14 Atateken".

Yesterday:

  • I took AN 30-105 on the 144-W at 9:25.
  • I took 29-078 on the 90-W at 24:25. It was running 15 minutes late. Combine that with my just missing the previous bus, and I stood outside in the cold at Atwater for 45 minutes. :(

Today:

  • MR 30-070 was on the 90.
  • I took 29-119 on the 90-W at 17:31. There were no more than 5 other people on it the whole way, mainly because there was another bus right in front.

Interestingly, the 90 will be coming at a 4-5 minute frequency between 17:00 and 17:30 on Saturdays next board period (currently it's 6-8). It seems like overkill, but I'm not going to complain.

I took MR 30-050 on the 90-W at 20:43 yesterday. Almost felt normal, since it's specced the same as LS's 30-XXX,

I took 29-108 on the 90-E this morning (90-22 - 7:36 departure from Elmhurst). This is just a tripper that does one short turn departure (St. Pierre to Atwater). First time it has received a bus since October 11th.

30-244 was doing before-the-last 115 this AM at ~ 9:15 am, at Namur station. The lineup wrapped around the station onto Jean-Talon and then back into the station.

29-033 was on the 144 this PM.

Just saw 24-244 on the 92 run 76.

---

I mentioned a couple of times (maybe too often) that I don't take the 16 anymore, but by curiosity I just checked the adjusted schedule and... 5 departures cancelled westbound and 4 departures cancelled eastbound out of 64 total departures surely does look quite painful...

LE 31-038 has returned to service (it was absent since August 2018 according to @West Island Transit Fan's spreadsheet)! It's currently tracking on the 48 according to Felix's app.

It was tracking as a LE extra on the 48 according to its trip ID. Today I saw it track as a MR extra on the 486. I really wonder why it took so long to be repaired.

It looks like LS may have transferred 24-241 to 250 to SN in exchange for AN's 29-001 to 010.

Sometimes a bus is running in service but is just not tracking, so there is a possibility that it was repaired and put back in service for already a while, but just not tracking. My hypothesis anyways.

Caught 26-030 on the 107, and later spotted 26-085 on the 92. Both from this PM.

@Frozen Yogurt Lasalle in contrast has gotten better, I think because there's a higher proportion of front ramp buses (lost a lot of 24-XXX to SN). I keep track of several runs that I see/ride frequently so I can give a few stats:

  • 71-05 (out 5:38-20:17) 45/49 front ramp
  • 90-06 (out 5:00-17:48) 52/56 front ramp
  • 191-57 (out 5:05-22:35) 49/53 front ramp

Compare to some similar ones from the Spring:

  • 90-09 (out 6:04-19:11) 26/54 front ramp
  • 90-10 (out 5:15-17:55) 24/53 front ramp
  • 90-11 (out 5:30-17:37)  28/54 front ramp

-

Seems like there were some pretty major delays today, but I didn't suffer through them.

  • I got on 29-120 on the 90-E around 8:35, running 28 minutes late.
  • I then transferred to 29-040 on the 144-E at 9:10, running 24 minutes late.

It ended up taking me the regular amount of time, I was just on late buses.

Tuesday:

• According to Felix's tracking app, the 138 was entirely made up of MR buses in the afternoon: 26-059, 30-058 and 30-068.

Yesterday:

• MR's 26-046 was on the 406 in the evening.

• FR's 26-040 and AN's 27-536 were on the 105 in the evening.

Today:

• I caught AN's 28-123 on the 105 this evening.

• 29-007 was on the 138 this evening.

• I got on 27-001 on the 33 this evening. This bus probably has the TopoDyn added like 24-258.

The 71 is supposed to 100% Front Ramp as it was designed to be a temporary measure until the new Vendome/Arthur Porter Hospital link in built.
