4 out of 5 buses on the 128 today were 31 series: 31-055, 059, 061 and 190. 059 and 190 weren't tracking. It's never been that bad yet at SN...

From the afternoon. 

Spotted 27-002 doing an added 171 trip. 30-013, 30-145, 31-195 and 32-029 are also on the it. 31-195 has half of the ad rack ripped off on the side.

29-002 was on the 121I.

28-103 and 114 arrived at Côte-Vertu on the 196, both filled to the doors.

STL: 109 was on the 151, 801 was on the 144, and 1228 was on the 744.

====

For exo: 891229 was on the Deux-Montagnes shuttle, it is all white except a small round black exo logo on the side. The back of the coach has the remnants of CIT Roussillon logo.

Also, Transdev seems to be using whatever they can find to run the shuttle: a while ago I saw this coach numbered 8103 laying over, and I couldn't find any info on the wiki, since according to this page (https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php/Transdev_Québec_8103) 8103 is an MCI D4505... and the coach I saw doesn't look like the model as shown on the D4505 wiki page. Does anyone have any info on this vehicle?

810309 is in fact a D4505 that was purchased used when Transdev took over the operations of CIT Le Richelain. It was previously used as commuter line bus for the State of Michigan with Indian Trails. Transdev purchased it in 2018.

The information on the 8103 wiki page is correct and taken from the Street Side Guide, I personally collected the data from Transdev and with the VIN database of someone with the CTHF we were able to trace the origin of bus.

As for the REM Shuttles, Transdev took spare buses from all their divisions, because of COVID they do not operate at full capacity, so they transferred some buses to the shuttle. With Transdev losing the contract for Roussillon and Chambly-Richelieu-Carignan soon, you can expect those buses be either transferred to the shuttle and the St-Jean and Sherbrooke buses with their liveries be shipped back to where they belong and replace with white washed buses from these contracts.

27-518 is a LS bus. It's just on loan at MR at the moment.

Stalker bus for me seems to be 37-002. For some reason, every time I come out of Vendôme to take the 105-O, this bus appears more than the others. I generally try to avoid it lol.

—————

Sunday:

• I caught 37-058 on the 105. It doesn’t have a functional iBus.

• SD’s 31-020 was on the 105 early in the evening.

Yesterday:

• AN’s 30-131 was on the 105 in the evening.

The rear end of 8103 looked very different from the rear end of the bus shown on the D4505 page... it took me a while to figure out that's the updated end (tbh it looked more retro than the older design)... anyway, thank you for the informations!

St-Denis' 31-030 was parked En Transit at Lionel Groulx around 17:10.

26-003 and 30-149 were on the 129 this morning.

Mont-Royal's 26-059 was on the 425 again. 

I took 28-130 on the 217-E at 13:35. It has the new card reader activated. Also, the driver missed the turn from St-Charles to Hymus. So we did left Ste-Marie and left Hymus to get back on track. 

28-090 and 091 were on the 201.

28-092 was on the 419.

28-093 was on the 218. 

Unclear if these 28-09X are being transferred or are just being loaned since SL and LE exchanged a bunch of buses lately.

29-802 was on the 121 in the afternoon. I have yet to take those 4 early artics, so I should try to take one sometime. That's (sadly) pretty much the most interesting thing you can find on the 121/171 these days other than that LE extra on the 171, which had 28-036 again.
