Spotted Mad Mark taking pics of 14-176 on Sherbrooke corner Elmhurst at 8:45am about and then running to get 12-062 on the 51, but he missed it by a few seconds going WB into Elmhurst loop..

Or did I ;)?

Make no bones about it - Mad Mark always gets his bus. Ehlalalala :P!

Just for fun, here's one of the pics of 14-176 that I took:

You should have came over and said hello, Steve, unless you were driving, of course. I'm a nice guy; you know that ;).

For the record, I had some spare time before my morning class, so I decided to do a little impromptu busfanning. Needless to say,

it went well :P.

Today's Sightings

11 / 25 / 09

162: 28-040, 28-021, 28-123 (Still has the Hell Bell; driver made everyone get out at Cavendish Mall and then promptly deadheaded away), 22-286, 29-105, 29-084 (From 420, 165; see below for more details)

161: 14-117, 29-020 with >>

420: 29-091, 29-084 (To 165, 162; see below for more details)

51: LE 22-380 (Extra violation?), SD 14-176, AN 12-062 :P (Extra violation), 15 034

105: 14-063, 27-525, 29-098 (To 102), 14-068, 27-030 - 29-098 interlined into a WB 102 as soon as we arrived at Metro Vendome.

138: 29-096 (To 105; looks like I discovered another interline)

104: 29-112

103: 15-091, 29-103 (Smartassness ahoy :P!)

Charffeur Eleve: 29-107 (@ Metro Vendome)

HS: 14-091 (@ Metro Vendome)

Star Sightings: 12-062 & 2 hybrids. See appropriate threads for details.

Okay, now here's the extra bit about 29-084. I saw it doing the EB 420 on Sherbrooke at around noon. After my class, I got it as my WB 162 home at 20:11. Here's the strange part. I found a scam card on board that was printed with today's date. It said that 29-084 has been doing the 165 at 15:58. 420-to-165-to-162 is one very random series of interlines. 420-to-162 is valid, as I've seen a driver's carjour that listed it, but 420-to-165-to-162 is just plain bizarre, not to mention random. And for posterity, 29-084's run number was 84, thus resulting in run number smartassness ;).

Well, it's good to see you found that 29 you were looking for. Did they put the chevrons on it yet? Or maybe since it was out of St-Denis territory they didn't have a chance yet.

Mystic, I've actually seen 29-003 on the 161 in recent weeks, and it actually does have the chevrons. In fact, 29s 001 - 021 now have them in place, with the rest to be done soon.

Steve or Mark, did you post by any chance that 29-019 also has the chevron arrows? (search function using fleet numbers on this forum is terrible)

If no, I'd like to confirm that it does have it. Saw it on the 535 this morning at Howie-Morenz terminus.

Matt, I've seen it previously on the 161, I believe, and it has the chevrons. In fact, 29s 001 - 022 are all chevroned now. Speaking of, 29-022 was doing the 161 this morning

I rode 15-003 at 11:05 AM on the 69 school special, and on the roof (inside) at the rear door, there's 2 boxes. I dunno for what it's being used, but anyways, I saw ex-STM 15-065 on Maurice-Duplessis at 3:15 PM.

Could be a people-counter. Some CITSO coaches are getting that little box installed above the doors as well.

Did you notice if under the row of seats behind the driver there is a silver box, usually that contains all the information regarding passenger count and driver performance. Often used for driver training and evaluation. (The LFSes have it built-in).

I didn't look over there, sorry... I only notice theses boxes (above the rear door).

As for that coach on the Concordia Shuttle today, Alex, you friend was indeed correct. It was Skyport 9167, and I got to ride it. It sure was a nice upgrade from the usual transit-style buses :). Here is a picture of it at the Sir George Williams campus:

9167__A1_.jpg

Welcome to the CIT Concordia Shuttle, lol :D.

I believe this coach is a Prevost of some sort, but I'm not 100% sure. Also, I don't get Skyport's numbering system. This coach's number is 9167, but there's no way in hell that it's a '91, given how it looks.

29-003 has the chevrons, but its got something on the left side. On top of the chevrons it say what i believe AN, there is an A for surr, but the other one that looks like an ''n'' is small.

BTW the driver that was being trained, i know is an anjou driver. he usally does the 189WB @ 17:57.

29-003 is still parked at the back of Anjou
