I just got off 37-002 on route 80 (lucky me I got a hybrid). It has the new card reader installed.

37-002 was one of the buses parked in the lot on Halpern, so this adds more evidence that the new card readers are installed there.

I saw 37-031 on the 411E at the Dorval Circle around 15:18 (Possibly for St-Louis for Ste-Anne students?)

St-Louis and Ste-Anne both do 211E's and 411E's around that time. In the spring board period, one of the 411E's was operated out of Stinson and one of the 211E's was operated out of St-Laurent (and got old buses a lot), so looks like that may still be the case this board period.

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.

This will be very useful for 419 drivers!

When I woke up this morning, the 7:30 and 7:34 419s from Fairview were listed as cancelled, so I took the 7:25 departure (31-188). While I was waiting, these two departures were listed as not cancelled anymore on the STM site. But, no bus was tracking on them so I decided to not risk it and get on 31-188. It's strange that last Tuesday there were also cancelled runs, but every other day nothing's cancelled. 

31-189 was the 419 before me.

Wednesday:

• MR's 26-069 was on the 138 in the evening.

• 24-222 was on the 105 throughout the evening. It is very loud from the outside. 

Yesterday:

• MR's 25-246 (LS extra), FR buses 26-068 (LS extra) and 31-079, SL's 28-121 and AN's 30-107 (FR extra 61-52) were all on the 105 around 8:20 this morning. 30-107's left side fleet number is placed on top of the second window just like on a hybrid.

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.

Add 26-052 to that list. I took it on the 90-E yesterday morning and had the pleasure of sitting on a cushioned vinyl seat.

I took 24-241 on the 90-W around 16:50 (we left 7 minutes late). The driver missed his turn into the Vendome loop, so we didn't pick anyone up there. That was unfortunate since the departure after was cancelled.

So the Vendome loop is open again and back to normal now?

24-238 was on the 141, got on it. Front interior fleet numbers are the usual font but in black as "24238".

24-296 and 24-303 were on the 55. 24-296 has no left side STM logo and has small rear numbers. 24-303 has graffiti on the rear end still.

St. Laurent's 28-121 was also on the 55.

24-305 was on the 16 and 24-307 was on the 161. Numerous Stinson 24s are out today!

24-201 was on the 106. Can't tell if this bus moved to Legendre on loan to LaSalle again or LaSalle got it back.

Mont Royal's 25-224 was on the 37 while their 26-042 was on the 78.

Frontenac's 26-022 was on the 110.

iBus (via Felix's app): 24-220 on the 128, 24-227 on the 55, 24-231 on the 112, Legendre's 24-266 on the 496, 24-302 on the 129, Stinson's 24-306 on the 35, 25-238 on the 97

Yes, since last Monday.

Spotted 39-011 on the 211 as a renfort with trip ID 904121.

MR 26-086 was also on the 211.

One of those was doing a renfort on the 90 this morning as well. 39-002 IIRC.

This morning:

  • 37-049 was doing the SN extra on the 215. It has the FR stickers, and graffiti on the rear.

This evening (interesting sightings at Côte-Vertu):

  • Rocket buses 25-231 and 25-241 are on the 174 and 171 respectively.
  • 24-227 is on the 213.
  • I saw LE 24-260 as En Transit, and 24-271 had passengers inside though I couldn't read its destination sign.
  • LE 31-034 is on the 171 running out of LE.
