Yesterday:

30-068 was on the 164. Since the start of the Fall board period, many MR 30-0XX have been at Saint-Laurent. Perhaps the mileage of those buses are so low they have to go to Saint-Laurent to rack up mileage (especially since the routes are longer and there are all-day runs).

Ex-SL/AN/SD 28-095 was on the 225 on the Legendre extra!

Some 37-xxx skipped my stop this morning, too full like always. Squeezed on 29-802 which still left people behind... and the driver told me she has a *lighter* load than usual. Yeah, so looks like in normal circumstances I would have seen her driving past my stop without stopping too.

Spotted a Flyer on the 171 this morning. Wow I wasn't expecting to see one back on the road already ?

Came out of CV this evening to see a humongous lineup at the 171 stop, for 31-189. Of course I didn't take it ?.

The New Flyers are a real mess... or waste right now.  They hit the road only in the A.M rush hour and at the most, only 5 of them.

Saw 1662 on Métrobus 804, still wrapped for an open doors event at Collège Saint-Charles-Garnier that happened two weeks ago. (This is the unknown wrapped bus that I posted about last month.)

Dysfunctional, yes, but not completely broken. A completely broken sign would not display anything. Or, it would be off.

According to what I've heard, in theory, a dysfunctional front sign would require a change-off, as the Police 9-1-1 message would not be able to show properly in case of emergency. A broken side sign on the other hand doesn't matter. In any case, I sometimes see buses (artics especially) with broken front signs.

Got 29-802 this evening!

A handful of less important RTC sightings over the last week or so:

- L0601, the oldest bus in the fleet, was on an Express (273?) on October 5th.

- Another Artic was retrofitted with rigid seats: 1267.

- There was an accessibility violation on Métrobus 803, as a L08xx (I almost immediately forgot which one as I was noting it) was doing a rush hour run on the 6th.

- There's still a lot of 40-footers on Métrobus 800, 801 and 804. Those buses have a sheet of paper in the front saying they were loaned to Centre Métrobus by des Rocailles.

- L1001, the first RTC hybrid, saw service again, as I didn't see it on the road for a good while.

- Some 2016 40-footers are getting limited to rush hour service, including L1601, L1602 and L1608.

- 1662 still had its full wrap as of October 6th.

31-208 was on the 18 this afternoon. This is the bus that has the plastic seats found on 38-051 and newer as a test.

Mont Royal's 30-091 was on the 141 this afternoon.

28-015 was on the 57 this evening.

128 was a big circus today - 4 3rd gens, one hybrid; 2 tracking, 3 not tracking. Enjoy Stinson at its best. 31-071 (they finally put a crooked rear number on it), 31-190 tracking; 30-013, 31-099 and the hybrid not tracking.

40-911 was on the 171 this afternoon. So they're now finally back to PM service.

Got 37-006 on the 171 this afternoon, suffocatingly hot and humid, and smells terrible. The heater was full blown but I'm under the impression the ventilation system doesn't work. Later, we had to rescue passengers of 37-075, which broke down.
