MontrealBusFan Posted October 1, 2022 Report Posted October 1, 2022 Saw 28-704 on the 109, 28-064 on the 106, 28-063 on the 71, and 28-046 on the 191 Also saw a pepsi can riding 10-51X on the green line 2
Blue Hybrid Bus Posted October 1, 2022 Report Posted October 1, 2022 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!
Matt Demers Posted October 3, 2022 Report Posted October 3, 2022 Yesterday, St. Laurent's 28-114 and 28-130 were parked outside Frontenac. Today, 28-050 was on the 193, 28-057 on the 110 and 28-047 on the 113. All seen this evening.
Frozen Yogurt Posted October 3, 2022 Report Posted October 3, 2022 Caught 31-168 on the 171 again yesterday, and 31-098 on the 121..........
Frozen Yogurt Posted October 5, 2022 Report Posted October 5, 2022 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.
LilianaUwU Posted October 5, 2022 Report Posted October 5, 2022 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.)
MontrealBusFan Posted October 5, 2022 Report Posted October 5, 2022 I just saw 33-813 on the 165, and it's side destination sign was completely broken, it was in the test pattern with the other signs being normal
SMS Posted October 6, 2022 Report Posted October 6, 2022 Dysfunctional, yes, but not completely broken. A completely broken sign would not display anything. Or, it would be off.
Blue Hybrid Bus Posted October 7, 2022 Report Posted October 7, 2022 MR 30-003 was on the 70 this evening. It's been at SL for over a month now!
Frozen Yogurt Posted October 7, 2022 Report Posted October 7, 2022 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!
LilianaUwU Posted October 8, 2022 Report Posted October 8, 2022 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.

Matt Demers Posted October 10, 2022 Report Posted October 10, 2022 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.

Frozen Yogurt Posted October 12, 2022 Report Posted October 12, 2022 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.
Frozen Yogurt Posted October 13, 2022 Report Posted October 13, 2022 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.
