Matt Demers Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 This is the final batch of 28 to be at LA garage. I don;t think there's more than 130 28 series buses. As mentioned by SMS, the 29's are coming in 3 weeks!! St. Laurent got up to until 28-107. 28-108 + 28 = 28-138. Hmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boo2277 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 STM 28-105 on the 170. Got on at cote-vertu at around 12:20 pm. What the hell is up with the "Arret Demande" bell?! it's terrible! It's really annoying. Was a simple " ding " not enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm_5307N Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 28-055 on the 69 right now! I think we should mention only sighting's of 28-084 and over.. This thread will be finished as soon as the 29's arrive in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. David Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 New 28 Watch 12 / 20 / 08 -28-121 on the 162 all day. IMO, that bus belongs in St. Laurent for obvious reasons (read: smartassness capability ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 28-091 on 64 and 28-102 on 215 tonight. Was on the latter and did not care for the bell this time round. Already scratchiti at the back. Also had the great MTQ ad saying we're aboard a cheap new subsidized bus. Whoopee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already scratchiti at the back. Also had the great MTQ ad saying we're aboard a cheap new subsidized bus. Whoopee Disgusting, and good one on the MTQ sign. Rode two Hell Bell buses with some friends yesterday, 28-123 and IIRC 28-127, both on the 90. Everyone I've talked to is hating this new bell, 100% of my friends from Vanier all want it to go away, and cannot stand it. They better not get this crap thing for the 29's. I had a dream the other night, that we got new buses with OC style electronic bells, I was overjoyed and relived, then I woke up, and realized we didn't get such buses!

stm_5307N Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I rode 28-126 on the 102 today! I got my first taste of hearing that new bell sound and it blows... two thumbs down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Forgot to add that when I passed by Saint-Laurent yesterday the Guenette side was pretty much bereft of buses... only 3 Classics outside likely dead... so no more 28s on delivery it seems and everything is either being repaired or moved somewhere else. The dead buses must be at Youville by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newest bus reported so far is 28-127. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a few in the 28-13X numbering. The newest bus reported so far is 28-127. My prediction is that they will stop at 28-132. Here's how I figured it out. For a spell, our newest 28 was 28-027 (this was during the summer). I then read a report around that time that said we would be getting 105 additional buses by the year's end. Therefore... 27 + 105 = 132 Hopefully this is somewhere near right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Demers Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Maybe those last few until 132 are getting prepped now and going out when the snowstorm is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
