Seashore_518203 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 It looks like Veolia Transdev has ordered 3 Yaxing buses and is also buying the demonstrater that has been tested. In the news release, I wonder where the 8 other Yaxing buses are destined to for Quebec. http://www.grandewest.com/release/grande-west-announces-vicinity-bus-orders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2044 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 The RTC announced late last year that they intend to replace their Technobuses with "midibuses". Perhaps they have placed an order for the Vicinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclair14 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 The RTC announced late last year that they intend to replace their Technobuses with "midibuses". Perhaps they have placed an order for the Vicinity. The technobuses are going nowhere until maybe next year, recent talks seems they will retire the technobus in 2016. And for the bus that will replace them, nothing is yet fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they mean other transit system in Nova Scotia like Transit Cape Breton and Kings Transit etc....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they mean other transit system in Nova Scotia like Transit Cape Breton and Kings Transit etc....? Off topic, but the order is for Kings Transit as listed on page 12 of the document linked below: http://www.leedefinancial.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Grande-West-Transportation-Group.pdf Now back on topic, while 8 have been ordered for Ville-de-Saint-Julie, I would assume that the other 3 as well as the purchased demo would be going to CIT Laurentides. Has there been any confirmation of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there been any confirmation of this? On another discussion board there's a rumour of CITL getting a new model bus but it's unknown at this time what that model is. So it could very well be the Yaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmnewlook Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 From what I read in the local paper in Sainte-Julie, the new buses (8 Vicinity, 7 X3-45 and the new LFS they're supposed to get) are set to go in service March 1st. Is that still on? I know they're keeping the two most recent X3-45s and the 3 LFS they already have for a total fleet of 21 buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmnewlook Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I know the X3-45s have arrived. Don't know about the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmnewlook Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Someone on Facebook posted photos in the FHTCQ group of the newest LFS to arrive at the Transdev Boucherville facility for Ville de Sainte-Julie. I am not a member of that organization, but I was added anyways. I rarely post there and I like snooping around that group and see what they're up to.

RobAG300 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Is new Prevost and LFS on the Ville de Sainte-Julie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristan Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Is new Prevost and LFS on the Ville de Sainte-Julie. Is this the end of the Sainte-Julie Orion Vs? I better get pictures before they all leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAverageJoe Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Is this the end of the Sainte-Julie Orion Vs? I better get pictures before they all leave. Once the Yaxing buses arrive. If the V's are Transdev owned then they could get transfered to another operation otherwise if they are Sainte-Julie owned then yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmnewlook Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 The Yaxings are due mid-July. They were supposed to get them mid-February. Went to the Transdev garage yesterday and asked the foreman about those midi buses. So the Orion Vs are getting a reprieve till the summer.

stm_5307N Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Is this the end of the Sainte-Julie Orion Vs? I better get pictures before they all leave. Ste-Julie Orion V's still running strong. I'm guessing they will last as long as the Yaxing's haven't arrived and are put into service. All the other buses running now are the new Prevost's and that new suburban LFS they just got. That's what I keep seeing these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimon8000 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 http://www.newflyer....s-app/story.162 Thx for the link, very interesting to see there are 2 orders for NFI midi in Quebec while none in Ontario, according to the link, --1 for Autobus Paquette--assuming for CIT Laurentides operation --8 for Keolis Canada--assuming for MRC Les Moulins and RTCR operation can't wait to see them in service!!!

gmnewlook Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Same here. And the three XD40s for Transbus will probably go to CITSV. That's my gut feeling. And probably the 5 XD40s for Keolis will go to Repentigny, or a 3-2 split between Repentigny and Urbis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdgta2008 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I was recently in the Vaudreuil area and I've noticed an increase in riders on CITPI buses, especially the A-40 Express. Since the area seems to be exploding in population, any indication that CITPI will expand to run Route 15 and the A-40 on the weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
