webfil Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 What is the SEPTA artic doing around Montreal? 7300 seems to be a HEV pilot-project for SEPTA. Could it be that the bus was leased from Nova? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm_5307N Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 What is the SEPTA artic doing around Montreal? The fact that it's made by Novabus which is a Quebec product should be a big hint.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimon8000 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 The fact that it's made by Novabus which is a Quebec product should be a big hint.. exactly, no big surprise at all, just like seeing a TTC Novabus LFS around Montreal area.......................test drive is all it is about, i would be surprised if i DON'T see one instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a bus that was supposed to be retired in November of last year, it is still going strong. I wonder why they decided to keep the RTS, they were remours they were to get artics in 2015 for Route 200, I guess that is no longer happening., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I think they only have the one as spare/emergency bus... similar how Cornwall Transit 8558 is kept kicking around in their fleet. I haven't been to the yard to confirm, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seashore_518203 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I notice that Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu has taken delivery ot at least 3 Prevost X3-45 buses recently with the bi-fold front doors. I saw 8028256, 8054256 and 8055256 today. Does anybody know how many they received from this order? I also noticed that CRT Lanadiere has some X3-45 buses as well. How many did they receive? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Kevin I can ask our contact at SJSR for more info. It appears the summer board is over and dormant buses are back on the road. CITSV's lone school bus converted for transit use, 1240, is back on the road after enjoying the summer off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the new prevosts with bi fold doors, i have the following on my list SJSR: 8031, 8048, 8055, 8058 CITSO: 8042, 8049, 8051, 8052 BLUS: 8045, 8046, 8047, 8050 CITR: 8053 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
