stm_5307N Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Of note, CITSO Transcar Classic 858 is now at CIT Laurentides numbered 698214. 698334 fleet number didn't last more than a few weeks it would seem. So CITSO is now down to one classic left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huz66511 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I remember riding 9014B0 on the 200 and seeing it many times on that route . Therefore, we can say it was with CITVREDIT: OMG, I just found a picture of 9014 on the 200 and it seems to have an old Metropolitain Sud rollsign or one from the STRSM 7-5XX series (not sure which one) http://mnebuspage.fotopic.net/p54231729.html Double OMG, I also found a picture of 9018 with the most recent RTL rollsign. http://mnebuspage.fotopic.net/p57346245.html Also, according to this picture, 9013 was probably running with CITVR http://mnebuspage.fotopic.net/p57346244.html I never saw those buses on CITVR routes. They were probably running with CITBL. Starting at 2:40 on this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5NgOMZ8evY...feature=related, you can see 9030B2. The photo of 9013B0 was taken at the "Busfan Corner" a.k.a. St Jacques & Mansfield on June 25, 1996. It was going to Otterburn Park (card sign below driver). 9014B0 was taken at Metro Longueuil on June 26, 1996. 9018B1 was taken at the Boisbrand Garage on June 18.1999. These buses were T8H5307A's ex Queens-Steinway Transit (NY). Ex STRSM 8-2xx buses 9027B2, 9029B2, 9030B2 were all parked at the Bosibrand Garage on June 18, 1999. I'll have to go down to the basement at some point and find my notes. If memory serves, the number current scheme for the transit buses started in 1999 with the delivery of RTS buses 600309-up. The other buses were renumbered in 2000. Hope this helps! Cheers! Boston Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huz66511 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Oh man, this is great. According to your information can we supposed this?673217 - Ex Auger 651 674217 - Ex Auger 650 675217 - Ex Limocar CITVR 9796 676217 - Ex Limocar CITVR 9797 677217 - Ex Limocar CITVR 9798 678217 - Ex Limocar CITVR 9799 I have photos of Limocar 9773 and 9774. Could these be the ex Auger units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andru Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I have photos of Limocar 9773 and 9774. Could these be the ex Auger units? Were the Auger buses acquired by Limocar before the year 2000 renumbering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristan Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I have photos of Limocar 9773 and 9774. Could these be the ex Auger units? I completely forgot about those. I don't know what to think anymore, I always tough Limocar received these buses as new. I guess the only way to find out would be with the serial numbers. I would like to see the pictures.

Mystic Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 So CITSO is now down to one classic left! It's been a week tomorrow that I haven't seen 847 in service. I also must add that the Prevost XL that is replacing its departures has a different driver. So I would like to assume if I may that the driver in question is on vacation for a week or so, and will return back to his bus #847 when he returns. Or the driver retired and they retired the bus with him. Or the driver changed his route and took 847 with him, and runs at times I keep missing. On another topic, I saw CIT Roussillon Bus #687223 for the first time today. Quite an interesting looking bus I must say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Big time thanks Bob! On another note, and kellergraham will back me up - that nasty Champion was at TCV tonight after PM rush. And tristan has seen this bus at Terminus Longueuil as well. So much for the theory that the bus would stay local in Roussillon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baab Great pictures, I remember riding 9773 and/or 9774 back in 1998 or 1999. The interior was very similar to 9796 to 9799, the only difference I remember is the patterns and colors on the fabrics of the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. David Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hooray! And according to a recent sighting, so is RTCR 29005 ! -- Here are some random CIT sightings for today. CITSV 700: 2583, 2578 (Both Dupont Cartiers) ?: 9944 ('99 Nova RTS. Might have been on 700 or 705, but the roll sign was inert, and I didn't see a pancarte) HS: 2471, 2582 (Both Dupont Cartiers) CITVR 200: 374309 ('99 Nova LFS, ex-Walt DIsney World), 666301 ('91 MCI Classic) HS: 658301 ('91 MCI Classic) Nice to see that CITVR still has a few suburban '91 Classics in service . St. Julie 500: 49402 (Transcar Classic) 250: 32502 (Nova RTS) CITCRC 20: 29701 (Nova RTS; roll sign was set to Montreal) CIT Rousillion 210: 687223 (Weird-looking Champion bus. How do they display the route number & destination on this thing? The front looks like that of an RV.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If most agree, we should then rename this thread the "CIT Sightings Thread" What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
