exo/contractor bus sightings (was: CIT Sightings)


Recommended Posts

I wonder how many of these CITs are actually seriously evaluating the possibility to purchase double deckers...

None. Its all PR junk.... a gimmick they use to make the average customer think that the CIT is looking at new ways to improve to become more modern or offer better quality buses.

so no chance for them to get double deckers? I thought they are so interested in them that they are going to get some, and the fact that it can go into TCV which surprise me the most!

What!? It can't go into TCV. It's outside loading only on either Saint-Antoine or Mansfield st.

WHAT? I was being told by the people at CIT Roussillon that they can fit in TCV after they adjust the door at the entrance/exit........so it can go in TCV or not?

Off loading outside of TCV, how about picking up passengers at TCV during the PM rush? still picking up outside TCV??!?!

I heard the same thing from Veolia when the bus was at Saint Jean Sur Richelieu.

If TCV can handle a regular bus with a little bit of clearance, how could it handle a double decker?

Look at a picture of a bus entering TCV and it's pretty clear one couldn't fit regardless of what someone "hears".

Do some investigative research.

They claim the door was modified, didnt say I believed it.

very nice video to show, so yes it could go in and out TCV as mentioned by the staff at CIT Roussillon, it only couldn't pass through the AMT rail bridge on Rue Saint Antonio which has a clearance of 4.05m

From what I read (and had Calvin roughly translate), it's apparently a leased unit. They are also asking for customer feedback in order to purchase more of them.

Thx@@ I am just wondering if that is the same blue demo as before but just having it repainted this time......

Apparently, having looked at it closely, it doesn't appear to be the same unit. The URBIS unit looks to not have the full glass in the rear door. Maybe my eyes are deceiving me.

no it's just a reflection in the photo, It is having full glass in the rear door as well~~
