Matt Demers Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Exo Sud Ouest 3569²³7 was out on the 33 this afternoon. Seems to run a bit rough. Exo Laurentides 2-611 was on the 103 this evening. I believe this is the oldest bus in service from Transcobec! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTL66 Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Lots of smartassness in Laurentides today 689 on the 89 690 on the 90 693 on the 93 909 on the 9 Seguin sighting, smallest number I saw was 503, the largest being 515. My assumption is the LFS are 501 to 515. To be confirmed. Some units were not tracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor correction: the press release from VMC states 38 in total: 11 for Transcobec, 18 for Paquette and 9 for Seguin. === Briefly passed by Mansfield this morning and spotted Dufresne "3041" on layover. I couldn't determine which bus it is, since it has absolutely zero markings. Transdev 891(22)9 arrived on one of the REM shuttles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Demers Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Exo Presqu'ile 375 was on the 40 Express this afternoon. Also, their 1246 was getting off the 15 at the St. Martin exit this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdgta2008 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 I've notice over the last little while that Transbus/Exo Presqu'ile have been parking the Vicinity buses off-peak during the week and running G5s in its place. I assume there's once again a bus shortage....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw ex-Guelph 1245 arriving on the 40 yesterday morning at Côte-Vertu, while there was also a minibus on the same route on the tracker. I thought they might have a coach shortage, but today 318 is tracking on the 7 instead. Weird. The 91 had 384 for the past while, but got one of the 2019 LFS today.

sdgta2008 Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Presqu’île - 385 is on route A40 right now. That’s different… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTL66 Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 From what I was told, the bus doing the route is always dependent on the training the driver received. To operate a minibus, only a Class 4 permit is needed, so if when the driver was hired and they only have a Class4, the only bus they are permitted to drive is a minibus. Internal training also factors, if the driver has not been trained on an LFS, a coach or vicinity, they can only drive the bus they are trained on. A coach, LFS or Vicinity requires a Class 2F permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Demers Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Exo SV (Transbus) 1244 made a rare weekend appearance by running on the 370 all day today. I like the look of the double brake lights and the seats are quite comfortable. Good bus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTL66 Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Transcobec 611, 927, 928, 929 and 930 are on loan to Autobus Yves Seguin. They also have 6 leased by exo Vicinitys as a temporary measure while waiting for their production units. 560 to 565 are the temporary numbers. Chrono was installed on board in order to collect at least some fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Demers Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Yesterday, I caught Transdev 354³⁰5 on the 15h45 departure of the 200 on exo VR from Longueuil Metro. This bus still has the CITVR paint scheme, has the rear door boarded up and has LED headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Yogurt Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 Since contractor is in the title... spotted Skyport 117 on the airport parking shuttle today, wrapped up for the airport. Presumably 29264-29265 were swapped with 112-113 and 117, my guess is to satisfy age requirements of Concordia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
