exo/contractor bus sightings (was: CIT Sightings)


Recommended Posts

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.

Any Sight of 35 Vinicity Midibus for Paquette, Transcobec and Séguin?

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.

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....?

Talking about Transbus... 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.

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.

509019 is at Beloil 

Finally they will have a ford mini bus 

since they had gmc/Chevy mini busses for quite a while 

 

380 is going to Chateaugay 

810514, 809(33)8, 811(22)8, 8068, 8069, 8070, 8071 and 823 I see these going to DMO in the future since they pretty much have all MCI and other devisions have Prevost  other than Chateaugay 

FYI

810514 and 6014(21)5 was in the repairs in Boucherville

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.

I took a ride on exo Sud Ouest 3569²³7 today on the last outbound 28 of the day. Nice seats, has overhead racks with reading lights

 

 

 

804216 was on the 31, got on it. Rare to see coaches on this route. Bus lurches hard after leaving stops though ?

Y’a the transmission is a bit messed up on that one. It really jerks really hard after letting go of the brake pedal
