rgilmtl Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Unlikely, as 8122 is showing as running on the 1 today. Don't portray speculation as fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgilmtl Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Wait, is it, or is it not the end for Dufresne? I only saw Transco (the school bus company?) mentioned elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For transit, it's another story, the Quebec City MRC contracts Intercar had seems to have remain with Intercar (new CTRP buses are 2325-26, intercar numbering scheme) so wonder if transit will be transferred or they will just run out the contracts until they expire, if you look at the press release of the sale, the main emphasis is on the school operations, the only mention of transit is at the first line of the press release https://firststudentinc.com/resources/newsroom/first-student-acquires-dufresne-group/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the business registry, Autobus Transco is now the sole share holder of autobus Dufresne (see PDF), so @Busrailfan73 theory is probably right, they will keep the name for operations (for now).
