gmnewlook Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Disney? Never, they only have 2000 to 2002 Novas. Anyways, I'll see if it gives me an idea... Anyway, in the CIT roster list, 375 and 376 are marked as ex-Disneys, so I kinda figured 374 is one too. So, if ever someone catches those buses, try and get a look at VINs, that'll tell us where these buses came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2044 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 From earlier in the thread: We now have an answer to this question.. they're both ex-Walt Disney units built in 2000 IIRC..Also, CITVR classic 663301 is retired and scrapped at Capital Bus Parts in St-Romuald, Qc. I wonder why Transdev Limocar uses the 9 suffix. Perhaps they indeed are 1999s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm_5307N Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I've just removed 5 mins. ago "Ex-Disney Transport" to "Ex-?" They are ex-Walt Disney. A few of us were at the garage and got pics and ask the guy in charge of the CITVR garage too. He confirmed that they are ex-Disney LFS's. I'd undo that edit you did to the wiki and put back ex-Walt Disney if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellergraham Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 From earlier in the thread:I wonder why Transdev Limocar uses the 9 suffix. Perhaps they indeed are 1999s. The last digit on a Limocar number is always the build date. So in the case of those ex-Disney buses, they are 1999. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2044 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Just started the MRC Les Moulins wiki page. Some questions: Are all the Vs from 2002 and in transit configuration? Were there ever 29109 and 29110? What year are 29220-29226? Does anyone have a list of past buses used? Please correct anything I have missed. Also an issue with naming on the wiki: Do the MRC and Ville de __ systems have any official names like the RTCR (L'Assomption)? Would Transport en commune de la municipalité régionale de comté Les Moulins be appropriate for Les Moulins page? Would that work for the others? Thanks Edit: just finished Sainte-Julie. Veolia lists it as OMIT Sainte-Julie. Is it correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiki should name those systems as "Ville de Sainte-Julie" and "Ville de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu" The MRC Systems (there are only 2) should be listed as such. "MRC Les Moulins" and "MRC L'Assomption". RTCR is just a marketing name.

Veolia lists it as OMIT Sainte-Julie. Is it correct? I think the first 20 Vs are 2002 and the rest are 2004s. I believe 29220 to 29223 are 2008s and 29224 to 29226 are 2009s. For the naming, Transport en commun de la municipalité régionale de comté des Moulins should be OK, not commune. OMIT Sainte-Julie is correct. RTCR's newest arrivals are 29227 to 29229 at least and they are 3rd gen LFSs. Here is a photo of CITVR 374309, rear shot only: A work colleague's wife is a driver at Groupe Orléans, Terrebonne division, I'll ask him if he can get her to pick up a fleet roster.

With the wiki naming conventions not allowing abreviations, should MRC be Municipalité régionale de comté? For example a page would be called "Municipalité régionale de comté Les Moulins". Also what about MRC D'Autray, MRC de Joliette, MRC de Montcalm, and MRC Matawinie? I think the first 20 Vs are 2002 and the rest are 2004s.

Municipalité régionale de comté Les Moulins would be the best if the Wiki doesn't allow abbreviations. MRC D'Autray, MRC de Joliette, MRC de Montcalm, and MRC Matawinie all organize their service under CRT Lanaudiere if I'm not mistaken. As they're quite far outside of Montreal, I don't follow them to closely as I do for other suburban transit authorities. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
