M. David Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I've been noticing lately that buses operated by RTCR have been adorned with Orleans Urbain stickers. I don't recall having seen this before. Is this a recent development? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellergraham Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Did Ville de Saint Julie 18711 and 56101 exist? Since they were on the wiki and not on the list of this page I presumed they are retired/transfered. Also, Alex, do you have a list vehicles transfered between agencies this update like the CITCRC Vs being sent to Saint-Julie?I've updated most of the wiki pages with your latest information too. Thanks for your help. 18711 has been renumbered to 18701 Prevost LeMirage XLII Last Seen: 08-Jul-09 56101 has been renumbered to 56104 MCI 102DL3 Last Seen: 02-Feb-10 Veolia seems to change the last two digits of their buses as they please. We haven't been able to get a firm answer as to what they mean. Some think it's Garage Allocation numbers. I keep all the changes in an Excel Spread Sheet. I can try to get it all organized Alex Today's CIT Sightings11 / 03 / 10 CITVR 609305 I don't have anything on this bus. What kind of bus was it?

M. David Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I don't have anything on this bus. What kind of bus was it?Alex I believe it was a 2005 LFS, judging by the 5 suffix. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. David Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Then it must have been an RTS?! I think I need new glasses. My eyesight's not what it once was. I'm getting on in years and all that . Does CITVR have a 609309? If so, that's what I probably saw. And if that's the case, it's an RTS. I'm not one of those immature people that makes stuff up. Error on my part; it was a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 The LFS are 350+ The RTS are 600+ The Classics are 658+ (I'm going on memory here without referring to the wiki so... kellergraham... a verdict based on the fact that we've pretty much seen the entire CITVR fleet in Beloeil?) Incidentally 683-30-3 was the first outbound 300 of the day. Got a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. David Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I give up. Apologies for the mistake. I'll make an appointment with my optometrist post haste (I'm probably due for one, anyway).

kellergraham Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Fair enough. It's an honest mistake. I probably entered the humber in my cell phone incorrectly. No need to ban me or anything. BANNED! For Incorrect CIT Sightings (Just Kidding!) Here's what I can make of this. - No one has ever seen a 609XXX on any of the Limocar-operated routes (including CIT and non-CIT) - The RTS's I have range from: -- 600-607 (CITVR) -- 625 (VR) -- 635 (VR) -- 636 (SURF) -- 637 (VR) -- 638-649 (SURF) Lets keep an eye out for it, just in case it DOES exist!

stm_5307N Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Did a lil PM fanning in Ste Therese today: I found SURF Boisbriand's oldest 2 classics in service: 623210 on route 22 (all white ghost livery) 652210 hors service on Ch St Louis and Ste Charles (all white ghost livery) The following classics were seen as well: 625215 (all white ghost livery) 673217 (SURF livery) 674217 (SURF livery) 675217 (SURF livery) 676217 (Trandev livery!!) 677217 (SURF livery) 682213 (SURF livery) 686214 (SURF livery) 698214 (Trandev livery!!) ex-CITSO 858 - No sign of the last classic ever built 678217 though. Must have been on a route that didn't go the Ste Therese terminus. - No buses remain in the older Limocar livery anymore All RTS's are in SURF livery now and the last remaining classics that did have the Limocar livery are all white with no decals on them but a SURF logo on the front of the bus. Also worth mentioning, I saw Les Moulins Orion V 29109 in Ste Therese and the LaneauBus double blue stripe livery is gone and the bus is back to ghost livery with a dumb small green circle at the back of the bus that says' Groupe Orleans'. Pretty lame if you ask me... Just when the Orion V's got a livery with LaneauBus, the go back to no livery again with Groupe Orleans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. David Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Interesting finds, Steve. Good to hear that SURF still has quite a few Classics around, inculding those two '90s. How the heck did ex-CITSO 858 end up there, though? Does it have a functional Balios display yet? -- Today's CIT Sightings 18 / 03 / 10 St. Julie 100: 31601 Montreal Express: 532C01 500: 31501, 57601 HS: 55303 CITSV 722: 2579 720: 0912 HS: 0859 CITCRC 120: 29701 with roll sign set to Longueuil. Does CITCRC have a route 120? That's the number that was indicated in the run box, which is used as a route number indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the heck did ex-CITSO 858 end up there, though? Does it have a functional Balios display yet? When Transdev took over CITSO, they transfered the bus to another divison of Transdev. The red crapios destination was working and it was on route 61 Bas Ste Therese, which is a local rush hour route only. Whats the vin number on that bus? Because i keep hearing that STO has the last classic ever built? They have the last 'transit' style classic ever built. The last last ever delivered is a suburban unit to CIT des Laurentides/ SURF now owned by Transdev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OC Transpo 8238 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Whats the vin number on that bus? Because i keep hearing that STO has the last classic ever built? From what I've heard is: STO got the last Classic built with A/C, while Autobus Auger got the last one period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
