SMS Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Rode 3025-21-4 (2013 Nova Bus LFS) on CIT Laurentides route 9 last night! 3024 sister bus also exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmnewlook Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Looks like an ex-demo currently running for Paquette, I think it could be 625. Although I could be wrong... But what makes me think it might be an ex-demo is the fact that there's no logo except for the "LFS" in the back. Saw it on route 90 on Arthur-Sauvé this morning around 8:50.

2044 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Looks like the 2010 demo that was at the F1. Also looks like the one photographed when the new rear made its debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an serial hybrid "test bus" ... was spotted in Quebec City a month ago . It's was full of mesure instruments and sand bags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmnewlook Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Probably Paquette is testing it because I remember seeing 623 running the same route 40 minutes later. So, all that talk about an ex demo, throw that out the window, I seem to have erred... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm_5307N Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 That Yaxing Vacinity demo is now done with OMIT Saint-Jean and is at CITVR in Beloeil for the next 3 weeks. Don't know if it will stay local or end up at metro Longueuil on some off peak stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm_5307N Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I saw a Van Hool double decker last night operating for Keolis Orleans Express at Longueuil metro! It was in full Orleans livery and wasn't a demo at all. I never knew they had a double decker in their fleet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_the_traveller Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 That's interesting because I spotted a VR Classic at Terminus Longueuil this PM rush around 17:45! Maybe they do have a shortage indeed. I haven't seen a Vallée-du-Richelieu classic in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmnewlook Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Blus 5014232 has apparently suffered an engine fire and the driver's compartment has been slightly damaged. That explains why I've been seeing 3310230 (2000 Nova RTS) since the past couple of days doing the 400 around 5:30 AM on the Bonaventure heading to TCV.

So it's no bus shortage as this is very common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristan Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 There was a Vicinity bus on CIT Roussillion route 130 on Saturday January 11 around lunch time at Terminus Panama. It wasn't in any livery and did not have a fleet number. However, the destination sign was working and programmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back to Terminus Longueuil to try and actually ride one of them, but the one I saw stayed in the layover area for over two hours. Does it normally do any particular departure?

There's a CITVR classic at the metro 5 days a week (Monday to Friday) at 16:20 pm. Yesterday it was their 1995 Nova classic but it was the spare and didn't move all of PM rush until the spare driver took it back to the VR yard just after 18:15pm. Sometimes the classic does go into service just after 16:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Perhaps it is a doublure tripper if the regular bus is rammed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm_5307N Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 CITVR 1st gen at the metro in pm rush. This is a rare sight as these buses are usually assigned to local trainbus service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
