stm_5307N Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 One of the new OMIT Sainte-Julie prevost coaches was in service yesterday in PM rush. It has a new modified livery with a small swoosh pattern at the rear on both sides. The bus still remains mostly white and boring though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristan Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 March 6, 2014 I spotted a Vicinity on Champlain Bridge heading to the South Shore just before PM rush. I saw it quickly but noticed it was in a livery with some green I couldn't identify. There was a fleet number in the current Transdev format starting with 6000. The destination sign was set to Bonne Journée. March 8, 2014 Transdev CITSO 397333 a 2003 Orion V was in service last night on the 31 or 32. It was the first time I've seen an Orion since they took delivery of their new LFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfil Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Made some CITCRC observations this morning at Stationnement incitatif Chambly. Did not note the numbers. They seemed to have a shortage, among other troubles (like car accidents on A-10 delaying returns). Ex-Saint-Jean Dupont Victoria seen on local routes Ex-Saint-Jean RTS 30' seen on route 401 MicroBird on route 400 Yaxing Vicinity ex-demo 6000233 on routes 10, 11 and 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimon8000 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Did you read the description that he posted along with the photo? Sorry my bad@_@ the question should be is it the same demo that was on loan to SURF(CIT Laurentides), with two tones green stripes on the sides before?! That would be awesome if someone can provide a ViN # on it thx@@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busfan0947 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yes, that's the same bus, LJSKB6GP5CD002419. Transdev finally bought that demo few months ago. Even though Transdev put a "3" as the year of the bus, it is a 2012 model (10th digit is a "C"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmnewlook Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Spotted a CITSV H3-45 on A-30 in St-Hubert going east. Was coming up the stairs for my lunch break at work, so I was too far away to notice the fleet number. We're on Armand-Frappier close to the cul-de-sac.

webfil Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Not quite a CIT, but still, here's Veolia Saint-Jean 3008253, a 201? 32-foot Orion VII. Quite a rare specimen in Québec. It is numbered as a full-length urban bus (3xxx253), although it is more of a midi (thus could be numbered 6xxx253). It was parked near the IGA on Boulevard du Séminaire. Sorry for the quality, the picture was taken with my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 CITPI 1202 sighted at P11 doing the Casino Employees Shuttle this week! Looks like Transbus has the contract. Bye bye La Québécoise we hardly knew ye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm_5307N Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 La Quebecoise is down to only CIT Le Richelain and some small charter services. Things aren't good for them and will only get worse as I bet they will lose the Le Richelain contract for transit service in La Prairie, St Constant and St Philippe soon.

webfil Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 La Québecoise took the PLUMobile contract last year from the hands of the Auger monopoly. Ridership went up by 31% in 2013; they started to operate a suburban service in Québec city with a used suburban LFS they transferred from CITSV (Auger still operates white/commercial schoolbuses and minis on the other suburb systems) While it is not as extensive as the CITs system, Québec suburban transit, currently exploding with ridership and demand skyrocketing, is interesting to reorient one's bus business in harsh times.

Moreover how many buses were used on that service and what's the # for that ex-CITSV LFS being used? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
