Those are the 602. 606, 607 and 3018. I usually see two of them every day. Rumor says that their days are numbered since the CITVR is supposed to receive some new buses very soon.

The RTS are supposed to be retired within the next 2 weeks, once all 5 LFS are in service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdgta2008 Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Is CITSO using Novas now on their peak route between Valleyfield and Gare Vaudreuil? I saw an all white 2nd gen LFS going down Aut. 20 on route 99 to Valleyfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denis20 Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Still on the CITVR side, I took a ride on the 3066-30-7 on Friday afternoon. It is funny that both the 3065 and 3066 are entirely white. They have not received their delivery yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it was before July 1 but still again... Why put a delivery if it's good only for 2-3 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the new buses in Laurentides. All buses received before June 1st got the new livery, anything after will remain white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdgta2008 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 I saw a CITPI MD30 in Pincourt with LED headlights. Did they get another new MD30...? I couldn't make out the number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Transbus has some new additions for CITSV. 1244 is a 2nd gen LFS all white, I am told it is ex-Guelph Transit, and apparently a sibling unit numbered 1245 exists as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTL66 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Transdev has also purchased some Ex-Guelph Transit Buses. TCMT 1012 was operating on RTM Le Richelain Service yesterday afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Interesting to note that CITVR programmed 300 Terminus Mansfield in their newest buses but older LFS merely state Montréal Centre-Ville as the destination of the 300. I have not noticed any other company program in Mansfield. RTL routes 86 and 87 temporarily serve Mansfield but the destination sign simply reads Montréal.

Both 3070 and 3071 will be test units for exo's real time tracking app and will be sent to the other divisions for training when the time comes. They will eventually be ent back to exo VR.

rgilmtl Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Transdev also has a couple of Ex-Coach Canada's. 3063334 and 3064334 (ex-4971) running from Chateauguay for exo Sud-Ouest. To me, it looks like Transdev is desperately buying (or leasing) any used vehicle it can right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were stored in the lot beside Costco on Bridge. The Ex-Guelph units are a no brainer. Don't know why Guelph got rid of them, they are only 2006 and 2007 units. 3063 is believed to be Ex-Coach Canada 4969 and 3064 as confirmed by @rgilmtl is Ex-CC 4971 as 4070 wa sold to Autocars Des Chutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guelph got rid of them because they ordered 23 Novas as strictly replacement instead of taking expansion into account. It was a strictly a replacement strategy.
