gmnewlook Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Finally some Nova 3rd gen action in the east end! Yesterday, I spotted Groupe Orléans/RTCR 29227 on Notre-Dame and 82è Avenue at 11h55 doing the 3. Also, I saw what looked like 29229 at the Repentigny garage.

M. David Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Ayeobe sent me a text message saying that he spotted RTCR 29229 in service at or around Metro Radisson yesterday. He said that it had small front doors as opposed to the larger ones that the STM and RTC 3rd-gens have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that it had small front doors as opposed to the larger ones that the STM and RTC 3rd-gens have. As looking the photos carefully, indeed it does. This may have a telescoptic rear ramp, but it's hard to tell for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmnewlook Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 It does have the narrow front doors, but for the ramp, I don't think they activate it. It's there 'cause it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for 44902, it's yet another suburban Transcar Classic. No idea of the year, though. Veolia's seemingly random 5-digit fleet numbers are a bit hard to figure out.

M. David Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 There's no 449. I think you mean 494. You know what, you're probably right. I may have accidentally wrote 49402 as 44902. Eitherway, it's still a Transcar Classic I'm referring to. Apologies for the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellergraham Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Veolia's seemingly random 5-digit fleet numbers are a bit hard to figure out. Based on limited information from various sources: XXXCZZ XXX - Unit Number of the Bus C - Letter C - Appears only on some buses -- I don't know what it is. ZZ - According to Veolia, this is the Garage number. I've never been able to decipher what each number is and why there are so many...

M. David Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Thanks for the info, Alex ! -- Today's CIT Sightings 01 / 04 / 10 CITSV 700: 2706, 2579 722: 0913, 0910, 2582 730: 9945 - This bus is always assigned to the 730. It has a red pancarte that says Circuit 730 pasted in the window next to the door. The Luminator at the front displays a very garbled CIT Rousillion.
