stm_5307N Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Confirmation has been given that LA will receive a total of 20 3rd gens very soon in the first shippment of the new LFS model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Do you like it Pat? Goodbye Mediterranean Blue since 1974! 35 years of great livery now over. Does anyone know if they'll be doing this on the entire fleet, the newer buses, or just on the new arrivals? Because it would be a very interesting sighting to see a Classic with a new livery, perhaps with the new rebuilds that are going on with the 14's and 15's?

No, it will be all new deliveries getting the new paint scheme. The STM doesn't have the money to repaint anything... In the end if you think about it, the STM is getting 1000 new buses by 2011, so right there 2/3 of the fleet will be in new colors. By 2011 the oldest buses will be the 21 series most likely and even if there were a handfull or less of classics by 2011, it's not worth painting a bus for 3 years or less of service. All this being said, I'd love to see a classic in the new scheme, but it won't happen.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMS Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Yeah because until we start getting fleet expansion buses with the construction of a new garage as projected in the PTI, this means the death of Classics, but really they should be killing off lemon gens.

stm_5307N Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 However, it does have me feeling a bit worried about our Classics... Doesn't matter really, as we know there will be almost none left by 2011.. So stock up on the pics as much as possible but really they should be killing off lemon gens. We are killing them off with the 410 LFS replacements for the 1st gens over the next 3 years.. We won't have to see those trash buses after that!

SMS Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Don't forget guys: the STCUM didn't buy buses between 1996 and 2000 inclusively. Nothing happened. There is no series between the 15s and the 21s. And here's just the tip you Classic lovers need to know for a great start to the summer... tap Museum Day bus action!

Mystic Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Oh ya u can bet on that! For sure I'm going to be there for Museum Day, I'm still trying to book the day off, but I better be there. Possibly one of the last years of majority Classic service for this event. And the new 29's that arrive will probably be replacing all the lost 14's 15's and 1st gens that are missing from service now. Plus there are still a bunch of 14's and 15's getting complete overhauls, so I wouldn't write them off just yet, they'll still be around for another good 5 years or so. (hopefully).

M. David Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Those shots are just the tip, Steve! Nice work . I wonder when - and if - the other 29s will receive the double chevron livery. In other 29 news, 29s 038 & 29-050 were on the 161 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
