For STM, the first since the 10 not-fondly-remembered D700As of 1971 that made Flyer a dirty word there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsbuspage Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I have a good customer service story from the STL: Back in the fall, I sent the STL a message asking for a new 2018 system map. They told me that they did not have any in stock yet but the map was available online. Oh well, no big deal, I thought, and I planned to contact them again in the spring. Imagine my surprise this morning when I checked my e-mail and saw that the the STL had sent me a follow-up e-mail telling me that printed maps were now available and asking if I was still interested! Of course, I told them, and I gave them my address, so now I'll be waiting patiently by my mailbox for my new map to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STO_1601 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 How many buses is the STL getting? 1908 is the highest number so far on the Transee tracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the rent-a-cops security guards still as anal concerned about photographers as they've been in the past? I've been told off by them had a few chats with them in the past and now only take photos from public streets when I'm in Laval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted April 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Best bet is to not shoot within terminals to avoid harassment. Don't say that we did not warn you. Other decent places for STL shots include but are not limited to Terminus Le Carrefour, Métro Côte-Vertu, Métro Henri-Bourassa, and if you aren't picky, even Métro Radisson can nail you variety if anything else (many more transporters there).

TheTransitBusFan Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 does STL still put 7777 the 2013 electric bus into service its stil tracking at the garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted April 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Sadly this bus never sees the light of day anymore. The STL does not even want to pull it out when a group of transit fans visit. Last time we tried was when the MNYBA group were invited to the facility in 2016. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been down this road about this before... It is not retired until we get official conformation from a valid source. A Youtuber who heard it from a mechanic is not a valid source. The bus is still tracking on Transsee, so it is not officially retired until the GPS systems and Farebox is removed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STO_1601 Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Can anyone confirm that the 2019s are 1901-1911? It's been a few months and there is still nothing higher than 1911 tracking on the Transee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
