SMS Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I think there is only one solution to this. Classic 9401 can scan his RTC employee OPUS card and prove that he's a driver, and if we're wrong then we'll apologize. If Classic 9401 won't do it then we know he's not being forthcoming with who he really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i if possible, also the STLevis OPUS Card, even if STL dosen't have OPUS yet, staff have them (for boarding ferry and RTC bus for exemple) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough is enough and we need solid proof now that you're a driver for these 2 transit systems. There are no records of you on file as a driver for the ST-Levis period.. If we are wrong which can be possible, please show us as SMS said. We obviously have enough proof to say that you're not a driver, or else we wouldn't be doing this.

general682002 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I don't know if he will speak out. I mean, working two different transit is impossible as both companies do offer FT. There's no way you can do both due to log of driving hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. David Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I must admit, this whole thing kinda caught me by surprise. Then again, there have been some discrepancies discovered, as previously outlined here. If this whole thing was supposed to be a joke, we're not laughing, becuase it is not funny in the slightest. As the old adage states, "All that glisters is not gold." I'm no prospector, but I don't see anything golden about any of this. I'm not sure what to believe here. If Classic 9401 can provide us with some kind of concrete evidence that he works for both TAs, which, as Sherman just mentioned, might not even be possible, then everything will be okay, I suppose. But if not, this guy has landed himself in a heap of trouble. I must admit, I've seen this kind of thing before. I've been a member of numerous message boards over the years, and this kind of thing happens a lot. You have this new member join, and he or she starts making all of these grandiose, yet somewhat believable claims about something. Everyone finds it interesting at first, but eventually, cracks are discovered in the facade, so to speak. Eventually, people begin to question whether this person is telling the truth, or making it all up. As the story begins to unravel like a badly-made wool sweater, the unfortunate truth is exposed. There is an ad often featured in the Montreal Gazette that best sums up this situation. It features the word Believe, with the three middle letters bolded, like this: Believe. Sounds kind of appropriate, I guess. As the others have said, we have nothing against you, Classic 9401, but if there's something you'd like to tell us, the time is now. We value honesty here, and as Bob said, "Honesty is the best policy." Think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness we went to Levis like 2 weeks ago to get pics! Some of the buses we saw active are dead now! Prefect example is 8589 which we saw in formation 2 weeks ago and now is gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn! That's depressing. I was hoping that nothing more would be retired until next year. I am thinking about making a trip to QC in the Spring.

SMS Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Please let us know the dates Bob! It'd be great to hook up with you. Not bad timing for that trip eh Steve? Looks like the arrival of the first gens killed these buses off. If now's the time for me to ask for a roster from my supervisor buddy I'd be happy to hook you guys up. Also the previous problem has been dealt with, he has been given his chance, and we do not tolerate bogus sightings in this section, nor bogus members. This decision is not negotiable and the case is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm_5307N Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Is 8514R still on the road? We saw it Sept 9th AM rush and when we got to the garage, they were pulling the rear bumper off and doing work on it. Yes, it was in the garage IIRC. It didn't go out.

Good to hear that the older buses are still in service. I was in Levis on Friday and I spotted 8515 running on Highway 20 and a 1992 Classic running along boul. Rive-Sud, but all the buses that stopped at the Galleries Chagnon when I was there were 09XX LFS buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To maximize MCI Classic Sighting, you must place yourself in Quebec City on Laurier Boulevard as many MCI are affected on 27 express, 34 express, 35 express that are not going into downtown levis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm_5307N Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Updated the ST-Levis roster on the wiki so you guys can see what's left active. There are 5 GM Classics left in all (8413, 8514, 8515, 8590, 8688). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
