What a waste of taxpayer money! This was just a tactic liklely by the STM to get rid of some of thier lemons. ..

@retroolschool At Least STM kept their best running buses (CLassics).

Nice vid! ;)

[mapdark]

it,s kinda funny that they left the french stickers on the windows telling people to walk towards the backl XD

[newflyer3000]

@mapdark: LOL, I did hear some very confused passengers making comments like "why is everything in French on this bus? Even the "stop request" sign says "arret demande"!"

Hahaha, I guess the guy couldn't figure out that push bar to open the rear door. I guess they didn't put the instructions in English. Don't worry though, we've had them for over 15 years and people still haven't figured it out...

[talldude123]

@MysticMTL That's true. The New Flyer D40LF's have the push bar rear doors. Weird that the Classic's have automatic doors, when they're older buses.

[MysticMTL]

I think it's because there's a wheelchair ramp on the floor where the door activator was located on Classics, so there might not be enough room. Or it could be when the bus is full people can stand near the door without always opening it, until they're ready to get off.

[talldude123]

@MysticMTL I didn't realize the Classic's were wheelchair accessible...they have the steps right? Or does the wheelchair go through the back like the E-Series mini buses?

[MysticMTL]

Ooops, didn't word it right. I meant that on the Classics, the door activator was on the steps, but on the LFS there is no room for it because under the floor is a wheelchair ramp, so they had to use a push bar instead. If our Classics were wheelchair accessible, I'm sure we'd still have a lot of them left, and wouldn't need the LFS model!

[BusBoyCRHS]

good point

[BusBoyCRHS]

lol never thought i would see a montreal bus in vancouver

[MrKabDrivr]

@MysticMTL Absolutely true... I must admit, however, that some of the sensors on them doors are not very... "sensing" if you know what I mean!... And not all back doors have push bars, only the newer ones...

[MysticMTL]

Look at that Montreal style graffiti!

[talldude123]

@MysticMTL I know, rude people eh?

[MysticMTL]

This bus must have spent some time at the Lasalle Division garage in Montreal, where most of the school extras are located.

[MrKabDrivr]

@MysticMTL Or at Frontenac... . We have 'em here as well at Mt-Royal...

[talldude123]

Oh, this is one of the Blue Nova's that are loaned from Montreal? I have been meaning to ride on one, pending which route it is going.

[busrailfan]

@talldude123 - Better do that very soon! They will be gone VERY soon!
