Photo - September 2010
This year marks the first time in the history of the Toronto
Transportation Society that our biannual Transportation Weekend will be
held outside of Ontario, with a pair of fan trips planned in the
Montréal area. The Saturday trip will feature an MCI Classic from the
Societe de Transport de Montréal (STM), and the Sunday trip will
feature an MCI Classic from the Réseau de Transport de Longueuil (RTL).
While Classics were once the dominant buses in both systems' fleets
this is no longer the case and as of the last official counts the STM
had 219 of them in their active fleet and the RTL had 42.
In the photo above, STM MCI Classic 12-043, a 1992 model, is seen
eastbound on Newman Boulevard at Senkus St. in the borough of LaSalle
on
August 15, 2008. This bus is no longer active.
