Société de transport de Montréal 31-001 to 31-237
Société de transport de Montréal 31-001 to 31-237 are Nova Bus LFS buses built in 2010 and 2011. The first bus to enter service in this series was 31-011, on December 21, 2010.
The buses feature the blue, white, and yellow livery with two large overlapping chevrons near the rear on either side. One chevron is blue and the other is yellow and where they overlap is green. The buses have a wide front door with a wheelchair ramp located at the front door. All seats are upholstered in Holdsworth Fabrics FAH737 "lagoon" moquette. These buses feature interior CCTV cameras. Starting around the 31-080-range, the seats feature new inserts with a chevron-based motif on a dark blue background, and the stop request button is in blue. Bus 31-237, which was delivered later than the rest, features a different rear door design, button-activated rear door, and different modesty panels.
On October 27, 2010, the STM announced that they will be testing buses with air conditioning in the summer of 2011. Eight 40 foot buses were announced to be tested and will have different specifications for evaluation. Two buses will have air conditioning and regular specifications, two buses will have air conditioning and thermopane windows, two buses will have air conditioning and their windows locked shut, and two buses will have electric air conditioning.
Units 31-001 to 31-008 are delivered with luggage racks for service on route 747. Units 31-211 to 31-220 have since been retrofitted with luggage racks.
