Société de transport de Montréal 16-001 to 16-180

Société de transport de Montréal 16-001 to 16-180 were Nova Bus LFS buses built for the Société de transport de la communauté urbaine de Montréal from 1995 to 1996. Buses 16-001 to 16-010 were delivered in 1995 while the remainder were delivered throughout 1996. The first of these buses entered service on December 18, 1996 and marked the first low floor, wheelchair accessible buses in the fleet. Internally these and other first generation LFS buses are known as APS-1 (autobus à plancher surbaissé, low floor bus in French). These buses were the first of a 640-unit order placed by the member agencies of the Association des transporteurs urbains du Québec (ATUQ), which includes the Société de transport de Laval and Société de transport de la Rive-Sud de Montréal, in 1993.^[1]

The fleet of these early model Nova LFS had their share of teething issues. Some buses were retired early due to various problems, the most serious of which were fires. Authorized by Transports Québec, a tender was issued in 2008 for the immediate replacement of the first generation buses due to ongoing reliability issues. A deal was reached with Nova Bus for 410 new buses at a price of $469,700 each. Also included was the buy back of the 410 outgoing vehicles for $30,000^[2] Some of the buses that were already purchased by Nova were taken to the Prevost facility in British Columbia and used for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Other buses were sold to CITs and other transit agencies in Canada.
