First Ride on a 2006 LFS!
19th December 2005

STM's 2006's have already rolled out, and quite a few months ahead of schedule. During a busfanning day, I had the chance to ride on STM's superstitious and perhaps not so lucky 26-013. Contained are a few photos of my experience.

STM Bus #26-013 - 2006 NovaLFS: Unfortunately the job was rushed to get these vehicles on the road early. Several imperfections were noted, such as plastic overlapping, missing screwholes and screws where they should be, a loose screw, and several missed attempts at screwing in fasteners!

STM Bus #26-013 - 2006 NovaLFS: The difference with the doors is that they open much faster than previous models, but make more than twice the amount of noise (resembles opening a pop can) and close half the speed.
