Description

This is STM 14-080, a 1994 Nova Bus Classic. I spotted it recently laying over at Metro Du College, so I thought I'd grab a quick photo.

14-080 is an endangered species in Montreal, as it is currently one of only two '94 Classics that still carries a Balios electronic disc (the round thing mounted on the front). The Balios disc displays three different symbols for specialized rapid services. However, they are no longer used.

Several other STM Classics (mostly in the 59, 11, 12 and 14 series) were equipped with Balios discs at one point, but most of them lost them due to repaints or rebuilds. The only other bus to have a Balios disc is 14-080's sister unit, 14-085. As far as I know, 14-085's disc is still functional, but I'm not sure about that of 14-080.
