Love this, some nice memories of when I used to work in the area, out dining room had a view on that entrance/exit and it was fascinating to see the pace at which the buses come and go. Plus all the variations of models and paint jobs! Thanks for the peek inside, I never actually went down to see what it was like but it's definitely an organized chaos!
This video made me feel very nostalgic all of a sudden! That area has long been a hub for buses from the South Shore. I have a vague memory of taking the bus with my parents when I was a little kid and having to load/unload on the sidewalk on the north or south sides of Place Bonaventure. A few years after that, they opened TCV in an open space that would later become 1000 de la Gauchetiere. Not long after, much of the TCV's operations were moved to the location of today's Terminus Mansfield, when construction of 1000 de la Gauchetiere was underway, and I have memories of that as well.
Just goes to show how significant this area is to transit. In a couple of years we’ll have the REM which could replace a lot of that traffic, keeping it at Terminus Panama and other South Shore REM stations (Du Quartier, Rive-Sud).
Have you heard about the Nova bus that is to star in its own TH-cam webisode? The show is based in Montreal and its about this sort of Christine-like Nova bus that has a mind of its own, but unlike Christine its actually not some demented monster. On the contrary, the Nova bus ( I can't remember its name) actually helps out people in superhero type ways, unbeknownst to all the passengers and even the drivers. There's only two guys who know what's going on and it happens to be a Nova bus fanatic who has spent years videoing them and posting them on TH-cam, and a mysterious ex-driver of that bus. The show is really about how over the years, through careful analysis, the videographer figures all of this out about that particular Nova bus ( whatever the "name" of the Nova bus is, I think the videographer might actually be the guy who names the bus), but anyway, what makes the series cool is the backstory of that bus and why it has the power to do those things, why it is doing those thing for the good of others ( and not evil, like the '59 Plymouth Fury Christine). So really the series, played out in this on this videographer's videos of Nova buses on TH-cam, is really like jumping back between the present and flashbacks to the backstory. What also makes it kind of cool, is that really you don't know if the videographer is just imagining all of this or if it is for real, because the "actions" of the bus are sort of narrated by the videographer - so for instance in one early episode where the videographer begins to understand this about the Nova bus, he recounts an episode where the driver couldn't get the bus to stop and it proceeds to run into a vechicle, but it turns out that vehicle was being driven by some car-jacker who had just committed some heinous crime, and by speeding and panicking ( I guess maybe police were pursuing the carjacker) he was about to careen into a crowd of people who were crossing the road in downtown Montreal, but of course the Nova bus stops that from happening. I guess we are led to believe that this and many other "heroic acts" of that Nova bus really happened because the videographer with some conviction tells us they did. But after all it is just a fictional webisode to spread the love of Nova buses. But back to the webisode story, as you can see, its dozens of instances like that concerning this particular Nova bus ( and the guy, being a Nova bus fanatic, knows which particular Nova bus it is because the buses all have numbers - oh yeah, I think he gives this particular Nova bus a funny name based on the sound of its number in French), that the videographer begins to understand, much to his amazement, that the Nova bus "has a mind of its own". But as I said, the really interesting part of the story is his thorough research of the bus and finding out through its history of a certain driver, who although no longer driving has a very interesting story to tell. That part of the story takes you to Quebec City where the "mysterious ex-driver" of that particular Nova bus (so many years ago) is now living. But I have to add that before the videographer ever tracks him down in Quebec City, you only see this "ex-driver" from behind watching all of this videographer's videos on TH-cam about that particular Nova bus that he once drove. That is actually how the webisode begins, with this ex-driver watching the evolution of this Nova bus fan videographer's first observations of what this particular Nova bus seems to be doing, the bus he used to drive - and his own comments heard along with the Nova bus fan videographer's comments on the video he is watching help give clues from one episode to the next about what this bus is doing, how it is doing it, and why it is doing it. Of course, the audience finds out little by little, through each webisode that this guy we just see from behind watching the videographer's videos on TH-cam about this particular Nova bus is actually the ex-driver of that bus, and it actually from his point of view that we see the videographer arrive at his door. Well, eventually, as you know, because I just told you, they meet up with each other, and actually the rest of the episodes sort of just devolve into that Mysterious Man whose face you never see (the ex-driver) being a little like Charlie in the TV series "Charlie's Angels", or like Kitt's inventor in the "Knight Rider" series, in that through his comments on the videographer's videoed rides on that particular Nova bus on TH-cam, he tells the videographer ( in some sort of code of course, so that the other commenters aren't really that privy to what is going on) about all the passengers and businesses on that route, going back into the long history of them, and how that particular Nova bus "knows" them all. Eventually the videographer and the Nova bus begin to talk to each other, but like I said, you really don't know if this is all just happening in the videographer's mind because on the TH-cam video it just sounds like voice overs with two different voices, that of the videographer of course, and that of the Nova bus, but it seems to be real because the "mysterious ex-driver", who watches all of the videographer's videos on TH-cam, also seems to hear the conversations of the videographer and the Nova bus because the comments he writes comment on their conversations.
@@BenLomonRail Well, if you think about it, it really wouldn't be that hard for a fellow with some good cameras, audio equipment, and knowledge of software editing to do. There are really only two roles that could both be played by the videographer since we never see the "mysterious ex-bus driver's face or hear his voice - even when the videographer shows up at his door in Quebec City we just see a stand in from behind face to face with the videographer, but all the other times it could just be played by the videographer with a camera from behind, as the camera films the ex-bus driver at his computer from behind - put a wig on him and fluffed up clothes to have a different silhouette... If the videographer was friends with some of the real bus drivers, he could sort of fill them in on this plot and then shoot to edit some "faux interviews" , perhaps even as they are driving, to make it all the more believable. For example, in "recounting" (making it up) one mysterious instance where the bus seemed to be acting on its own - and then, of course the bus driver if he decides to play along with it, just goes into some made up, but really believable incident that saved some people from getting hit, or stopped a burglary, or sped up to get a pregnant lady on board to the hospital, or a thousand other instances that some really creative mind could make up (maybe bits of "the story" could be staged and filmed if they're real simple, or just use regular stock footage to cut into the scene to suggest something happened without really having to have real actors, props or staged movement, just stock footage of certain people, buildings, or people getting off or on the bus, and then later in post production, making up a story about it to "fit" the "interview" as the driver is telling the story, to make it all the more believable. Likewise, the real bus driver or drivers who decide to play along (maybe one "interviewed" at the garage, or maybe just a "fake driver" who is really just a friend but playing a bus driver of that particular Nova bus is "interviewed" at home, (with the uniform still on, as he just "got off work" - if you can procure just the jacket - remember it's just a talking head shot) and then goes into talking about that "mysterious ex-driver" who used to drive that Nova bus years ago.... The rest is quite easy as it is just post production voice-overs between the videographer and the Nova bus, flashback shots interjected of like I wrote incidents, interviews, or things germane to the conversation, interjected shots of the "mysterious ex-driver" watching the video from his computer, etc. But what I think makes this TH-cam webisode really cool is that the videographer, who is of course playing the "mysterious ex-driver" himsellf, actually helps fill out the plotlines by commenting in the comment section of each TH-cam webisode installment critical information that helps the videographer learn WHO the "mysterious ex-bus driver" was - actually a computer genius who after being ostracized and expelled by academia for "certain reasons" (we find that out much later ) had to drive a bus - but after having invented the most mind blowing AI (artificial intelligence), the "mysterious ex-bus driver" almost playfully thinks: what if I installed it in my bus - it would make my job easier in many ways - and it does as he indeed installs it in the Nova bus - but much to his amazement and as you may guess, the machine starts taking on a mind of its own - memorizing faces, habits of passengers, where they are going, where they get on the bus, routines, amazing powers through being in sync with surrounding wireless networks, people's phones, overhearing conversations, and a thousand other things....But something happens - almost like a break in the friendship - where the "mysterious ex-bus driver" and the Nova bus have to part ways (we find that out later too) - I don't know why they no longer talk to each other (I did go to Quebec City and Montreal to find out, but as you may already know, that other party has some real problems in maintaining friendships (maybe due to the fact he is a genius) but more probably due to the fact that his bad eyesight would not let him drive). Anyway, to let you in on what I think a good plot would be - the Nova bus is really hurt that the "mysterious ex-bus driver" had to take off like that and the Nova bus has to find some way to make contact again, as it has been years since the "mysterious ex-bus driver" quit his job at the STM ( and you know what that stands for) and moved off to Quebec City - so through this AMAZING TECHNOLOGY that I told you about, that the Nova bus has - the Nova bus took notice of this cool guy, who I guess is the real star of the webisode, who just happens to be as we later find out, a Nova bus fanatic and has a TH-cam channel dedicated to just that subject - somehow the Nova bus, having been able to "plug into the system (the net, wireless, satellites, whatever...) through mind-blowing complex algorithms, has already pinned down where the "mysterious ex-bus driver" is online and sees that HE himself, the "mysterious ex-bus driver" has TH-cam channel with some retro name that harkens to his past and his love of vehicles. I guess, in a naughty way, the Nova bus subscribes them to each other's channels ( the Nova bus is able to do that you know, AI and all...) because the Nova bus is desperate to reconnect with its creator and resolve the issues ( which like all good superhero plots is really at the center of this webisode and gives it credible heft and weightiness - you know the resolution of conflicts : man against man, man against nature, and man against himself) Of course, the videographer, who the Nova bus uses ( and I shouldn't say "use" because the Nova bus and the videographer really do become the best of friends), but for all intents and purposes, "uses" the videographer to help send messages to the "mysterious ex-bus driver", who does reconnect with the Nova bus through watching the videos of the videographer, because that is how the webisode really starts as I told you in the earlier post, because as the videographer, at first, unwittingly, becomes the feet, hands, and really the heart, of the Nova bus by documenting all the strange observations and strange discoveries of the Nova bus, that he is finding out through research and interviews, it is the "mysterious ex-bus driver" who reluctantly at first comes on line through commenting on the videographers channel's comment section that leads him to the truth of the situation - but alas, there are even more truths to discover! Anyway, you can see how this is all very feasible with just the basic equipment, and someone with some really serious imagination and talent, could really meld and edit together a webisode series that would not only pull you in, but be ultra fascinant et tres cool.
Actually within this whole plot, after thinking about it, there's only one little flaw - it the Nova bus is communicating with the videographer, and the "mysterious ex'bus driver" who watches the videographer's videos on TH-cam is also privy to their conversations, as he makes his own comments to them on the videographer's video's comment section - how is this happening without the driver of the Nova bus and all the other passengers hearing in as well? Solution: I think in those buses there is a rectangular panel LED panel either up front or on the side that display current intersections and stops coming up information ( if there isn't then it can be fictionalized, but more than likely there is - and that is really the only place you might have to put out some money is to buy an exact replica of one of those rectangular LED panels that are indeed sold at lighting/advertising shops, but it would be critical to at least just within the frame, get it to look exactly like what is in the bus, with the surrounding back ground around it- painted sheet metal, just enough to fill in the frame on a close-up of the LED display). Then one could program whatever message one wants on the display, which would of course, be the "voice" of the Nova bus, I guess the Nova bus could probably just send the videographer text messages, but remember the "mysterious ex-bus driver" has to be able to see it all too - and the videographer for his part of the conversation is just whispering into his camera as he is recording, which of course the Nova bus picks up on as it is able to pick up on even subsonic sounds in its environs, and of course , once in a while the videographer's whispering gets the attention of passengers - which the real response of real people (unaware of what you are doing) in the real time caught on camera would be hilarious, as you later in post production, edit that in at the right moment, along with the messages Nova is sending on the LED panel, and I suppose if you have gone "live on TH-cam" that the "mysterious ex-bus driver" is posting in the chat or comments. But from time to time passengers who for the most part ignore and don't read what is on the LED panel, may actually get a tail end of the Nova Bus's conversation with the videographer, but of course able to monitor everything that is going on in the bus, ceases the message and cuts it off to display the regular bus info once it senses someone other than the videographer is looking at the LED panel. Of course the trick here is that , in reality, what appears as a webisode on your TH-cam channel, and what the "ex-mysterious bus driver" sees, and that we all indeed see is you whispering to the Nova bus and the Nova bus communicating on the LED panel, and perhaps later on, the communications of the "mysterious ex-bus driver" as he comments live in chat or otherwise later in TH-cam comments as you have your smartphone with you on the bus - you all don't have to be communicating at the same time, but for some situations maybe you can, and later in post production you can edit to shots of it with your camera trained on the phone, or just edit it in later as a screenshot. But as I said, THE TRICK HERE IS that in the "fictionalized" version of what you are filming with your camera, the TH-cam viewers "IN THE PRETEND WORLD" " never see" the LED panel replies (the Nova bus "voice"), just you whispering, although the TH-cam viewers do become aware of the "mysterious ex-bus driver" as he begins to comment in the comment section for real on TH-cam - which is how they learn of plot development....

Great video. Could watch action like this for hours. Hope you do another video like this soon
There are several other busy terminuses in Montreal. Could be interesting. 😉
