I took the following photos in 2010. These photos depict a Montreal 'accordion style' bus. It is called accordion style because the middle of the bus resembles an accordion. In one of the photos (a closeup of the outside of the bus) will show that this model has 3 doors...one at the front where the driver is, one in the center and one near the back. Another photo shows a distant shot of the exterior, and the other photo shows the interior...but toward the back of the bus. You will see what the middle of the bus looks like both from the exterior as well as the interior. This model of bus is used on the busier bus lines, and not on all bus lines. It is pretty much twice the size of a regular bus. You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.
For the following, I am providing the link sources beneath each photo. You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.
Thank you all so much for visiting me here! I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share.
i've never heard of accordion buses before ... really unique! love the look of them, and you took nice photos :)
ReplyDeleteLovely quotes, you always find the best of all, and the bus, when we were in Brisbane many years ago, went in one, the eeriest feeling as we went round corners, it was so long. Lovely explanation to fir the photos. Cheers,Jean

That is such a silly gag video however I am still chuckling :-). My cousins remember the Cigarette ads, and now that you mention it, the sponsors I do remember that-I've ridden on your accordion buses-lovely quotes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm a great Beatles fan so I'll look forward to that documentary by Ron Howard. I've enjoyed most of his films, so I'm sure he'll do a good job.
I visited Liverpool in the summer of 2013 and went to see the Beatles Story museum, enjoyed some music and a drink at the Cavern Club and did the Magical Mystery Tour. Lot's of photo's on my blog.
A big bus!
ReplyDeleteLove that accordion bus. Never seen one like that. Would be able to take in a lot of passengers, really great idea!
ReplyDeleteMerci pour les photos du bus en accordéon de Montréal, c'est très intéressant.
ReplyDeleteBon dimanche
Laurence
de jolies photos Linda
ReplyDeleteet l'avant-dernière citation me plaît beaucoup...
have a nice sunday
Wow! That is one big honkin bus! My favorite quote is from Sunflowers to Showers. I always have a hard time getting motivated to get anything done.

He or she is a lucky person. If it'd been me I would have kicked the cactus back into place! :-) Many thanks for giving me another big chuckle today in the morning.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
The bird feeding is wonderful thing of nature.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Linda,
ReplyDeleteTahiti, Bora Bora et ces îles me font complètement rêver....
Bisous et bon dimanche

That last quote is true but not always easy to deal with... especially the people that came in to teach us lessons... Have a great Sunday Linda :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda for sharing these videos with us. The accordion bus was very unique. Great quotes. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteI like them all but especially the last poster...:)
ReplyDeleteI love the cushion of the bus seaters. It is a very unique bus. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Malaysia.
Bonjour ma belle Linda, que tout est tellement beau! Bise et bon dimanche tout doux!
ReplyDeleteScary gag, Linda !
ReplyDeleteWe have buses like that, I wrote you before, I remember...
Beautiful... !
Merci pour tous ces partages.
ReplyDeleteBonne soirée
Shalom Linda. It's nice to see and compare other cities' accordion buses. Yours is pretty, very long, clean, and ... empty. Where are all the passengers?
ReplyDeleteWe have a few of those in Jerusalem but always so packed that it would be hard to shoot a photo. It is fun to stand in the middle on the turning part, like a merry go round.
Hi Dina, I took this photo just after the passengers got off the bus...and before I got off myself! I wanted people to see what the seats look like with the design and all. :) Normally, and especially during rush hour, these buses are pretty full.
DeleteNice, I love these beautiful birds in this bright pictures!
ReplyDeleteHi Dear,
ReplyDeleteoh, thank you for your nice visit and your lovely words on my blog! Now I learnd a lot and had fun! Thank you for that!
All my best from Austria
Elisabeth
Nice photos! Arianna
ReplyDeleteThe Beatles film is very interesting, a news flash I had not known about! Did you know that I saw the Beatles when I was a teenager? Did you watch Ron Howard as Opie? So much has been shown ans written about them that I can't imagine how there can be anything new or different! But at least we know it will all be true because of the remaining Beatles being involved.

We have those accordion buses in our city bus line as well, for many of the transitway routes, and some of the busier routes that don't go on the transitway.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to ride in one of those buses. They look so cool and fun, almost like an amusement park ride. Blessings!
ReplyDelete¡Hello! What a funny video, the first one!
ReplyDeleteI'm very surprised about the big and comfortable bus! You took a great photo.
I send you a kiss and I wish you have a good week!
Hello Linda! It is intersting to see that your busses look the same with ours.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!
Hi Linda! I got such a kick out of the Quebec gag video. That would have freaked me out! It immediately made me think of one of my favorite movies and plays: Little Shop of Horrors. (It's a favorite of my dentist too). I used to ride on Denver's accordion busses when I worked downtown. I slid the sunflowers to showers quote onto my desktop for the next time I'm feeling overwhelmed. Have a happy week, after a great Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and quotes with the hummingbirds!
ReplyDeleteSometimes that all we need to do - just remember to breathe. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'll love to watch the Beatles documentary, missed Beatlemania obviously, but my mom was into them and ABBA.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have buses like those in Portland back in the 90s. They were always an adventure to ride in!

ReplyDeleteUn petit bonjour chez toi en ce lundi matin [-ิ‿•ิ]❀
