The other bus they restored was former Gray Line suburban 33-008, which entered service as a sightseeing bus in 1983. Once the STCUM got out of the sightseeing business in the late '80s, these eight buses were available for regular service, but with no back doors, they really weren't of a lot of use on most routes, so they were shipped up to the St.-Laurent Garage in the West Island because that garage operated a lot of express and limited stop routes where the back door situation would not be a problem. These buses made a lot of rush hour appearances up to their retirement in 1998, usually on routes 174 Air Canada or 216 Pointe-Claire, and not on 38 Ville-Marie like the sign says, as this route was not even based out of that garage!
