Autocar Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted July 2, 2015 Wierd Sighting: Just saw 2 buses with the same number, 4006. # 1 is the correct one assigned to Troy Garage on the 22 line. The mistake is the on the bus plus route and is painted in the bus plus colors. Obviously it should be 5006. Would be great to get them side by side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autocar Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted August 3, 2015 Correction, the Bus Plus Gillig Hybrid that has the purple stripe is 5501. CDTA has no bus # 5001. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS4Ever Posted December 16, 2015 Share #12 Posted December 16, 2015 Hey when will CDTA have a bus route towards Kingston. ..i won't mind if the fare is double the local bus fare No way im paying 14 dollars on the trailways NY that's too much If this dream is possible one can reach Albany from NYC for just $16 bucks a bargain P.s : is $14 from Kingston to Albany not counting the subway/beeline ; Leprechaun lines to Poughkeepsie ; UCAT to Kingston which arriving Kingston would sum up to $13 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailBus63 Posted December 19, 2015 Share #13 Posted December 19, 2015 The numbers of the Nova Artics are 6001 & 6002, saw them again last evening. Did they buy Nova LFS artics in additional to New Flyer XD60 Xcelsior artics? CDTA showed off Xcelsior artic #6000 back in October - http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/CDTA-unveils-new-expanded-bus-6572482.php 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autocar Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share #14 Posted December 21, 2015 Now, I'm not 100% sure. I saw them at dusk / evening passing me in the opposite direction. I suppose they could be 6000 & 6001 instead of 6001 & 6002 and they could be New Flyers instead of Nova LFS. Will have to try and see them up-close in the daytime. Also, passed by the Albany garage yard this morning, all the Nova LFS's that had been stored back there are gone. Anybody have any information as to where they went and exactly when ? I saw them there last week, so it was sometime between then and this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autocar Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share #15 Posted December 29, 2015 Saw 4110H operating on a Schenectady Route, could be a loaner or transfer, not sure as of now. Also, have not seen the Artics out working either. Plus, all of the Nova LFS's that were in the rear of the Albany Garage are gone, destination unknown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autocar Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share #16 Posted January 4, 2016 Happy New Year to one and all. CDTA has 3 or 4 Nova LFS's now OOS out back, unable to get numbers today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autocar Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share #17 Posted March 3, 2016 For Anybody that is Interseted: Artic # 6000 is currently on the 1 line this morning, saw it heading towards Colonie Center about 10 minutes in the past. Also, CDTA has 2 buses numbered 4008H. The correct one is the 2007 Gillig in the I-Ride Blue scheme and is assigned to the Troy gararge, while the incorrect one is a 2010 Gillig and is painted in the Bus Plus Scheme and should be numbered 5508H and is assigned to Schenectady Garage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autocar Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share #18 Posted March 23, 2016 Low Floor Nova 9951 was being hooked up to the tow wagon this morning, appears as if it blew at least 1 if not both rear air bags. Wonder if it will be repaired or retired, guess time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autocar Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share #22 Posted June 6, 2016 4132 Might have been transferred to Schenectady, it was on the 355 yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autocar Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share #23 Posted October 19, 2016 It appears as if Troy is short on buses as Albany is contantly loaning them buses. Yesterday 9920 was on the 22 Route, while last week 9924 was there as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
