Posted by TruckerJohnT on Thu May 8 18:15:12 2008, in response to Re: PHOTOS: CDTA Albany New York Buses, posted by Scrabbleship on Thu May 8 12:42:00 2008. The 3000 series Nova's were delivered at 0001 to 0011 and 0021-0030. After their Computer Fueling system refused to allow them to fuel the buses, the confusion committee met to work out a plan to correct this. After several sleepless nights, they decided to renumber the buses into the 3000 series. Low and behold, they decided only to scrape off the 0 and replace it with a 3, and you guessed it, the 3 was a different color and size. The roof numbers were completely the wrong color and shorter in size, but hey, they saved $10 per bus this way! LOL.Bus 2000 was tested with Twin Vision Signs a few years ago, but, the confusion committee decided that blind patrons have a hard time seeing the signs so back to curtin signs! LOL. The confusion Committee meets on a regular basis just to screw things up. Take for example the #5 Bus. At one time there was 3 #5 routes. There was the #5 Albany-Schenectady, the #5 Northern Blvd. and the #5 Troy-5th Ave.. So if a passenger needed to get information on how to get somewhere, they were simply told to take the #5 Bus.
