Albany CDTA (July 2019)
Posted by GojiMet86 on Fri Jun 28 16:10:07 2019 Albany has a large Gillig fleet. Most of them are diesels, some are hybrids, and BusPlus uses the BRT-style Gilligs. There are also some Xcelsior XD60, most of them local (in the 6000s) and one for BusPlus (5518). There are some MCIs, but I missed one by a couple of minutes. Yankee Trails has its own fleet, I guess they also do commuter service. I spotted no LFS, which are being retired, though I did see them last time I went up.

If you want to photo the MCI fleet, they lay up midday in the Macy's north side parking lot at Crossgates Mall:

Then came the restyle (smiley) front with our hybrids.Now all you see from New Flyer Is the Xcelsior model. The Albany pictures in the OP made me think how dominate the Xcelsior model is many agencies.
