As of this summer, CDTA will have it's fleet:

  • 6 30-foot hybrid buses (31xxH Gillig series w/ sideways seats)
  • 38 40-foot hybrid buses (41xxH Gillig buses)

About 3/4th of them will be operating out of the Albany Depot.

They have a fleet of 174 conventional non-hybrid buses remaining, with about 20 of the 1996-1998 Orion buses being either sold to Binghamton Trasit or scrapped (those damaged by fires or otherwise totaled).

That means 25.2% of fleet is diesel-electric hybrid. Not all of the 20 new hybrids that they are expecting delivery this year are on the road, although at least 4 or 5 of them already are as I've seen them around.

Here is the list from the Subchat Bulletin board:

Who would have thought that there are message boards of people talking about bus deliveries?
