The major route they have is the S1 which primarily get the 35 or 40 foot Gilligs(it makes the most money for EBT. The other routes 1A,1B,S20 and S31 don't).Someone try to get a pic of those new buses. |

Here's the pics I promised.     These buses are very late. They are part of NY State consortium order for hybrids. There's only going to be 5 of them and will operate exclusively on the S1. |

If you look at the schedule for the S1, i'm thinking 5 buses assigned to the S1 is standard during middays with extra buses assigned during rush hours. On Saturdays, there are only 3 buses assigned to the line. I got to make a trip there soon to see these buses in service. |
