For an upcoming trip to the area, i'm hitting up CT Transit during the PM Rush hour. For those who have been there, where are some decent places to photograph and where can I find the Nova Classics?

Thanks in Advance!

The Nova Classics are split between all three divisions. So its pretty much a pot luck hunt for those. There is only 49 of them throughout the whole state.

When I visited CT Transit territory in July, I had no problem finding the Classics in Stamford and New Haven during the midday hours, although there were obviously far more New Flyers out. On the other hand, I visited Hartford between 2:30 and 4:00 and did not see a single one.

Don’t forget the 35-foot Nova RTS buses running in Waterbury and New Britain.

There might still be a few Classics hanging around for SEAT (CT Transit owns all of SEAT's buses).

I visited New London and Norwich last spring and didn't see any.

There are plenty in Waterbury, but very few in New Britain (only Dattco's). New Britain Transportation uses mainly 1994 high-floor New Flyers that used to run in Hartford, plus some assorted oddball equipment.
