FLXIBLE 3001:

Flxible 3001 is marked "Special" and lays over on Telephone Road at Victoria Ave. on September 18, 2004. Service through the Montalvo area was reduced during reconstruction of the Santa Clara River bridge, so SCAT ran a shuttle loop to connect to through 6A and 6B buses. Before the shuttle was discontinued in late 2005, it also operated Orions and decommissioned SCAT Access vans.
