ALBANY — The Harmonious Grand Tours bus that is operating at least some of the Double Happyness schedule between Albany and New York City is certified to operate, according to federal safety data. Information from Safer Web (http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx) shows the company, based in Philadelphia, has two buses and three drivers, and that it has had no accidents or injuries in the past two years.

It does have a "conditional" rating, which means inspectors found one or more violations.

Those violations involve fatigued drivers and vehicle maintenance, according to the records.

It's not clear whether Harmonious or other companies may have been hired to take over the Double Happyness routes. A woman at the Double Happyness office in New York City on Friday afternoon said that company's buses had indeed stopped operating.

The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on Thursday obtained a temporary restraining order in federal court to stop Double Happyness operations, citing safety violations at the Huntingdon Valley, Pa.-based carrier.

The administration in late December first attempted to shut down the carrier, citing numerous safety violations.

It sought the court order when regulators said evidence emerged that Double Happyness continued to sell tickets and to operate buses.

Meanwhile, a woman at the phone number listed on the Harmonious Grand Tour DOT inspection form on Friday said that the phone number was her private number and that she didn't have any connection to the bus company.
