Can’t Park There! Wade Tour Bus Hits NYS Museum in Albany

A Wade Tour bus ended up in a precarious situation on Sunday, and we'd imagine the driver has some explaining to do, after reports that it somehow struck the New York State Museum in Albany.

Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident, which occurred at around 130 on Sunday. According to a Times Union report, the building was reopened after about an hour.

But many people, including an entire Reddit/Albany thread, discussed - with good reason - how this could happen

How Did this Happen?

It's a legit question.

The bus is facing the wrong side of the road. If the bus traveled down Madison Avenue, the entrance would be on the driver's right side.  Yet, the crash scene shows the bus stopped in the opposite direction, almost like the driver aggressively backed into the museum.

More than likely, the driver was probably trying to back up onto the sidewalk and may have gotten the vehicle's controls confused.  Either way, it's a good thing that no one was injured.

While some engaged Albany Redditors attempted to discuss how he struck the front of the museum, others took a more light-hearted approach while changing around the bus company's slogan: "We will not only get you there, we'll get you in the building! Our service is top notch!"
