Izzy's Buses

**Izzy's Buses** is a group of bus companies servicing Gooperland and other countries. It is listed in Gooperland Stock Exchange (GSE: 8960-8961). The company's logo is Izzy (the Pirate) dressing as a Juliet Gnome (from Gnomeo and Juliet) ringing the bell, inside a red doughnut shape with the text "IZZY'S BUSES - MCMXXXIX". (MCMXXXIX is 1939 in Roman numerals). It is a subsidiary of Kowloon Motor Bus. Initially, route numbers were initially shown in Roman numerals (Route 33 is XXXIII), but in 1974 they were switched to Arabic numerals.

In Gooperland, the fleet has a mix of single-decker, articulated and double-decker buses. (The company introduced its first double-decker bus in 1959.) For double-decker buses, they are built between 4.1 to 4.4 metres tall like in Hong Kong and the size numbers 21, 22, 23 and 24 were used to describe this.

The official livery is a vintage KMB livery, with variants including Daimler liveries and Albion 23 livery. Previously, Brisbane Transport's livery was the official, and other previous liveries include the blue and the dark red livery.

#### Weights used in calculation

The following is the weight factor for each position of vertical identification number (VIN).

### Workaround example

#### 10000AVK00281A5CP6\_03042018391V570DE

First, multiply the number by weight:

Then, add the numbers, 19+0+0+0+0+14+91+12+0+0+18+64+7+6+25+12+18+12+0+9+0+20+12+0+8+72+30+99+12+91+98+75+0+68+90 = 982.

Find the remainder after dividing by 19.

982 MOD 19 = 13 or 982 ÷ 19 = 51.68

The remainder is the check digit. If the remainder is above 9, then the letters are used:

* 10 = X
* 11 = A
* 12 = B
* 13 = C
* 14 = D
* 15 = E
* 16 = F
* 17 = G
* 18 = H

The result is 13, so *C* is used: 10000AVK00281A5CP6**C**03042018391V570DE.

### in Liftland

The vertical identification number used in Izzy's Buses of Liftland is different. The format is: *SSLLFFFFFFMMDDYY-RRRRCK*, where *SS* is the size number, *LL* is the length of the bus in feet, *FFFFFF* is the fleet number, *MMDDYY* is the delivery date, *RRRR* is the 4 random numbers (0 to 9), *C* is the checksum digit and *K* is the number of axles (2 or 3). To calculate the check digit, odd numbers have to be add up and multiplied by 3, and even numbers are summed up. The checksum digit is calculated with modulo 20, in the sequence of characters [0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9].

The YY corresponds to the year:

* A0-A9: 1940-1949
* B0-B9: 1950-1959
* C0-C9: 1960-1969
* D0-D9: 1970-1979
* E0-E9: 1980-1989
* F0-F9: 1990-1999
* G0-G9: 2000-2009
* H0-H9: 2010-2019
* K0-K9: 2020-2029
* L0-L9: 2030-2039
