NJ Transit to purchase Hybrid Over The Road Coaches. |

Posted by Flxible4life on Tue Jul 24 17:12:24 2012 I've just received a news letter from Metro Magazine about the FTA awarding $787 million in grants. NJ Transit was one of the TAs to received federal grant money to purchase hybrid cruiser buses. For more information about this story and TAs across the country receiving this money for transit projects, such as, new buses, bus facilities, BRT ect. Go to Metro Magazine.Here's the scoop: At $27,260,000 million dollars. NJ Transit will purchase new hybrid cruiser buses to replace diesel buses that have met or exceeded their useful lives. The new hybrid buses will be over-the-road coaches that operate routes originating in southern New Jersey to and from New York City. I think MCI might be awarded with this contract, but who knows nowadays with the head honchos on NJT. Remember they still have that order of CNG cruisers with DesignLine. Hey, what gives? What's taking DesignLine so long to build a CNG bus? Hmmmmm, should've went to MCI I suppose. Peace everyone! |
