CTTransit on Tuesday unveiled its 10 new, larger capacity hybrid buses, two of which will begin Hartford runs Wednesday.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation and Department of Energy & Environmental Protection previewed the new 60-foot articulated buses. The 57-seat hybrid-electric buses have a flexible connector linking the front and rear units.
The buses each cost $813,100, with the purchase fully funded through federal grants, said Philip Fry, CTTransit spokesman.
Two of the buses will begin service Wednesday in the transit district’s Hartford Division. The remaining eight will be rolled out throughout the year.
