By implementing these 60-foot articulated buses, more customers can be accommodated in one vehicle thereby significantly increasing service without adding more vehicles to already crowded city streets. “We will be looking to use more of these new state-of-the-art articulated buses as they are delivered, putting them on popular bus routes so that more of our customers can benefit from our modern new fleet.”Īs NYC Transit continues to modernize its bus fleet, it is increasingly adding vehicles with longer buses equipped with better technology and customer-facing amenities on high-ridership routes that travel on streets that accommodate larger vehicles. “We are more nimble and responsive with the way we manage our bus operations and use new fleet technology, which results in better and cost-efficient service for our customers,” said Craig Cipriano, acting president of MTA Bus Company and senior vice president of New York City Transit’s Department of Buses. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) plans to enhance service on five bus routes, benefitting a total of 65,000 customers to ensure ridership demand is met and to operate citywide bus service more cost-efficiently and effectively while netting annual savings of $2.1 million.
