Starting Monday, Greater Long Beach bus passengers will see some new changes to the way they travel when Long Beach Transit rolls out 25 new 40-foot-long Hybrid Gasoline-Electric buses next week.
The new eco-friendly coaches - which was introduced by Mayor Bob Foster and LB Transit CEO/president Larry Jackson earlier today - will reduce carbon dioxide by 13 percent and carbon monoxide by 68 percent per coach when compared to a diesel bus, according to Long Beach Transit.
These buses will be part of Long Beach Transit's 98-mile service area, which incluses Long Beach, Lakewood and Signal Hill and parts of Artesia, Bellflower, Carson, Cerritos, Compton, Hawaiian Gardens, Norwalk, Paramount and Seal Beach.
Read more about these new buses in tomorrow's Press-Telegram.
