Lansing Celebrates 10 Years of Hybrid Buses
The Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA), Lansing, MI, unveiled one of its seven newest hybrid buses at a Jan. 23 event that also marked the 10th anniversary of the agency’s introduction of hybrid buses—all from New Flyer. CATA Chief Executive Officer/Executive Director Sandy Draggoo contrasted one of the original 2006 buses, at left, with the 2016 New Flyer Xcelsior. “Over the past 10 years, the hybrid design has helped CATA maintain fuel consumption, despite an increase in services and service area. In other words, while we offer more service and cover more miles throughout our region, fuel consumption has not increased,” Draggoo said. The new buses increase CATA’s hybrid fleet to 60 vehicles.
