Athens-Clarke County Transit unveils hybrid electric buses

Athens-Clarke County Transit is set to host a dedication ceremony for 12 new low emission diesel hybrid electric buses Friday, Feb. 23 at 1 p.m. at the Multimodal Transportation Center on Hickory Street Extension. Parking for the ceremony will be available at the Classic Center Parking Deck. These buses are the first hybrid buses in the ACC Transit fleet and were purchased with a combination of local, state and federal funds for $8.4 million. The Athens-Clarke County Unified Government says these new buses will replace 12 older buses that had "exceeded their useful life span and were experiencing increased operating and maintenance costs."
