CTA Will Buy Up to 600 Clean-Diesel Buses
The Chicago Transit Board approved the purchase of up to 600 new, 40-foot clean-diesel buses from Nova Bus. These buses will help the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), the second-largest public transportation system in the U.S., in its ongoing effort to modernize its fleet to benefit customers and reduce maintenance costs.
This decision allows for the purchase of at least 100 buses and options to purchase an additional 500 clean-diesel buses, which will enable CTA to maintain safe and reliable service while gradually retiring the oldest buses in its fleet. The CTA expects first prototypes in the coming months, with deliveries beginning in early 2022.
“We are proud to continue providing transportation to our long-time partner, the City of Chicago, with our industry-leading LFS buses offering high capacity mobility solutions,” said Martin Larose, VP and general manager at Montreal-based Nova Bus.
