Hybrid buses begin service in New Castle transit fleet
New Castle Transit Authority placed five hybrid buses on the road two weeks ago at about 3.1 million dollars total funding. Federal TIGER grants cover 2.48 million and a 621,083 state match financed the purchase from Gillig Corp. in California. Authorities plan five more buses in about 18 months as battery compartments mark the difference.
