Chicago to Receive $9.6 Million for Hybrid Buses
Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO - U.S. Senator Dick Durbin says the city of Chicago will receive $9.6 million from the federal government to buy hybrid buses.
Durbin said Friday that the grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation will allow the Chicago Transportation Authority to buy about 13 more articulated diesel hybrid buses.
In March, the CTA announced plans to lease 150 hybrid buses at the cost of $13.4 million a year.
Hybrid buses burn less gas than conventional diesel buses.
