Officials say it will help support increasing ridership on the transit system.
“There is a great need for us to increase reliability by replacing older buses and improve accessibility with more low-floor buses,” says Calgary Transit Director Doug Morgan.
He says the new buses are more environmentally friendly than Calgary Transit’s old diesel buses.
Calgary Transit currently has 1,100 buses in its bus fleet.
