Five Additional Buses Added to the Orange and Purple Routes
To stabilize the operations of the Orange and Purple routes,
and to return to and maintain the promised 10 minute
headway, the DOT is leasing 5 Van Hool low floor transit
buses on a short term basis. These buses will be added to
the Charm City Circulator fleet and will be put into service
only as required in the event of breakdown or unavailability
of the Eco Saver IV buses. Although these vehicles are not
hybrid, they burn diesel fuel cleanly, and their carbon
footprint is only a fraction of that found on other diesel
buses
East Side Shuttle Launched January 3
This free, non-hybrid, shuttle service is available to
everyone. With two convenient routes, this shuttle will
service portions of the upcoming Green Route. For stop
locations and hours of operation, visit
www.charmcitycirculator.com.
