Take a ride on the electric bus. In an effort for a more clean and environmentally friendly transportation option, VIA Metropolitan Transit rolled out four new ARC electric buses throughout the city.
The shiny new set of wheels features 150 miles of range as well as regenerative braking, and a 12-bay charging station where its buses can fully charge in four hours.
VIA’s also upgraded the vehicles interiors:
- Ambient and dimmable LED lighting
- Fresh seat designs for 38 passengers
- USB type B ports. Sorry, no USB-C here folks.
- On board security cameras
- Colored destination sign
- The addition of a rear-view camera for the driver
Riders can catch the new wheels on the following routes:
- Route 2 Blanco Frequent
- Route 34 South St. Mary’s Frequent
- Route 44 Pleasanton
- Route 14 Perrin Beitel Skip
