North Shore Gets Emission Control Diesel Buses

Today the MBTA rolled out new Emission Control Diesel buses in the North Shore. The 70 new buses (23 in service now; more to come at the rate of 5 buses per week) will run 24 bus routes departing from the Lynn Garage. The routes serve about 26,000 customers per day in 12 North Shore communities: Beverly, Chelsea, Danvers, Lynn, Malden, Marblehead, Peabody, Revere, Salem, Saugus, Swampscott, and Wakefield. MBTA General Manager Dan Grabauskas said that 80% of the North Shore bus fleet will be brand new once the rollout of new buses is complete. There are also 20 new buses coming to Cabot Garage in South Boston.
