03/29/10 Thanks Obama! New stimulus-funded buses coming to Greenwich

In about four months, Greenwich residents will see 13 60-foot stimulus-financed buses that replace aging coaches, meet tighter emission regulations and increase capacity on the Post Road.

The buses can carry up to 62 passengers, compared with 44 on the older buses, which date to 1996.

The buses should reduce overcrowding during morning and evening rush.

The buses are part of a fleet of more than 135 new buses purchased with a $70 million chunk of the state's federal transit stimulus funds.

Govorner Jody Rell seemed to support the Aministration's stimulus package when she was quoted saying,"Connecticut is taking full advantage of the stimulus to get our economy on the move."
