W.Va. city to get hybrid buses

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — The Tri-State Transit Authority plans to have a greener fleet by the end of the year, with the arrival of three diesel-electric hybrid buses.

General Manager Paul Davis says the buses should be delivered from California in November and on the road shortly after.

The hybrids are among 14 new buses purchased for the fleet. The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection provided funding that allowed the authority to buy the hybrids. Each of those buses costs $530,000.

The authority provides bus service in the Huntington and Ironton, Ohio areas, with limited service in Kentucky.
