Bus Diversification
CityLink currently operates a fleet of 60 vehicles for service. That number includes 53 35-foot and four 40-foot diesel hybrid buses as well as three battery-electric 35-foot buses.
Ten of CityLink’s diesel buses have been part of a refurbishing process provided by Midwest Bus Corporation (midwestbus.com), located in Owosso, MI. Work on nine of the 10 35-foot buses has been completed, with the 10th bus expected to be finished in a few months.
The overhauled buses were originally manufactured between 2011 and 2013. The comprehensive mid-life rehabilitation project includes customary replacement of components that are not expected to last for the useful life of the bus, substitution of components that did not perform as expected, an upgrade of components where technology has improved since the buses were manufactured, and repairs to components that have been damaged through normal bus operations.
