I'm a little behind on posting this, but for those who weren't aware:
METRO is rolling out 10 new hybrid buses, the first of 30 local buses to take to the streets of Houston. The rest of these environmentally-friendly buses are expected in May.
The 40-foot buses run on diesel and electricity, and are expected to post a fuel savings of 30 percent or more.
