Better Late than never right?

SIX NEW BUSES TO GO INTO SERVICE ON TUESDAY

This coming Tuesday, TriMet will be putting 6 new buses into service. The new buses, referred to and numbered the 3100-series, are more fuel and emissions efficient and include operator and rider improvements. TriMet will take delivery of three to five buses per week from Gillig, the manufacturer. The buses will be distributed between Merlo and Center St garages. By this fall TriMet will have 70 3100’s in service. Improvements include passenger seat modifications, ramp modifications for mobility devices, new ramp deployment warning lights, improvements to the onboard cameras and changes to signage. Operators will also notice modifications to the operator seat, including the ability to adjust the front of the seat cushion for varying degrees of thigh support or comfort.
