New VIA electric buses available for the first time

In an effort for cleaner and greener transit options, VIA Transit has introduced electric buses for the first time in San Antonio. The eight buses in the new fleet were designed and manufactured in California through a federal grant. VIA received them in December of last year and will have two of them in service for the public to use starting on Monday for test runs. They'll operate on four routes and hold up to 38 passengers each.
