The newest addition to the Metropolitan Transit System’s fleet of 576 buses.

From the NABI manufacturing site in Anniston, Alabama.

The NABI 60’ BRT vehicle is a streamlined 60-foot bus with rail-like styling.

The bus features modern, air-actuated disc brakes, wide doors for fast, easy boarding and alighting and a wheelchair ramp at the entry doorway.

The new NABI bus seats up to 57 passengers and two people in wheelchairs.

The bus is powered by a clean, economical Cummins ISLG Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engine; and is equipped with a Thermo King air conditioner and air-actuated disc brakes.

MTS purchased the 26 new buses at a cost $20.4 million, paid for from Federal and State Prop 1B funds.

MTS plans to deploy the buses on busy routes, like 7, 15, 20, 30, and 150.

Because of the purchase, MTS plans to retire 25 articulated buses that were purchased in 1993 and which have a total of 12.5 million miles.
