The Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) has announced that it is continuing to expand and improve its fleet of buses, with the addition of 10 new cleaner diesel-engine coaches to its fleet. This is in addition to 28 new coaches that had been added in August 2022.
In addition, a delivery of 10 more new coaches is expected in spring 2023, which will complete DDOT’s fleet replacement of more than 150 new coaches since the conversion began in 2016.
The continued addition of newer buses to the DDOT fleet means that it is the transit system’s youngest and most environmentally friendly fleet to date. The new coaches that have been added will allow for the decommissioning of 10 more of the older green and yellow coaches from 2010, which are among the department’s oldest buses still in active service.
