Trans-Bridge Lines has taken delivery of four new MCI J4500 buses. The buses join the Trans-Bridge fleet for a total of 32 motorcoaches.
Three of the buses will be integrated into the company’s New York City line run service. Each of three white commuter buses, 481, 482, and 483, can comfortably accommodate up to 60 passengers and offers the bus industry’s largest interior floor, and best-in-class legroom for a pleasant passenger experience.
The fourth silver motorcoach will be utilized for the company’s Charter Division. The bus, 422, seats 56 passengers and made its debut during Musikfest 2024, transporting passengers to and from the popular music festival.
The buses’ Cummins X12 clean-diesel engines make the most of every gallon by integrating fuel-efficient technologies. Per passenger, the coaches offer lower emissions than any current hybrid car. This is a great example of what makes buses the most environmentally friendly form of public transportation.
“Trans-Bridge Lines is thrilled to welcome these new buses as part of our ongoing commitment to renew our fleet,” said Mark Ertel, Vice President of Operations. “These buses allow us to continue in providing the best possible service for our passengers, many of them loyal commuters.”
“It was great to also meet the manufacturer representatives from Motor Coach Industries,” stated Jerry Featherman, Fleet and Facilities Maintenance Manager. “We had the opportunity to ask questions about bus features and their knowledgeable team was very responsive. We look forward to maintaining our longstanding relationship with the MCI team.”
