WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) – The Wausau City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to approve the purchase of two used buses from the city of Waukesha.
Transit director Matthew Rosenbloom-Jones says the purchases will go a long way in improving the city’s current fleet and spoke about receiving the approval from the council saying, “I think it demonstrates the Council’s strong support for continued investment in our public transit system and the value that metro ride brings to the community by providing transportation needs for those who don’t have a car or can’t drive.”
Rosenbloom-Jones further stated that these used buses will be an upgrade compared to older buses the city currently uses and will help lower the city’s maintenance costs and help provide more reliable service to the residents of the city.
The city will also be getting several used buses from Minnesota at no cost to continue upgrading the fleet, and they are expected to be added to circulation later this year.
