Centro unleashes hybrid buses

Centro will unveil a new fleet of hybrid buses to the Syracuse area today with a parade through the city’s streets, according to a Centro press release.

The buses will embark from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s Campus Drive at 9 a.m. and are scheduled to break through a banner downtown in Clinton Square 30 minutes later, the release stated.

Following the arrival to Clinton Square, a brief ceremony will take place where Mayor Matthew Driscoll and County Executive Nicholas Pirro will name today as ‘Centro-SUNY ESF Green Day,’ according to the release.

The day’s procession marks Centro’s commitment to greener bus technology, since the hybrids are more fuel efficient and quieter, the release stated.
