NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Some new buses are charging ahead on the streets of New York. New York City Transit said the buses will be in areas with poor air quality.
Diesel-powered buses currently run on most of the 300 routes. Sixty new electric buses are ready to roll from the Maspeth depot.
Sunil Nair is the NYC Transit Vice President of Bus Technology and Clean Energy.
"It's definitely going to change the air quality across multiple depots and multiple routes," Nair said.
