CARTA expects to receive its first three BYD electric transit buses in mid-April, Executive Director Lisa Maragnano.
She said, "They have been getting wonderful reviews in Macon, where they are operating for 8-9 hours off an overnight charge."
CARTA has funding available for a second order of three electric buses, she said.
Ms. Maragnano said CARTA applied for an additional three BYD buses (making a total of nine), but the funding was not approved.
