Metro launched its inaugural all-electric bus routes on September 2, 2024, marking a significant step towards a more sustainable public transportation system. The 402 Bellaire Quickline to the Medical Center and the 28-Old Spanish Trail-Wayside line now operate entirely with electric buses. According to Metro's spokesman, the choice of these routes was strategic due to their length, allowing for more efficient use of electric vehicles. The new buses feature enhanced amenities such as increased wheelchair accessibility and USB charging ports for passenger convenience. Additionally, Metro plans to introduce 14 hydrogen fuel cell electric buses in the future, demonstrating a forward-looking approach to clean energy technologies. As Metro transitions to a more environmentally friendly fleet, the organization is also focusing on establishing charging infrastructure to support the expanding electric bus network. This initiative represents Metro's commitment to sustainability, innovation, and providing a modernized public transportation experience for the community.
