Honolulu,Hawai,USA -KITV -November 8, 2010: -- The City of Honolulu will be getting 24 new buses... The new, heavy-duty clean diesel buses will replace older models that will be retired from the city's fleet... The 40-foot-long buses are manufactured by Nova Bus, which is part of the Volvo Bus Corp. The buses cost more than $435,696 each... They are one of the lightest heavy-duty diesel buses made, which makes them more fuel efficient and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, city officials said. The buses will be used primarily on less-congested, long-haul routes... The city will continue to deploy hybrid diesel-electric buses in urban, congested routes, where they provide better fuel economy... Each bus can accommodate 39 seated and 31 standing passengers, city officials said...
