Back of Photo:
The 60-foot, $430,000 Italian-made bending bus enters the Pioneer Square Station area as it makes its way successfully through Metro's downtown Seattle bus tunnel. Metro invited the news media along for a bus ride through their new bus tunnel to prove that their new Dual-power buses could fit. Joe Siesling, 22 years with Metro, drove the bus through the tunnel and mentioned there was lots of room, three foot of clearance on each side of the bus. Metro has ordered 236 of the dual-powered buses and when they are all in service, they will replace 40% of the buses operating on the streets.
