New Buses and Newer Trolleys Are Heading For Metropolis.

Metropolis, BR. March 26th, 2015.

First of New 60 Foot Buses for Metropolis Transit

Metropolis Transit accepted a new bus into it's fleet on Tuesday after completing a mandatory 200 Mile test run to see if any engine or door defects are detected. When the demo arrived last fast, it suffered from a brake defect that sent it back to Solaris/New Flyer's Portland Plant. Now ready for service, the bus was transferred from Justin Slaven Depot to Ran Mourie Depot and will go into service along the 74 Ocean Avenue Line. As more units are delivered they will go into testing for their 200 miles joyrides until they're ready for service as well. 

DashTransit's new trolleys will look similar to one's they're borrowing from Metropolis Transit. 

As Metropolis Transit's order for brand new Siemens S70 trolley cars come to end, there's now time to work on the 20 newer S70 trolley cars that were purchased by Metropolis Transit as an option. These trolleys however are not going on Metropolis Transit's rails. They will however serve DashTransit's Metropolis Connector. The Blue & Light Blue Loop will move their trolley operations away from Ran Mourie Depot in Bay of Silence to the rebuilt House Park Depot that DashTransit now owns. The vintage trolleys being used on the Red Loop will go back to their respective museums. DashTransit is also study bringing light rail service along the south shore of the Byberry River to Sydney from Portland. This however is a few years in making and will probably not have the same trolley cars as the Connector.
