Cold Lake Could Purchase Calgary Buses

The City of Cold Lake has turned to Calgary in its search for buses for its planned transit system. The city is considering buying six used 40-passenger buses from Calgary Transit to comprise its transit system – to launch later this year. The cost of the buses will come in at a fraction of the $200,000 capital budget allowance to purchase just two buses for the start of a transit system. Cold Lake’s Chief Operating Officer Kevin Nagoya says that six buses are more than the city needs, but that a fleet that size offers flexibility in the level of service the city can provide.
