ColumBUS Transit plans to debut a new design Friday on four newly purchased buses.
The 29-foot 2018 Gillig buses, outfitted with the Dancing C’s design, were showcased outside Columbus City Hall on Tuesday. They will replace four older buses in the transit department’s fleet.
“Hopefully with the paint scheme, people will notice them again,” said Bryan Burton, the city’s public works director.
To celebrate the unveiling, the public will get an opportunity to ride city transit buses for free from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday.
The 26-passenger-seat buses are powered by Cummins diesel engines and have two accessible seating areas for individuals who use wheelchairs, Burton said.
