May Davis, KU on Wheels transportation coordinator, said KU On Wheels had bought five 35-foot-long buses that are supposed to arrive later this month. The 35-foot-long buses will be used for routes with lower ridership and tighter turns.
She said this year’s new 40-foot-long buses were necessary to provide more space because of high ridership. According to Davis, KU on Wheels will also need the longer buses for more room if the University moves to unlimited access instead of the $1 fee or bus pass system. Davis also said KU on Wheels would buy even more new buses for fall 2008.
