The new all-electric Rapid Route 227 will have fewer stops, decreased travel times and will be free from Oct. 15-31San Diego Metropolitan Transit System cut the ribbon Friday on its new all-electric bus route through San Diego County’s South Bay communities. Twelve new electric buses will transport upwards of 5,000 people every day on the new Rapid Route 227 between the Otay Mesa Port of Entry and Imperial Beach.
The new electric buses have no emissions. That’s better than the low emissions of their compressed natural gas predecessors. That’s important in communities like Otay Mesa. An MTS spokesman said 20 out of roughly 750 of the buses in the MTS fleet are electric. He said MTS has until 2040 to make all of them electric. That’s an expensive transition.
