Metro is the first system in Wisconsin to add hybrid electric powered buses to its fleet. Fourteen additional hybrids have been added so that now 10% of Metro's buses are now hybrids.

What is a hybrid bus?

Hybrid bus motors act like generators. Through a process called "regenerative braking", energy created while a bus slows or stops is converted to stored electric energy.

Forty percent of the energy to accelerate the bus is actually
energy saved during the braking process.

Metro currently estimates that hybrid buses get 20 - 30%
better gas mileage than regular diesel buses and reduce exhaust emissions by 90%.
