We are so proud of our team for their work on Project Clean.
The program started in May & almost every bus has been through the program. These cleans typically take 6 hours for our team to complete and involves an extensive cleaning of the bus from top to bottom!

Thank you to the entire

team for all of your hard work and dedication in 2018. Buses would not go out on the road without you. Routes would not be improved without you. Customers would not be able to hop on a bus without you. A great team effort that will carry into 2019!

We’ve started testing electric buses on Hamilton streets. You may see a test bus trailing your regular HSR bus. We want to learn more about this technology and how it works in our community, so we can keep looking for ways to be green and clean.

As much as we like our 60-foot articulated buses, we left them sitting at the garage today and have only 40-foot buses on the road; 40-footers handle better on days like today. We want to get you where you need to go - safely.
