Its final objective is the <strong>total electrification of public transportation by the year 2040<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The renewal of the fleet will enable it to cover Santiago\u2019s most important bus route and also allows for a change of operator, since the new BYD buses operated by Metbus replace 20% of the fleet from the Colombian operator Express, who did not obtain its contract renewal for this part of the city.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sustainable-bus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ENC_8005.jpg\" alt=\"byd metbus\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" \/>\n<h2>BYD buses for Metbus<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThis process of continuously improving public transportation is a direct benefit for the people. Since last year, the gradual increase in the circulation of high-standard buses in Greater Santiago has improved the service quality as well as feedback from users of the city\u2019s public transit system. We will continue to incorporate more changes in this direction with the next tenders and with the extension of the network to other cities\u201d, highlighted the Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications, <strong>Gloria Hutt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This new fleet of 150 BYD electric buses will bring citizens more quality trips while improving Santiago\u2019s air quality,\u201d said <strong>Tamara Berr\u00edos<\/strong>, Country Manager of BYD Chile. \u201cThe Alameda project is of great importance due to its visibility as the transformation of the capital\u2019s central avenue. We are convinced that it is necessary to continue promoting the transformation of public transport through electromobility, and BYD will continue to advance in this way.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 27th has been the day of the incorporation into Santiago de Chile public transport system for 150 new BYD electric buses.
