Benefits
The RTC Family Is Growing—By Getting Smaller!
RTC has added 64 hybrid midibuses to its fleet to diversify its offer and better meet the varied needs of its customers. This approach is part of the 2018–2027 Strategic Plan, which aims to transform public transit to make it more efficient, effective, and accessible. The midibuses are the same color as our standard buses and are all equipped with Nomade and OPUS systems.
