Augusta, GA (WJBF) – Augusta Transit is testing another electric bus company this week, and today is the last day the public can try it out for free.

The company demonstrating its bus this week is GILLIG. They have electric buses in more than 50 cities nationwide.

The buses are powered by rechargeable battery and are zero emission– meaning they lower the carbon foot print. They are much quieter than a diesel bus too – reducing noise pollution.
