Tempe retiring some aging buses, introducing hybrid-electric buses on several routes: "TEMPE, AZ - This month, 17 hybrid-electric buses will be introduced on several Tempe routes, according to the City of Tempe.

The new 60-foot, hybrid-electric buses are environmentally-friendly, and Tempe said they will save money in fuel and maintenance costs.

The new buses will replace older buses that have gone beyond their "useful life" of 500,000 or 12 years. "
