Santa Monica is making a major investment in electrifying its fleet of Big Blue Buses.
The city is spending $56 million to buy 73 battery powered buses, and more than half of that money will pay for chargers to power the buses.
Last year saw more than 10 million people get on and off Big Blue Buses, as ridership has nearly recovered from the pandemic four years ago.
