Motor Coach Industries (MCI) announced the delivery of the J4500 coach to Sunset Luxury Limousine.
Sunset Luxury Limousine has provided professional limousine service across the Denver Metropolitan area for nearly 35 years.
The addition of the five new MCI coaches within the last eight months demonstrates Sunset Luxury Limousine’s commitment to providing luxury transportation solutions.

The Routing Company (TRC) celebrated the launch of the East Sussex County Council’s (ESCC) “flexibus” services powered by TRC’s Pingo platform and funded by the Department of Transport (DfT).
ESCC is the local authority serving the non-metropolitan and southern coastal county of East Sussex in the UK.
The new flexibus services will serve around 50,000 households in East Sussex that currently have either no or very low public transport provision.
The service, which deploys in ten on-demand transport zones, delivers on a 15-vehicle contract announced by TRC in April 2023. The contract is supported by the DfT’s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) funding and includes a two-year base agreement with an optional one-year extension, for a total of up to three years of provision.

LYT announced it has signed an agreement with the Salem Area Mass Transit District in the city of Salem, Oregon, to implement its Transit Signal Prioritization (TSP) system, LYT.transit, reducing traffic congestion and improving transit flow through 22 signalized intersections.
The Salem Area Mass Transit District, more commonly known as Cherriots, provides fixed-route, paratransit, regional, and rideshare services.
The TSP system will allow buses to communicate with Salem traffic signals and provide optimized green lights for buses running behind schedule.
Salem city and transit agency officials will also gain access to LYT’s Transit Insights Platform where they can gain insights about route performance over time.
The region’s fixed-route system finished out the year with a total of 373.5 million rides. Adding 12.3 million rides over 2024 represents an increase that is equal to the annual transit ridership of Kansas City.
