The CTA will test the performance of the buses over the next couple months.
The electric buses will travel the busy route #66, along Chicago Avenue between Navy Pier and Austin Boulevard.
The CTA said the buses feature a quiet ride, and clean air emissions, and will help reduce the agency’s fuel costs.
