The Metropolitan Transit System finalized an agreement Wednesday with the city of Mendoza, Argentina, to donate as many as 39 older trolleys that began operating in San Diego in 1995, a move that will clear room for the newest generation of light rail vehicles for MTS.
"As MTS modernizes its trolley fleet, we are very glad to see our older models continue to be put to use, serving the people of Mendoza to carry residents to work, school and other activities, just like they've been doing in San Diego for almost 30 years," said Sharon Cooney, MTS CEO."I'd like to personally thank our friends from the city of Mendoza for this partnership.
"The exceptional condition of our trolleys is a testament to the excellent work of our maintenance workers, technicians and trolley operators," said Wayne Terry, MTS Chief Operating Officer, Rail Division."Donating these light rail vehicles to Mendoza benefits the city's economy and residents. It will also cost MTS zero dollars to execute. It is a win-win for both transportation agencies.
