Quoting newsday.com of 4.16.2007
(At a meeting at MTA headquarters:)
Also at the meeting, Long Island Bus President Neil Yellin said his agency has applied for $12 million in federal grants to buy some 40 new buses over the next two years.
------
That comes out to $300,000 each. When the senator was Alfonse, LI Bus got some healthy cash from the feds. I wonder how successful the request will be this time.

Hopefully he gets it. I remember someone posted here that he was looking into express service now that the HOV lane has been completed. Hopefully that will happen with this new purchase(if it happens). Also, hopefully some routes will get better service.
