Now, all the Penn buses, along with the various shuttles, feature this design to make it easier to identify the Penn Transit vehicles. |

Penn Transit Services has rolled out a new look for its fleet of bus and shuttle vehicles. They introduced a contemporary red and blue design that crosses over the entire fleet, unifying the brand shown on the different types of vehicles that transport passengers to, from and around campus. This initiative brought together seven different designs formerly featured on Penn buses and shuttles.
“Passengers will now be able to easily identify the buses and shuttles operated by Penn Transit,” said Marie Witt, vice president of Business Services. “Whether you are taking an express shuttle to Pennovation Works from a Penn Transit Stop, using Accessible Transit or riding Penn Bus East or West, the vehicles will be clearly distinguishable from other transportation services.”
In conjunction with Penn Transit’s new look on campus, four additional buses have been added to the fleet. Each 40-passenger, low-floor vehicle is ADA compliant, with an accessible ramp and two wheelchair stations. The vehicles will keep pace with ridership demand along with the increasingly popular charter bus service Penn Transit offers to the University. A total of nine buses and 11 shuttles display the new red and blue motif.
The Penn Transit fleet continues to maintain its commitment to sustainable transportation. All Penn Buses are powered by bio-diesel. The bi-fuel cutaway shuttle vehicles can run on multiple fuel sources. The shuttle fleet primarily operates on propane supplied by Penn Transit Services’ maintenance facility.
