Metro showed off its 10 new ORBT buses to news media and transportation advocates last week.

Omaha Rapid Bus Transit is a new service that will launch this fall and connect the Old Market to Westroads Mall via an express bus that makes frequent stops along the Dodge Street corridor. Stations are currently under construction.
