Fleet
Intercity Transit operates 68 coaches, 33 Dial-A-Lift vans, and 221 vanpool vans. Intercity Transit purchased six new hybrid electric buses in 2010, and is one of the first transportation systems in the country to use an all-biodiesel fleet.
Sixty-six of Intercity Transit's coaches are Gillig Low Floor buses, while two are Gillig Phantom buses. They are equipped with:
- Kneeling equipment to lower the door opening to curb level for easy boarding.
- Automatic stop announcement equipment, which announces the next stop on the bus public address system and an electronic sign on the ceiling at the front of the bus.
- Surveillance cameras
- Two wheelchair parking spaces
- Cushioned seats with purple, blue, and grey fabric.
- Destination signs on the front of the bus exterior, which display the route number and stop on an LED panel or a flip-disc display.

Famous quotes containing the word fleet:
“On the middle of that quiet floor
sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”

Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
