NORTH ATTLEBORO - Warm up the bus! A new Big Red Bus will soon be making its way down the streets of town.
The former bus by that name had been sidelined for the last five years because it was beyond repair before it was designated as surplus equipment no longer useful to the town.
The money to replace the bus was approved by town councilors Monday night.
Town Manager Michael Borg asked the council to transfer $115,000 from free cash.
The money, along with $50,000 Representative Adam Scanlon had secured from the state will allow the town to pay for a replacement.
