Based on regional and federal guidelines, the regular service life of a transit bus is 12 years. Advances in technology and a continued focus on maintenance has made Metro Transit's fleet more reliable than ever. In 2014, buses traveled an average of 7,518 miles between maintenance road call. Metro Transit's buses are typically used for a year or two to provide service to the Minnesota State Fair and have more than 400,000 miles on their odometers by the time they are sold through public auction.
This figure is lower than the headline 7,900-mile figure for drivers, which applies to each vehicle, many of which are driven by more than one person. Each person on average walked 184 miles and travelled 288 miles by bus.
