Budget estimate

$500,000 – $5,000,000

No contract value is disclosed, but municipal bus service contracts of this scale typically range from a few hundred thousand to several million dollars per year. Assuming a modest fleet and operational costs, a reasonable estimate would be between $500,000 and $5,000,000 total over the three‑year term. Factors influencing the range include number of buses, mileage, labor costs, fuel type, and service level requirements.
