Sun Metro announces the installation of a new Solar Lighting System for bus stops. The Solar Lighting System was created to provide illumination to poorly lit bus stops in the El Paso area. 

Thirteen solar lighting units have been installed across the city. They are located at the following stops:

Montana at Airway                                   Diana at Hondo Pass

(south east side of intersection)             (north west side of intersection)

Myrtle at Eucalyptus                                 Montana at Boone

Leticia at Montana near Marquis              Dyer at Fort

Trowbridge at Chelsea

These solar units will provide illumination in areas with little to no lighting as well as offer a better sense of security; and improve visibility, aid in the prevention of a bus passing up riders. 

Each solar lighting unit contains solar powered LED lights that are clear white in color. The lighting component will provide consistent lighting for up to 12 hours and will illuminate the waiting area using a power of six Lumens.
