The AC Transit Board of Directors will consider a resolution on Wednesday that could spell the end of the agency’s controversial partnership with Belgian bus-maker, Van Hool.

According to the Berkeley Daily Planet, the board’s three member Finance and Audit Committee approved the resolution last week.
