Posted by MainR3664 on Thu Apr 11 14:37:23 2013, in response to MTA NYC Transit testing Complete Coach Works' 96 New Flyer ZEPS demo bus in Manhattan, posted by Gold_12th on Tue Apr 9 18:22:33 2013. This has a familiar ring to it...didn't they try something like this already within the past 5 -7 years ago?Also, just as there were battery trolleys in the old days, this might be workable on short routes, like the M8 or M9 short supplements. But I don't see this working on super-long routes, like the S78 or Q44..or even intermediate lengths. Also, would a fleet partially composed of battery vehicles really be "greener" than low sulfur diesel/hybrid power? Denver uses battery vehicles on 16th Street, no? |
