There are European models that look like busesI agree. There are some buses that differ over there. But from what I saw in London, Israel, and in the photos posted here from China, buses with designs similar to this one are all over the place. and have bus capacity NYCT is not evaluating the capacity of the bus. They would not buy 35 footers. They are likely just evaluating the hybrid system. Besides why would they test this hideous smaller contraption of a bus, with passenger loads, but never put that Van-Hool artic model out for the public to ride Because it seems Wachovia and/or the manufacturer are footing some part of the bill. Maybe all of it. And NYCT might want to see how the hybrid system works. But I highly highly highly doubt they are at all considering purchasing this exact bus model with that length and that width. I understand why so many people are throwing a hissy fit. It's human nature to do so, when change comes along. But this isn't change. They won't buy this model bus. And I highly doubt they'd buy any bus that looks like that. The most likely scenario is that they'd use this buses hybrid system, or one like it, in a bus with a more traditional body. |
