My questions;
Who was driving it?
What are the costs of a low-sulfur bus versus a low-fuel hybrid bus?
Should we really be putting money into a low sulfur technology?, what about all of the other pollutants?
With the recent ranting of Nicollet Mall merchants for a quieter corridor, perhaps they should seriously look into hybrids. What is the cost for fuel? Could lower fuel costs balance out the cost of a hybridized fleet? I love the convenience of the bus, especially the #4 which normally passes by my house every 15 minutes, but the noise and exhaust are terrible. Would a quieter, more economical and environmentally sound fleet boost ridership? I know it would make spending time on the street and my front yard much more pleasant.
