On a typical weekday, a transit bus idles for an average of 3.7 of the 9 hours that the bus is in operation. The analysis of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s Fleet DNA data included

415 conventional heavy-duty vehicles with over 120,000 hours of operation from 36 states. Combination-unit long-haul trucks had the next highest average idling times, but the highest average extended idling times, which are greater than one hour of continuous idling. Refuse trucks averaged 5.

2 hours per day in operation, but idled for 48% of that time.Idle is when a vehicle’s wheel speed is less than 1 mph and engine speed is greater than 0 rpm. Idling does not include additional “hoteling” activity from devices such as auxiliary power units, auxiliary battery power, auxiliary heating units, and other engine-off hoteling operations.Extended idle is an idling session greater than one hour.

Hello, your service, brother, 5 beautiful bitcoins for us to spend this Christmas ..

$PTRA is building electrical buses and battery packs in the USA. And increasing production. There more cost effective than diesel or CNG busses. They even make the energy system for Daimler’s school busses.

US Transit Buses Idle for 3.7 hours out of 9 hour per day! Does this mean that passengers should now be running to catch the moving bus and then jump off so the bus doesn't have to stop and wait for them?

I noticed a lot of those smoke.

Hi, I am a structural engineer from Iran who have many ideas. I have summarized some of my ideas on my page. I want to work with companies and investors. Do you want to cooperate?

That IS EXACTLY why Electric is best and seconds would be the hybrids that stall on stop. We had two Priuses and now have a C-Max Energi Hybrid and it is great. Priuses were average 46 mpg and the Ford is 40 mph. Nice car.

Make ‘em electric and charge during that time

We need to fully electrify public transit 🚌⚡️✨

Tesla Robobuses 💡 Would save cities massive amounts of money.

I don’t know why this is do important am I missing something

For all those who say things need to change, maybe you should look to the example Kansas City International Airport is setting. All of their shuttle buses are electric. Made by Build Your Dreams and are K7M style passenger buses.

Hours of pollution. All buses need to be EVs by 2025.

Time to replace these antiquated public transportation systems.

I'm building the world's largest digital e-commerce platform. Develop tokens for 50 million businesses worldwide. our website can buy sell tokens, we will be amazon and NASDAQ combined. can you could invest $20 million in ? will Giving you 20% would bring you $100 billion

And for an engine, idling is just about the worst condition to run in wrt pollution

You should see (smell) the refrigerated trucks in front of restaurants or, more likely, hiding their polluting exhaust in an alley as they idle their cold load 🧊 🐟 🚚 Talk about an “ICE” truck,,

Wow that's a lot

New Tesla Bus coming soon? 👀 elonmusk

GROSS.

I did not know it was that much. All the more reason to go electric.

We need to electrify the system, plug-in hybrids do not count
