The Toronto Transit Commission will receive its first batch of 336 new hybrid-electric buses this month. The additional buses will enter service starting in May and add “significant capacity” to the existing fleet, the commission says.
“Hybrid-electric buses offer residents and visitors a clean, quiet, and healthy alternative to travel around our city,” said Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie in a Wednesday TTC press release. They are powered by an electric motor and onboard battery system, though they are still equipped with a gas generator that produces electricity when needed.
“[It also] reduces diesel cost by $6,864,300 annually. Over the 13-year life of these buses, that’s a savings estimated, conservatively, at over one hundred million dollars.”They will gradually be entered into service following the necessary inspections and testing, and are expected to be fully incorporated into the fleet by early next year.
new flyer xde40/60 buses? no fucking thanks💀
And they'll sit unused with the rest of the spares which are at an all-time high because there aren't enough drivers and money to pay them.
Thank God
You'll get stabbed to death, own nothing and be happy.
I hope this will not increase the price for passengers Only manufacturers and TTC will eventually be the only beneficiaries!!!
And ridership is down by how much🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah? OK! But...are they going to be safe to ride or do I need to be bleeding to get a ride?
