A bus that gets 30 miles per gallon? * USA - Kitsap Transit hopes so
Seattle,Wash,USA -The Seattle Post Intelligencer, by Monica Guzman -February 5, 2008: -- Environmental advocates and fans of The Jetsons will probably agree that Kitsap Transit's hybrid passenger bus is a step in the right direction... The Bremerton-based transportation agency is working up a prototype for a bus that will use less than half as much gas as its current fleet. They're getting help from the Vehicle Research Institute at Western Washington University... So far, technicians have only determined that the bus will be a fuel/electric hybrid. What type of fuel the bus will run on hasn't been determined... Kitsap Transit is piloting the design, but WWU officials say at least 10 other regional transit systems are keeping their eyes on the project, which could take several years to complete...
