Moorpark City.CAL,USA -The Ventura County Star, by Michele Willer-Allred -July 2, 2009: -- The Moorpark City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved replacing the city’s diesel engine buses with three new lower emission buses...

Three 32-foot El Dorado National E-Z Rider II buses will replace outdated school-type buses in the city, a 1998 Bluebird and two 2002 El Dorado MST IIs...

However, that additional investment in hybrid buses comes despite the findings of a recent report by O'ahu Transit Services Inc. — operator of TheBus — that buying more modern diesel buses makes better financial and environmental sense than buying fewer more expensive hybrid buses...
