| reply to Wolfie00 Re: National park in Alaska tests hybrid bus
said by Wolfie00 :I'm sure that you must have got the costs wrong -- FYI, the $200,000 bus in the article is not anything like a city bus -- it's a minibus built on a truck chassis, like a small school bus. A city bus costs upwards of half a million as mentioned before, and a hybrid about 40% to 50% more. yea, i can't remember the price, but it was significantly lower than "brand new buses"...to be quite honest, the buses were only a few years old (for some reason, 5 years comes to mind), but they looked "brand new" anyway, and were the only air conditioned city buses (although, that didn't last long). -- Best Marketplace Ever: »www.cbc.ca/marketplace/speed_bumps/ |
