M. Parsons Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 854 alive and well in Downtown Edmonton during the PM peak. Yes, it seems rumours of their demise were exaggerated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for letting me know! I'm sorry I bothered you about those buses being retired last time and for changing my account. Hope we get back on track and I also apologize for going off topic.

MAX BRT Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 There is a bit of information on the St. Albert electric bus program toward the bottom of the following article: https://www.act-news.com/news/transit-leading-the-way-toward-heavy-duty-electrification/ It sounds like they've been pleased with the range, and the fuel-cost savings have been substantial. StAT’s diesel buses cost $0.45 to $0.50 per km; the new battery-electric units are averaging about $0.09 per km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
