Hybrid buses burning clean diesel fuel (not gasoline -- none of NYCT's buses use gasoline) rival the clean-fuel specifications of CNG buses, even doing better than CNG buses in some categories of emissions, without the infrastructure cost involved in converting a depot for CNG and maintaining the CNG equipment in the depot.Where is the evidence that hybrids burn only 5% less fuel (presumably than standard diesel buses)? As to sound effects, I know of no transit agency that will pick one bus model over another because of the way it sounds. David |
