Tejo Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 most likely combustion engine.That's unfortunate to think. Surely someone has thought to use electric buses, or if nothing else diesel/electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desirous Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I still don't get it. If there is to be electric buses driving down dedicated roadways, why not just use rail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is to be electric buses driving down dedicated roadways, why not just use rail?I see your point, but this is Houston. <there's a slogan>So, we should expect that Metro will run diesel poweredbuses along a fixed guide way, rather than stringing upthe power lines and using electric powered buses.
