One of my teachers presented me with this article from Monday’s NY Post:
Hybrid Buses breaking down
By JEREMY OLSHANHybrid buses may be good for the environment, but they’re also good for the mechanics.
NYC Transit’s fleet of more than 600 Orion VII buses have repeatedly suffered power-generator breakdowns.
Manufacturer Orion Bus Industries hasn’t fixed the problem, according to MTA documents, so the agency plans spend $200,000 on a consultant to find a solution.
Personally I have faith that these buses are good buses – they might be half-plastic, but I’m more for cosmetics than mechanics, as most of my readers know. It’s just too bad they are failing so much.
