BusHunter Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Looks like the city has had its press conference on the release of the #600 prototypes. Press conference just mentions #66.. They still are going strong on the idea that we will have all electric buses in 20 years. There going to need alot of electric bus infrastructure Bill's from the pres. In other news, an vaccination cta bus for covid-19 has been established. I dont know what bus it is. But if I was a betting man I'd say those #6400's may not be done just yet!!

pudgym29 Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 [font=estrangelo edessa] [color=#b03060] [size=3] Do the electric buses [i]only run[/i] during the morning AM rush? [i]I do not exist until 11 AM at least[/i]. So when I went to my bookmarks for tracking buses running on routes, including the #66, I never glimpsed an all-electric bus (600) running on the #66.

BusHunter Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 They are getting brave. This morning 2 Proterras are running on #66 #605 and #600. I wonder if they're both trippers. I believe the only proterra that hasnt been in service yet is #601. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only supposed to be 5 buses but somehow I count 6 #600-#605. Maybe #601 doesnt exist yet either or it's a mechanical prototype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Wow #605 is still out there doing a second trip. So we might be seeing the first proterra that's stays out past a tripper. They need to really test the charging and this should help in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
