City Bus

The big bouncing bus bullies its way through the bustling streets, hefting its hulking metal body over bumps and around narrow bends as if it were the unquestionable master of the metropolitan roadway. This is no mundane monolith moving through some random three mile thoroughfare, this is the bold, beautiful, surreal sound of your city bus. Due to the high number of urban bus operations, transit buses are at the forefront of energy efficient upgrading. New technologies include: hybrid electric, all-electric, natural gas, and fuel cells. The latest bus development and testing is aimed at reducing fuel usage, shifting to green electricity, improving air quality, and decreasing overall environmental impact. Getting commuters to use buses rather than personal cars is also important for energy independence. Many industry members and commentators promote the idea of making the interior of a transit bus as inviting as a private car, recognising the chief competitor to the transit bus in most markets.
