Hybrid buses
Citibus has unveiled six diesel-electric hybrid buses that will begin service on city routes. Managers hope the buses will use 60 percent of the fuel that their older, larger peers consume running customers across the city. Lubbock purchased the buses with almost $3.3 million in state and federal grant money. The smaller buses seat 23 passengers, can support full-size wheelchairs and will run on all but two city-based routes. Battery packs showed no signs of failure over the past five years in other cities, the equipment has a lifespan of seven years.
