Calgary Transit is on track to purchase 259 new electric buses after the federal government upped its funding commitment for the project to nearly $500 million.
Probably China, like all other batteries. China has a huge fleet of electric busses already and has been running them for years. The logistical problems have already been solved, so it will largely be a matter of getting charging infrastructure built out at the transit sheds.
I’m curious where the batteries will come from and what the maintenance for those will be like. Hopefully it’s something manageable.
I wonder if they’ll have those electric brake sounds the train does. Mmmmeeeeeeeeppp
