Pilot Programs in Oakland, Dayton
|
AC Transit in Oakland, CA, and the Greater Dayton (OH) Regional Transit Authority (RTA) are both conducting pilot projects for new vehicles. Top photo, AC Transit is operating a 42-foot double-decker bus from Alexander Dennis fare free during the pilot period. The agency first deployed the 80-seat coach on a route between Fremont and Stanford University, then moved it to other daily routes crossing San Francisco Bay and operating on city streets. Bottom photo, RTA is testing four prototype “NexGen” (next-generation) dual-mode electric trolleybuses that can operate either on or off the agency’s overhead electric system, collecting data that it will then compare with its existing trolleybus and diesel and hybrid fleets. Gillig built the buses, with conversion by Complete Coach Works and Vossloh-Kiepe.
