CityBus Opens CNG Station
The Greater Lafayette Public Transportation Corporation (CityBus), Lafayette, IN, recently opened a large fast-fill compressed natural gas fueling station from TruStar Energy in conjunction with Energy Systems Group.
CityBus currently runs a total of 10 CNG-powered buses, six fixed route buses and four paratransit vehicles. Ultimately the agency plans to convert its entire 73-bus fleet to CNG.
“Cost and efficiency drove the decision” following an evaluation of fuel sources, expense, environmental impact and ridership, said CityBus General Manager Martin Sennett. “Other costs, too, are going up for CityBus, so we had to figure out how to make ends meet,” he continued. “We considered the cost of the different fuel options, cost of the buses and the emissions levels and determined CNG was the best option.”
