We have had these buses in NYC for a few years now and you can certainly tell the difference between them and their diesel guzzling counterparts. When passing a busstop now you almost find yourself scoping out the Hybrid or Electric decal on the bus to see if you are going to need a face mask or not just to walk by. Mass transit is so important and I am delighted Savannah is realizing such. It’s great to see the Creative Coast finally getting creative with transportation as well.

I may have to put down my bicycle and helmet (wait, I don't wear a helmet - working on that) and venture on to CAT. Nice. Sleek, sporty and environmentally friendly?!

The commission has been in office for 4 years and IGNORED CAT. We began calling for reinvestment in mass transit this spring during the primary season. We called for "a world class mass transportation system." Attention was called to an entirely diesel fleet and the need to buy "clean buses." Does anyone really think they would have done anything without a concerted campaign to speak out about this? We could do this for bike paths and bike lanes, call me I'll tell you how to do it.
