A sign of a great city is that the rich take public transit. Well, not really. They take light rail and subways. But they don’t take buses. In many cities, light rail systems attract a more affluent ridership compared to buses, highlighting a persistent disparity in public transit usage. Studies … [continued]

Every time I publish anything on electric buses — and I’ve published a lot on them recently — hydrogen bus fans point out that in the west, diesel heaters are often included in buses for winter time use. They say that as if the waste heat from fuel cells was … [continued]

In the middle of 2024, I documented the remarkable disappearance of claims of environmental virtue from the websites and social media of Canadian oil and gas companies and the lobbying groups they employed. Overnight, the degree of factual accuracy on their public sites went up by a remarkable amount. Why? … [continued]

Into Canada’s ongoing challenges with bus fleet decarbonization comes Winnipeg, which hasn’t featured much so far in the ongoing tale of transit think tank CUTRIC’s incompetence, sole sourcing and hydrogen-centric conflicts of interest. However, it did have a role in a piece assessing Canadian bus manufacture New Flyer’s strategic missteps … [continued]

In one of my articles related to the debacle that is Canada’s transit think tank CUTRIC’s guidance and modeling on bus fleet decarbonization, especially the Brampton fleet report that was off by about $1.5 billion on a $9 billion price tag, I shared the open letter to the Board I’d … [continued]

Four weeks ago, I didn’t know the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium existed. If I’d seen mention of it, I probably would have assumed it as an innocuous little organization full of pleasant Canadians working diligently for the good of Canadian transit. But the onion keeps being peeled. … [continued]

Globally, there are almost 700,000 battery electric buses in operation and perhaps 6,000 hydrogen buses. In Europe in 2023, about 6,400 new battery electric buses were registered vs. about 140 hydrogen buses. As I noted recently, there have are more hydrogen bus trials that have been abandoned than operational hydrogen … [continued]
