Hybrid School Buses

http://www.govtech.com/gt/260565?topic=117691
Click on the link above to see how the Indiana Department of Education joined with a local company to convert an existing school bus into a hybrid vehicle. This is the first bus of its type. Hopefully the trend will continue.

  2. I think this is a great idea! School buses are very big and probably use a lot of gas. So if school buses would go hybrid it would save a lot of money in the long run.

  3. I think it is inevitable that this generation will see alternative energy in transportation. However, I don't expect to see hybrid school busses or hybrid 18-wheelers anytime soon. We still are far from making truly effective coupes and sedans that run from alternative energy.

  4. Why not. If kids ride a green school bus and are aware of it, they will probably realize how important it is and therefore take that atititude into thier lives. The whole school district would be green. By the way did you see philly's plans to be the greenest city in the country by 2015?
