#ebuses
The government is busy telling everyone about fuel shipments headed to NZ.

I want to know about shipments of EVs, eBikes, eBuses, trains, and solar panels, so we don't need to worry about that other shit anymore.

(3/3) When TTC was just getting started looking at eBuses, Vancouver had already done a detailed study that TTC management did not know existed. Toronto has never seen a detailed business case comparison of hybrids, eBuses and TBs as options for our network. Existing tech isn't "innovative" enough.

The world already has over 600,000 eBuses. There’s 48 charging up today at Canberra’s new charging station.

But the 4.3 billion tonnes of emissions from Woodside’s new NW Shelf gas expansion will wipe out the climate benefits of 3.4 million eBuses.

Except that they give special subsidies to buy eBuses but nothing to run better service that could attract riders. It is not transit's job to drive industrial development.

On one of the first Ember ebuses from Edinburgh Haymarket to Inverness stopping at Pitlochry.
Bizarre really as we're running beside the non electric railway.
Bus is in effect a mobile battery storage unit today as we're only passengers on board. Anyway running to time despite the deluge. @edi.bike

Qld. Now requires a Drivers License for woke. Also no more ebuses. Diesel 🤬

#BusNews: Nelson Sustainable Transport Strategy Group (Nelsust) is sending its eco-friendly message around the region with a playful advertising campaign aimed at getting car drivers onto public transport.

Via @thepress.co.nz: www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3605...
Campaign tells drivers they ‘should’ve caught the bus’
Playful advertisements on the back of Nelson’s eBuses will urge drivers to take public transport.

(7) Chow also touted the pending acquisition of over 300 eBuses. These will replace old buses, but will *not* add to service on the street without more drivers, maintenance staff and operating subsidy. New subway trains that we can finally buy will only replace existing trains, not add to service.

They disabled the how much time to next stop timer on the ebuses :(
They got rid of the "1 min" thing

More #ElectricVehicles and their woes as in Orlando they got some new #EBuses and they have already caught fire

Cheshire East has replaced some of its fleet, including some bin lorries, with EVs. Not sure how many. There are also ebuses about so perhaps it's them sharing?

TTC is aware they will have to provide for extra time/mileage to change off ebuses before they run out of juice. They're also looking at terminal charging but nothing definite yet.

How are your BYD buses performing?
TTC has 10 in Canada but they spend most of the time in the garage and barely make it out on weekday afternoons to stretch their lags. Their performance is especially bad in winter. @swanboatsteve.bsky.social

Bristol now has loads of ebuses. Trouble is they set off too fast

Etransit buses are just better than methane burning buses for riders. Took a SM big blue gillig ebus & it was quiet & clean. Took a methane burner back & it was loud & funky smelling

Now don’t get me wrong - we need to keep using combustion buses until the end of useful life but ebuses are better.

That's good. But hows the progress on ended our dependence on the #PetroTerroristCartel?
Seeing more EV's, Etrucks and Ebuses. not heaps mind you. I like Ebuses nice and quiet, and no cancer(AKA diesel) fumes coming out the back. #Auspol

We are seeing even small agencies buying ebuses thanks to Government of Canada funding. Additionally some provinces pool transit procurement (Metrolinx Transit Procurement Initiative in Ontario) to give lower unit costs. I wonder how this would help protect service while keeping ebus benefits.
May 8, 2025 at 1:25 AM
What I want to see is a PLAN. We need OC Transpo to tell us what they need to get back to 2010 levels of service. Some things are in their control (employee hiring), some are not (ebuses being delivered late), but let's hear what they would do if city increased their budget.
March 5, 2026 at 2:12 PM
i mostly go to qc since my uni is there and yaaa there are ebuses to cubao lol
December 3, 2024 at 3:28 PM
Has the TTC pulled its eBuses from service? In my travels along Eglinton Avenue East this morning, I don't believe I've seen a single one, and my first bus of the day (a route which normally runs mostly or entirely eBuses at that time) was 100% diesels.
November 28, 2025 at 4:31 PM
@dyckron BYD already has an idle plant in Ontario for their eBuses.

Idled after the TTC opted for New Flyer iirc.
