TOLEDO, OHIO -- Toledo's transit authority wants to make sure it's ahead of the game when it comes to improving the environment. So, it's rolled out an eco-friendly bus.
Tarta's BH-1 is like nothing you've ever seen before. and it's mission is to create one of the cleanest types of transportation modes around. The bus runs on hydrogen, diesel, and bio-fuel.
It's estimated this special substance can improve fuel economy by some 25%. and this is a savings transferred right to the rider, who's most likely been affected by the recent economic downturn.
Right now, hydrogen is used mainly as a supplement to help with fuel efficiency. But developers behind this project want to see it more as a role with how this bus operates.
This type of bus typically carries ten passengers, including those with disabilities. It's used mostly for the Call-A-Ride service. Government funding is paying for a good portion of this 3-year project. You can go to www.tarta.com for more information.
