Metrolinx Will Begin Testing Two Electric Buses In The Week After Opening The New System

These buses look like go buses, and have been modified to include nine batteries, so they’re capable of generating 648 kilometers of electricity. We’re making an impact on a greener future!

Metrolinx (@Metrolinx) December 13, 2021 As long as the new electric buses are ready to test on-road, they won’t be available for riders until 2022. If any of the current tests are required, the passengers cannot join the car as soon as they take off. According to Metrolinx, the new bus would be quieter due to the lack of a diesel engine and will have USB ports to allow passengers to charge their devices on the go. On the buses, in addition, there will be seatbelts for passengers, as part of new legislation and less seats, due to the dreadful lack of space on the lower back of the bus. The new bus will be added to select routes west of Toronto, so expect to see them around Mississauga, Etobicoke, Brampton, Ontario. Image credit: Metrolinx Source: Metrolinx
