This is an actual Santa Barbara electric bus shuttle. The city has one of the largest fleets of electric busses since 1991. According to their website, they operate 20 electric busses, but are vague on details: http://sbmtd.gov/about/facts.html http://www.streetcarmike.com/sbmtd_electric.html When trying to find the manufacturer, I came across this pdf, on page 2: "Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District Like CARTA, MTD procured a fleet ofelectric shuttles to operate on a downtown route. The downtown-waterfront shuttle serves Santa Barbara's commercial district and waterfront. The first electric shuttle bus, manufactured by Bus Manufacturing, U.S.A., Inc., began operation in January 1991. Manufacturing of additional buses was subcontracted to Specialty Vehicle Manufacturing Corporation. In 1993 MTD operated eight 22-ft (6.7-m) electric shuttle buses on its downtown-waterfront shuttle route." http://onlinepubs.trb.org/Onlinepubs/trr/1995/1496/1496-014.pdf According to this article, that company failed and became Ebus: http://www.presstelegram.com/article/ZZ/20130414/NEWS/130419204 I also found an article about APS making electric busses for Santa Barbara: http://articles.latimes.com/1995-10-03/business/fi-52873_1_electric-bus Anyone have any thoughts on what this really is and how to list? Ebus Electric Shuttle? -- Last edit: 2017-02-07 22:41:09 |
