You should really spend more time (not on here but say) in San Francisco's Municipal Railway system/s. They own the rights to the water, (and in effect the cost of electrical generation is ZERO), own literally a world destination international airport and STILL lose money on the electric MASS TRANSPORTATION, specifically; cable cars (INXS of 100 years old), electric trolley buses and electric light rail.
 
Indeed the real news is that the "work horse line/s" which some are literally double length busses are in fact (unmitigated) DIESEL busses!!!

i'm really scratching my head on this one.
 
what in tarnation is mass transit?? Is that when cars travel in packs down the highway? Or is it just when I carpool?
 
Oh, I just googled it .... yeah, ain't got none of that where I live.

Ruking1,
 
How does this relate to "is this the day of the diesel?" exactly, again?
 
 
 
Doesn't this go in the "Hybrids in the HOV lane" forum?

Might ask a similar question why you posted an article about diesel vs gasoline!?

Um, because gasoline is pertinent now and if diesel is going to "have it's day" then it's going to be at the expense of gasoline usage.
 
If this is "the day of the diesel" which we are debating here, then people are going to have to decide if they want to use diesel OR gasoline in their cars and trucks, are they not?

And/or hybrid included? Quite a HUGE premium for a solo pass? Now that legislature might kill or let expire the legislation.... Or the legislature is really saying ... ?

hybrids are gasoline vehicles, until the next advance.
 
If you want to talk Hybrids in the HOV lane, let's go there.
 
PS. The high mileage diesels are in that legislation for the HOV lane also. They just did not have any clean enough to be awarded stickers.
