New Transit Buses For The 80’s

The introduction of new, full-size, advance design buses (ADB’s) is cited as meeting a growing need for a universal mass transit vehicle. Features of the new buses and methods of construction are presented. In the decade of the 80’s, fuel efficiency improvements will be incorporated into the ADB’s and predictions are made of limited introductions of battery, turbine, and flywheel propelled buses. Longer, articulated buses for increased productivity are also discussed.
