"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli
CDTA's Full-Size Bus Fleet Exceeds 25% Diesel-Electric HybridBy nycowboy, Section Diaries
As of this summer, CDTA will have it's fleet:
They have a fleet of 174 conventional non-hybrid buses remaining, with about 20 of the 1996-1998 Orion buses being either sold to Binghamton Trasit or scrapped (those damaged by fires or otherwise totaled). That means 25.2% of fleet is diesel-electric hybrid. Not all of the 20 new hybrids that they are expecting delivery this year are on the road, although at least 4 or 5 of them already are as I've seen them around.
Here is the list from the Subchat Bulletin board:
