Just like Hamilton Councillor Sam Merulla’s proposal for a free public transit system, Adelaide Australia’s “world’s-first solar-powered electric bus“, is an example of visionary thinking.
Would you like to see London’s LTC purchase one of these to put it through it’s paces and calculate the economics of having a whole fleet of them?
