It was so quiet you could hardly hear it run, but the hybrid portion adds $200,000 to the cost of a $500,000 plus bus purchase. The bus is American-made manufactured by Gillig Corporation in California. The new CAT buses arriving in Feb 2008 are made by the same company.
Councilor Stephenson and Crowder took a ride on it, along with members of the Raleigh Transit Authority, transit staff and a few citizens. The City Manager and few other staff members stopped by while it was parked on Hargett Street across from the Municipal Building.
Then it headed over to TTA for them to take a look at it as well.
