Attendees at the American Public Transportation Association's (APTA) Legislative Conference held in Washington, D.C., this past March, laid eyes on a relatively unfamiliar sight to North America: A 20-foot, low-entrance, electric minibus. This pint-sized vehicle style, while new to the North American market, carries loads of potential positive impacts. A new vehicle style could provide some level of relief to a small bus market hit hard by supply chain challenges. Its size lends itself to the nimble-ness required of vehicles used for microtransit or on-demand services, and it's electric, which supports the industry's wider move toward lower and zero-emission fleets. |
