Fuel Cell Bus Partnerships
Golden Gate Transit, in partnership with AC Transit and other large bus agencies, is participating in the California Fuel Cell Program sponsored by the California Air Resources Board and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), in partnership with the Department of Energy (DOE). The partnership involves a demonstration of three fuel-cell powered buses that reduce dependence of gasoline for fuel, and instead use alternative, renewable resources such as hydrogen and fuel cells to power buses. GGT operated a hydrogen fuel cell bus as part of a Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) Demonstration Program for Golden Gate Transit routes operated under contract with Marin Transit from February 19, 2008 to March 31, 2008. The ZEB bus was not equipped with a farebox capable of registering GGT fares, so no fares were collected during the trial period.

Famous quotes containing the words fuel, cell and/or bus:
“Beware the/easy griefs, that fool and fuel nothing./It is too easy to cry “AFRIKA!”/and shock thy street,/and purse thy mouth,/and go home to thy “Gunsmoke,” to/thy “Gilligan’s Island” and the NFL.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“She that but little patience knew,
From childhood on, had now so much
A grey gull lost its fear and flew
Down to her cell and there alit,
And there endured her fingers’ touch
And from her fingers ate its bit.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“If Rosa Parks had taken a poll before she sat down in that bus in Montgomery, she’d still be standing.”
—Mary Frances Berry (b. 1938)
