Fuel Cell Bus Partnerships
Golden Gate Transit, in partnership with AC Transit and other transit agencies in the Bay Area, participates in the California Fuel Cell Program, which is sponsored by the California Air Resources Board and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in partnership with the Department of Energy (DOE). The partnership includes a demonstration of fuel cell-powered buses designed to reduce the use of gasoline as fuel and instead use alternative, renewable resources to power new urban buses. Golden Gate Transit operated the fuel cell buses on several Marin Transit routes during the Zero Emission Bus Demonstration Program in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words fuel, cell and/or bus:
“The particular source of frustration of women observing their own self-study and measuring their worth as women by the distance they kept from men necessitated that a distance be kept, and so what vindicated them also poured fuel on the furnace of their rage. One delight presumed another dissatisfaction, but their hatefulness confessed to their own lack of power to please. They hated men because they needed husbands, and they loathed the men they chased away for going.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“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)
“There was an old man from Darjeeling
Who got on a bus bound for Ealing.
It said at the door,
“Please don’t spit on the floor,”
So he carefully spat on the ceiling.”
—Anonymous.
