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)
“There’s not one part of his physical being that’s like that of human beings. From his warped brain down to the tiniest argumentative cell of his huge carcass, he’s unearthly.”
—Willis Cooper. Rowland V. Lee. Wolf von Frankenstein (Basil Rathbone)
“It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Dancing with the Duke of Devonshire was a long way from not being allowed to bowl in Jefferson City, Missouri, because the white customers complained about it.”
—Althea Gibson (b. 1927)
