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:
“I had an old axe which nobody claimed, with which by spells in winter days, on the sunny side of the house, I played about the stumps which I had got out of my bean-field. As my driver prophesied when I was plowing, they warmed me twice,—once while I was splitting them, and again when they were on the fire, so that no fuel could give out more heat. As for the axe,... if it was dull, it was at least hung true.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
“David: All the reporters are on the bus.
Lucas: Okay, start the bus then. And drive them over a cliff.”
—Jeremy Larner, U.S. screenwriter, and Michael Ritchie. David (Chris Prey)
