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:
“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)
“I turn and turn in my cell like a fly that doesn’t know where to die.”
—Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937)
“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.
