King County (Washington) To Get 120 Electric Buses
King County Metro, which serves Seattle and the rest of King County, Washington,
recently agreed to purchase 40 sixty-foot Xcelsior CHARGE articulated electric buses from New Flyer.
Furthermore, it intends to order another 80 of these battery-electric buses next year.
King County Metro tested out these electric buses in 2018.
As tests in many others cities could have told the transit agency,
the buses work well,
drivers and passengers love them,
and costs to operate them are so low that the lifetime costs of the buses are competitive or lower than conventional fossil-powered buses.
Unsurprisingly, King County Metro found from its own tests that was the case and decided to make these plans to electrify.
