Frank Otero has an insightful conversation with Joseph Giulietti, Director of Rail Transit Services at TYLin.
America’s bus network supports a diverse population, from daily commuters to those living in underserved areas, while also playing a critical role in education by transporting up to half of the nation’s children to and from school each day.
However, despite the growing momentum toward electric vehicles (EVs) in the transportation sector, significant challenges remain before public bus systems can fully transition to electric fleets.
Frank and Joe discuss important issues such as the high upfront cost of electric buses, the need for widespread charging infrastructure, and the strain on the energy grid that must be addressed to ensure a smooth and equitable shift toward more sustainable public transit.
