Transit Buses
Versatile propane-fueled transit buses can be used for many purposes,
serving as commuter shuttles, neighborhood and city circulators, and
paratransit for the disabled. Propane’s efficiency, reliability, and
affordability make propane-fueled transit buses a wise choice for
demanding, high-mileage routes that require frequent idling. Propane
transit buses can also help transit authorities meet federal alternative
fuel vehicle requirements for fleets.

Transit agencies can
choose to retrofit their buses with low-emissions propane technology or
to purchase new propane-fueled bus engines. Propane can also be
integrated into a hybrid electric bus to ensure reliable long-term
performance. All of these options are well suited for transit
operations.
Propane-fueled transit buses offer the following
benefits:
• A viable pathway for complying with federal
alternative fuel vehicle requirements for fleets.
• Simple, often
on-site, refueling processes.
• Cost-effective development of
on-site refueling infrastructure.
• Purchase or conversion rebates
and incentives offered by federal and state organizations.
• Tax
credits and exemptions on refueling costs.
• Lower fuel costs than
diesel-fueled alternatives.
