HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - In a press conference next to a quietly-humming 40-foot bus, city officials on Monday unveiled the first of what will eventually be an entire fleet of all-electric city buses.
“The bus is on and running right now,” said Jon Nouchi, the acting director of the Department of Transportation Services. “With a diesel bus, we would never run a press conference with a bus ambiently, just the noise it would be creating, being on.”
