Honolulu receives 2 more hybrod buses
- The city now operates 40 hybrid buses. The newest model can actually climb hills, unlike previous versions that were restricted to low-lying routes. - billso on 2006-08-25

The buses are also "smart," with computers controlling engines, the destination signs, the fare box and radios, Morton said. "And through (the global positioning system) in our buses, the dispatchers and our buses themselves know exactly where they are. These buses announce the next stop automatically."
He said the hybrid technology will allow the city to save at least 20 percent of the 7 million gallons of fuel the buses use per year.
