LOS ANGELES : Electric Shuttle Bus Service Begins
Los Angeles International Airport will introduce today the first of four electric shuttle buses for the regular route between remote parking lots and the main terminal.
The battery-powered buses emit 97% less pollution than diesel-powered vehicles and carry 32 passengers, officials said.
Use of the one bus will eliminate more than 5,000 pounds of smog-forming emissions this year, Councilwoman Ruth Galanter said. Three more buses are scheduled to be added later in the year.
