Solar-Powered Lights to Brighten Bus Stops
From Times Wire Reports
More than 125 bus stops in northern San Diego County will be illuminated by solar-powered lights as a cost-effective alternative to running electrical wires to remote areas.
Pressing a button on the street lamp turns on the light for 10-minute intervals during the nighttime only.
Each street lamp costs $1,500 and is part of a bus stop improvement program financed by a $350,000 county grant and a $600,000 rural transit improvement grant from the California Department of Transportation.
